Chris: "Kurt devo dirti una cosa... Jason è andato via... era stanco di vedersi distruggere ogni sera chitarra e amplificatore".
Kurt: "Ah si!? Che vada a farsi fottere! Anzi ti dico una cosa... siamo noi a cacciarlo via... Quando lo incontro digli che si può riprendere quei fottuti 600 dollari che ci ha prestato per registare "Bleach" e poi può andarsene anche affanculo. Possiamo farne a meno... ho sempre pensato che Jason Everman fosse uno stronzo. E poi il numero perfetto per una rock band è tre. Tre e basta. E Chad che fa? Rimane con noi o torna a suonare il suo jazz da snob?"
Chris: "Ormai credo che anche lui abbia voglia di cambiare aria."
Kurt: "Mmmm... Cos'ha detto Mascis a proposito del nostro invito?"
Chris: "Dice che riparte il tour dei Dinosaur... bisogna che ci troviamo un batterista a tempo pieno."
Kurt: "Che si fotta anche lui! Merda... possibile che in questa cazzo di città non ci sia un fottuto batterista libero?"
Chris: "Dale ci darà un mano... gli sono sempre piaciuti i tuoi pezzi..."
Kurt: "Dale è ok, ha suonato davvero bene su "Floyd the Barber" ma ha già i Melvins... Io voglio un batterista tutto nostro. Uno che pensi solo ai Nirvana! Abbiamo appena registrato un gran disco e tutti ci abbandonano!"
Chris: "Già... proprio ora che Poneman si è messo in contatto con la Geffen... ma che cazzo gli prende a tutti?!"
Kurt: "Aspetta però... faremo un disco per la Geffen solo se ci tratteranno come i Sonic Youth.
Chris: "Ok. Kurt: "Fammi fumare Chris... portami in giro... fammi divertire stasera."
Chris: "Stasera suonano i Melvins... Buzz mi ha detto che verrà un ragazzo dall'Ohio... Ha 21 anni... dicono che sia un talento... e picchia come un matto sulla batteria."
Kurt: "Come si chiama questo ragazzo dell'Ohio?"
Chris: "Gro-Groul... Groh, Dave Grohl!"
Kurt: "Ah Grohl..."
Kurt: "Metti la cassetta dei Pixies..."
Chris: "Mi hanno detto che si scioglieranno... è vero?"
Kurt: "Ormai Frank Black è diventato un dittatore... scrive tutto da solo. È un peccato."
Chris: "Già un vero coglione... perchè Kim Deal ha un gran talento nel comporre canzoni... prendi Gigantic... che cazzo di melodia! Poi quel morbido... sensuale... istintivo... quel magico Fender arancione... quasi quasi la preferisco a Kim Gordon..."
Kurt: "Chris, nel prossimo disco voglio che il tuo dannato basso suoni come quello di Kim."
Chris: "Ok capo. Ma la tua Jaguar deve suonare come quella di Joey Santiago allora."
Kurt: "Al massimo posso sguaiarmi come Frank Black... ma ci vuole un grande ingegnere del suono per le chitarre. Chris, chi era il produttore di Doolittle?"
Chris: "Steve Albini."
Kurt: "Albini... quando ci potremo permettere Steve Albini anche noi?"
Chris: "Facciamo prima un disco da 3 milioni di copie e poi chiamiamo Albini!"
Kurt: "Ahahah... non siamo mica i Pixies... A quanto siamo arrivati con "Bleach"?
Chris: "Circa diecimila copie... ma Bruce Pavitt dice che in Inghilterra c'è una casa discografica che vuole stampare il disco per l'Europa..."
Kurt: "Per l'Europa Voglio un vinile bianco... tutto bianco!"
Chris: "A me piace il verde... come il disco dei Green River... Ma costerà molto..."
Kurt: "Allora faremo 2000 copie in vinile bianco... e altre 2000 in verde! Così quando saremo famosi questi dischi andranno a ruba."
Chris: "Siiiiiii..."
Chris: "Ciao, io sono Chris e quello lì nell'angolo è Kurt... piacere di conoscerti Dave."
Dave: "Piacere mio ragazzi."
Kurt: "Ti piacciono i Pixies Dave?"
Dave: "Certo... Lovering è uno dei miei batteristi preferiti..."
Kurt: "Sentite ragazzi... ho in mente da un po' questo giro... Fa - Si bemolle - Sol diesis - Do diesis..."
Chris: "Ma.... questa sembra proprio "U-mass" dei Pixies... mi prendi in giro Kurt?!"
Dave: "Hahaha colpito! Ecco da dove veniva..."
Kurt: "Dai Chris, se ci lavoriamo nessuno lo noterà... o tutti lo noteranno... che c'importa... tu Dave vienimi dietro... fammi un bell'intro potente... mischiamo un po' le carte... nessuno prenderà mai sul serio un pezzo come questo... è solo una stupida canzone pop..."

