If you are taking part in the This Nation's Saving Grace pull-out-a-thon, and you get to "Gut Of The Quantifier", I think you will know the song that made me really and honestly say "that's it, I am truly in love with this band"

get to "my new house" and ditto for me

― jake in portland (cerybut), Saturday, 29 May 2004 23:24 (twenty-two years ago)

My New House, too. Absolutely.

But "Paintwork" was my true absolute favorite, honest. I swear to God that was my favorite.

at the time i got this album, our neighbor was trying to get us evicted. our rental agency was on our side, and it was always my fantasy to blare "my new house" while grinning/staring maniacally at our neighbor while he walked his dog

ITS GOT WINDOW SILLS-AH

― jake in portland (cerybut), Saturday, 29 May 2004 23:31 (twenty-two years ago)

There's also that funny repetition of "the window sill!" on "Athlete Cured" on Frenz!

― Tim Ellison, Saturday, 29 May 2004 23:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I AM DAMO SUZUKI.

(WAIT, DID MES TAKE OVER FOR DAMO WHEN DAMO WAS BRAINWASHING THE KIDNAPPED JAPANESE CHILDREN!>?!?!)

Just have an old factory cassette of this. Sounds horrible.

Past trees the fairies are flyin
Past trees with rose bushes in
The child was spoilt Victorian
The child was spoilt Victorian

Spoilt Victorian Child

Sugar and cakes appear mean
Sitting at the table
Tigers pop-up from books

Spoilt Victorian Child

Let`s take it ten years on
You`re looking back from then
Under rough grey blankets
Thread loose stained grey blanket

Spoilt Victorian Child

C.L.O. - Pedia
E.N.C.Y.C.L.O. - Pedia

Musical chairs rouge cheeks he remembers
Thru` the aqueduct of five years
Spoilt Victorian Child shall avoid reflection
The child was spoilt Victorian

Spoilt Victorian Child

Mirrors can`t hide the toxic of disfigured Poxes

Spoilt Victorian Child

Past trees the fairies are flyin
Past trees with rose bushes in
The butterfly shrugs to fly in
Sugar and iced cakes appear mean

The child was spoilt Victorian
The child was spoilt Victorian

Spoilt Victorian Child
C.L.O. - Pedia

And you know that servants keep their order knowledge
And as you walk in on the footsteps steed babe
In the encrusted green unwild
You know you are a spoilt Victorian child

― peepee (peepee), Sunday, 30 May 2004 01:11 (twenty-two years ago)

― Bimble (bimble), Sunday, 30 May 2004 01:15 (twenty-two years ago)

ViD-DeE-Oh-Aaah!

― Bimble (bimble), Sunday, 30 May 2004 01:19 (twenty-two years ago)

So, where these guys from? London?

― peepee (peepee), Sunday, 30 May 2004 01:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, you're the one teasing people with the idea of a post-punk reformation. Are you gonna talk and tell soon?

Despite the subject of this thread, I still can't seem to get over British Grenadiers from Bend Sinister right now.

― Bimble (bimble), Sunday, 30 May 2004 01:28 (twenty-two years ago)

As soon as I get the OK, I'll get the can and spill the specific beans. Although that might come after some kinda official announcement.

― peepee (peepee), Sunday, 30 May 2004 01:32 (twenty-two years ago)

― Fr4ncis W4tlington (Francis Watlington), Sunday, 30 May 2004 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

JUST CALL ME THE FIRSTA to claim Barmy as the be all end all Fall joint to convert the wayward unbeliever - can't fathom it took y'all to reach Paintwork or Damo to get to grips.

― Dr. Annabel Lies (Michael Kelly), Sunday, 30 May 2004 03:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Will we be hearing from Joe Totale next?

― Tim Ellison, Sunday, 30 May 2004 03:34 (twenty-two years ago)

― Ian Johnson (orion), Sunday, 30 May 2004 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Hell, i loved toothpaste before I ever heard this nation's saving grace!

― Bimble (bimble), Monday, 31 May 2004 01:20 (twenty-two years ago)

With the extra singles tracks stuck randomly in the middle of the album or without.

'Cause I have to say, 'Couldn't Get Ahead' is one of my favorite rockabilly tracks'.

― Sasha (sgh), Monday, 31 May 2004 03:24 (twenty-two years ago)

My copy is in storage out of town. All I have at hand here is "Country on the Click" unfortunately.

FEEL the WRATH of my BOMBAST etc.

― daria g (daria g), Monday, 31 May 2004 03:35 (twenty-two years ago)

― Ian Johnson (orion), Monday, 31 May 2004 03:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Heres the definitive rant Karl Burns knows he's so grebt he doesn't even have to play in time on "Damo"

― Maxwell von Bismarck (maxwell von bismarck), Monday, 31 May 2004 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Sasha has made me suddenly realize how much I miss my vinyl copy. Must rectify.

― Bimble (bimble), Monday, 31 May 2004 18:27 (twenty-two years ago)
