Ninetynine Lyrics

767 album

(note: lyrics below are what I think the band is singing in the song)

 

Woekenender

can you help me mister?
find the woekenender
can i get to munich in a day?
looking drawn and slightly
nervously, politely
here we go, here we go
and we know it's good
and we know it's good

have you got the answer
to all the brittle cancer
and if you haven't tried it then you should
love the smell of resin
that he got from tryin'
here we go, here we go
makin' any boots(??)
makin' any boots(??)

like we know we should
and we know it's good

do you go far
it's celtic oracle
for the chosen few
and whiskey would buy a brew

have you got the answer
to all the brittle cancer
and if you haven't tried it then you should
love the smell of resin
that he got from tryin'
here we go, here we go
makin' any boots(??)
makin' any boots(??)

do you go far
it's celtic oracle
for the chosen few
the whiskey would buy a brew

and so they said
you never said that go
you went down the stairs
with jackie and jill

(thank you... you know i was at a match the other day, a football game, football game, that was between shh! you know who... there's a mean man standin' next to me, kept shoutin' "kill everybody!", "kill everybody!, "kill everybody!". I said "who do you support?", he said "nobody, my brother's an undertaker")

 

Car Song

if you want my car (where's your car)
if you want the keys (where's your keys)
for to drive too far
from the restless city

you better take care of yourself
cuz you aint got far to go
and where it's heading next
i do not know

if you want my house (where's your house)
if you want my room (i'm on your block)
come try too far (are you blind)
cuz i only got one

you better take care of yourself
cuz you aint got far to go
and where it's heading next
i do not know

 

Vox

i don't feel like talking
speak like 1984
and good to mention
let's make a fine test of his love

visitors refrain
from smoking on the lawn
loving and basements
was that the writing on the wall

you'll get better, you'll get better

it feels like going
when nobodies going anymore
night to day shell shock
it was in question after all

and don't feel like talking
speak like 1984
and good to mention
let's make a fine test of his love
drinking the distance
knocking the ashtray on the floor
is this everlasting
5 am jets out the door

you'll get better, you'll get better

and it feels like going
when no one is going anymore
visitors refrain
from smoking on the lawn

 

Manga Cut Girl

(i can't make this one out?)

 

Gamelan
(instrumental)

 

International Mario

have you got the turn sty
listen to the phone
can you speak in plastics
can you take a call
have you got the answer?
have you got the mind?
have you got the sunsets?
have you got, have you got it all?

when it falls will my heart break?
and it's so, it's not halved that way

i might have known, i might have gone
i'm not gonna say i couldn't be wrong
i'm not gonna say...

have you got the turn sty
listen to the phone
have you got the sunsets?
erotic superman?

i'm gonna believe it's just not halved that way
you leave my, feelings alone ???

and it falls and my heart break
and it's so, it's not halved that way

i might have known, i might have gone
i'm not gonna say i couldn't be wrong
my feelings are wrong, above the right
my feelings are gone, i'm not gonna fight

 

Dorsal

oh my god, i think she's a biter
out of control
maybe as she lights her
and now she's talkin' to me
she's talkin' that way
fins grow, make it whiter

is that okay?
is this incessantly
why it means that much to me

oh my god, i think she's a biter
out of control
maybe as she lights her
and now she's talkin' to me
she's talkin' that way
fins grow, make it whiter

is that okay?
is this incessantly
why it means that much to me

 

Aztec

where did you go
what will it take
out on the streets
i've been waitin' so long
for a bus to come by

for i have a role to play
mark my words
in an aztec way

where did you go
what will it take
out on the streets
i've been waitin' so long
for the hours to roll by

for i have a role to play
mark my words
in an aztec way

 

Pavlovs Dog

so how does it feel
i hardly can tell
gaining skill didn't feel too well
the pavlov dog clinical test
formula abstact device

with electric guitar
i know you'll go far
even to camp america
will thurston suffice
the words supplied
muster courage from the crime (???)

does it fall in time with the ??
handles this sound
all your friends agree
when they call you up
you never cry systems abtractese

did you fullfill the teenage dream
on the cover of seventeen
so how does it feel
i hardly can tell
gaining skill didn't feel too well

does it fall in time with the ??
handles this sound
all your friends agree
when they call you up
you never cry systems abtractese
all my friends agree

 

1/2

and so it stands that i'll disagree
feeling bored and sick of me
given a moment i know it would tear
long way back, halfway there

halfway there with further to go
you don't seem excited, you don't let it show
when you're late and it made you so tall
it made me laugh you want to talk

and so it seems
halfway there, it's further in twos

 

Aerophobia

it's 1995; been workin' 9 to 5
hopeless ??; been sad it's easy
don't stop talking; and anxiety sets in

do i hear it's over 8
(can you be my guest it won't stop)
can't leave her bed today
(can you be my guest it won't stop)

hopeless ??; been sad it's easy
don't stop talking; and anxiety sets in

don't stop now, don't stop
hopeless ?? been sad it's easy
don't stop talking; and the gravity kicks in

did you see your eyes that day?
wouldn't matter anyway

 

Population 100 000

hello kitty, hello world
what's the story, what's up with riot girl
know the tunes are simple, karaoke ?? well i think so

everthing else will take care of itself
that's the rule at the girl school

wrote to thurston center
and they sent me a letter
i wanna do my PhD on sonic youth
the "sister" period

don't wanna know, do what i'm told
in this ?? rock and roll school

here comes the middle ?? part
with the floor tom
you think it sounds so different
but we all know it's just the same song

everthing else will take care of itself
that's the rule at the girl school

 

Hawaii

is that so pleasing
amount a story presents
descend and fall on it all
i wanna get along, i wanna get it off

i believe
it is written
things that can not be said
hold on
hold back
i believe it
millions just wouldn't

is that so pleasing
amount a story presents
descends and fall on it all
i wanna get along, i wanna get it on
i believe
it is written
the things that can not be said
hold on
hold back
i believe it
millions just wouldn't

 

Exponential

i haven't the words to advertise
i know how to get a rise out of you

everything is televised
and everything that mesmerized just went by you

asking isnt over but it's not that sane
the feelings remain

 

Pandemic

what speeds around town
with a ?????
the heat is set to bring
a promise this time
i won't leave for the moon is drunk
until we're sober
are you one drown with me
well, you don't even know her
it's funny how it's lights
to party with down (???)
sorry i decline it's much too late for sinners ???

will it be the same
will it be like before
it feels like crushin' my brain
i guess i'm jealous that you can't ignore

it's okay
who's pretendin'?
didn't you like that song?
i know ????
well i guess yes, there's plenty of it about
and it goes in circles
and i wish i could just shut up
?? unscramble it
for i'll never make sense of it
???
since when is color not an honor?
since when is blood thicker than water?

(is everybody happy? yeah!!! ???? yeah!!! well that's the most happy, ??? last 2 and a half million. tom what's that your drinkin'? is it whiskey? is it white horse? you know if it's a white horse, you'll feel it kickin' once it goes down.)