01 Trompe le Monde (01:47)
why do cupids and angels
continually haunt her dreams like memories
of another life
is painted on her shirt in capitals
out on the free free way
there's only she and the they represented by the lights
we went to the store
and bought something great
which samples this song
from washington state
go, little record go
it is named by some guy named joe
and the words are the
letters of the words
said electrically played
for outer space and those of they who paid
this song is twice ocurred and now it's time to go away on holiday
02 Planet of Sound (02:06)
one fine day in my odd past
i picked me up a transmission
i turned the fission ignition
went looking for the broadcaster
and when i first touched some ground
they simply told me leave
was kind of hard to believe
'cause there was not one around
this ain't the planet sound
this ain't the planet sound
this ain't the planet sound
this ain't the planet sound
i had a talented wine
that land o' classical gas
and on the planet of glass
they sent me skipping through time
i got to somewhere renowned
for it's canals and color of red
and lots of guys who shook their heads
rhythmically to resound
this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't no rock and roll town
this ain't no fuckin' around
this ain't no planet of sound
i met a guy in a rover
he said its one more over
its just there where your bound
this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't the planet of sound
03 Alec Eiffel (02:50)
Pioneer of aerodynamics
(little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
They thought he was real smart Alec
(little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
He thought big they called it a phallic
(little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
They didn't know he was panoramic
Little Eiffel stands in the archway
(little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Keeping low doesn't make no sense
Sometimes people can be oh so dense
They didn't want it but he built it anyway
(little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Little Eiffel stands in the archway
(little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Keeping low don't make sense
Keeping low doesn't make no-sense
(little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Little Eiffel stands in the archway...
Oh Alexander I see you beneath the archway of aerodynamics
04 The Sad Punk (02:59)
I smell smoke
that comes from a gun

he was struck by a bullet
and he melted into fluid
named extinction

one thousand miles an hour
i'm just like anyone
i want to feel
the road of tar beneath the wheel
named extinction

and evolving from the sea
would not be too much time for me
to walk beside you in the sun
i read something
about a son of a gun
named extinction

05 Head On (02:14)
As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
I get an electric shock from you
This secondhand living just won't do
And the way I feel tonight
I could die and I wouldn't mind
And there's something going on inside
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I can't stand up
I can't cool down
I can't get my head off the ground
As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
And all I ever got from you
Was all I ever took from you
Yeah, the world could die in pain
And I wouldn't feel no shame
And there's nothing holding me to blame
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
06 U-Mass (03:00)

07 Palace of the Brine (01:34)
In a place they say is dead
in the lake that's like an ocean
i count about a billion head
all the time
there's a motion
palace of the brine
i saw the cloning
of the famous family
i heard the droning
in the shrine
of the sea-monkey
palace of the brine
beneath reflections in the fountain
the starry sky and utah mountains
they are swimming happily
can't you see
a life that's so sublime
palace of the brine.
08 Letter to Memphis (02:40)
The day since i met her
i can't believe it's true
she came here from memphis
across the ocean sailing
and i saw her a i pleaded
why do you come so far and she said
trying to get to you
how i tried to get you
trying to get you
i'm sending a letter
i'll send it right to you
i'll send it to memphis
i know that someday
everything i needed and i wanted
used to be that my head was haunted
and all these sirens they make me mad
and all this violence it brings me down
i feel strong i feel lucky
trying to get to you
said i'm going to get to you
trying to get to you.
09 Bird Dream of the Olympus Mons (02:48)
Speed leaving without
warning
i need some place to sleep tonight
blowing in the rocking of the pine
speed leaving without warning
the sunlight is going
into the mountain
i will crawl
into the mountain
sun shines in the rusty morning
skyline of the olympus mons
i think about it sometimes
sun shines in the rusty morning
once i had a good fly
into the mountain
i will fall.
10 Space (I Believe In) (04:18)
We needed something to move and fill up the space
we needed something this always is just the case
jefrey with one f jeffery took up his place
sat on a carpet and with tablas in hand took up the chase
jefrey with one f jefrey
now it occurred to me as he drove away
d= r x t
spacious (he's so) spacios
space
(i belive in ) space
jefrey with one f jeffery

(he's so) spacious
jefrey with one f jeffery
jefrey with one f jeffery
jefrey with one f one f.
11 Subbacultcha (02:09)
This is a song about something there
there is something about this song
we did the clubs what ass
i was hoping to have her in the sack
i was looking handsome
she was looking like an erotic vulture
i was all dressed in black
she was all dressed up in black
everything was fine down here
what you call it here
what you call it her
way down down down down in this subbacultcha
her warm white bellyin the life i'd lived had seen nothing
finer she shakes adn she moves me or something
she's like jellyroll like sculpture
i was wearing eyeliner
she was wearing eyeliner
it was so god down here
saving my scrapbook here
way down down down in this subbacultcha
now we live on the sea and relax and ride the tack
drug running on his panamamian schooner
she walks the deck in a black dress
and me i dress up in black
and we listen to the sea
and look at the sky in a poetic kind of way
what you call it
when you look at the sky in a poetic kind of way
you know when you grope for luna
12 Distance Equals Rate Times Time (01:19)
i had me a vision
there wasn't any television
from looking into the sun
looking into the sun
we've got to think quick
says blind st. nick, hey
from looking into the sun
looking into the sun
we've got to get some beer
we've got no atmosphere
from looking into the sun
looking into the sun
i had me a vision
there wasn't any television
from looking into the sun
looking into the sun
looking into the sun
13 Lovely Day (02:10)
At the station, at the border an egression to the exterior law and order
upward plantation
i remember your red dress
like a field full o' poppy
you were making me dreamy
stunned by a love got to do what your head says
could not let it stop me
they got one leaving today
and it's going away
got my feet in the stirrup
it can be kind of banal
but i dream of your red dress
riding down these dry canals
oh baby it's not europe
but i'm sending you money
i'm sending you lots of money
so you can buy a ticket
you will be my martian honey all the day
they got one leaving today
and it's going away.
14 Motorway to Roswell (04:43)
Last night he could not make it
he tried hard but could not make it
last night he could not make it
on a holiday
for many miles
looking for a place to stay
near some friendly star
he found this mote
and now we wonder where we are
how could this so great
turn so shitty
he ended up in army crates
and photographs in files
his tiny boat
sparked as he turned to grazed our city
i started driving on the motorway
i was feeling down
last night he could not make it
last night he could not make it
he tried hard but he could not make it
last night he could not make it
on a holiday
so many miles
looking for a place to stay
near some friendly star
he found this mote
and now we wonder
how could this so great
turn so shit
he ended up in army crates
and photographs in files
his tiny boat
sparked as he grazed it
he started heading for the motorway
and he came right now.
15 The Navajo Know (02:24)
Upon construction
there is the mohawk
his way of walking
quite high above the ground
fearless of looking down
skywalk
some people say that
the navajo know
a way of walking
quite high above the ground
fearless of looking down
oh no.
