Lyrics
She's On Drugs
And you can danceGood grief, won't you look on the dancefloor! She's got to be American; she's not from here Oh no! I can't even look away She's just far too thin and beautiful as sin We're all living in a world of poultry Eating polyester and committing adultery Calm down, boy! I'll tell you the secret It's ever so simple it really, really isHey! Sha-la-la-la Oo my-my She's On Drugs What's up? Hey! Sha-la-la-la Oo my-my She's On DrugsSo steady on, get a grip on yourself You just can't act like that in the theatre Where'd you get that look in your eyes Behaving like the boss of a whole new religion Said please! I thought you got savvy But you're looking like a lemon and talking like a navvy Ah I guess that's so many people's problem these days: You can see the hills - you just can't go thereAw, it simply shouldn't ever occur If she puts her arms above her head like that again I don't know what I'll say or do Hey CharlieNow I'm out on the street and I believe she's in distress She's got her hair in her eyes and her eyes are in a mess Hey now, I've been hoping we was going to meet Now won't you take my hand so I can help you across the street? Whooo! Talk about bloodsports! Even the spectators get killed! You can see the cars, you just can't get out of their wayAh this simply doesn't happen to me If you have a single night like that in town again I don't know what I'd say or do Oh, but honey? I think I want to do it with you

Cult Of The Basement
If things seemed weird back in February 1989, when we made this baby, the Weird were going shopping on bikes. In a farmhouse in the dead of winter, in personal circumstances too bizarre and complex to relate, we set about making our "commercial suicide" album. For the first time, I felt, we had made an album that really sounded like us. This record does have personality. One of my favourites, this.
Edward's Closet
So you've got a CD player, have you? I've got a headache and an abiding dislike of expensive food crews in dumb baseball hats. I've been in Edward's Closet and he wasnt't in. "That JBC", they mutter at the bus-stop, "turned left at the light a Long Time Ago".
Unconditional
One of the better Creation-era compilations. Canadian release.
Western Family
For loonie completists only, for sure, though, if you listen through the muck, you'll see that we did our bit.
¡Excellent! The Violent Years
Millions of years ago, dinosaurs ruled the Earth. Today the Galileo Space Probe orbits mighty planet Jupiter. The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy first appeared in June 1982 in the back room of the Black Lion in Northampton. They finally drank the bar dry in a small town in in Mallorca on the 20th August 1996

The Butcher Says..
We were halfway across the rockies in supernatural British Columbia when I realised that I had never come across a song with this title before. Obviously something had to be done. Dave Francolini (a wonderful man who should not be allowed to drive) contributed some of the most hyperactive handclaps that I have ever experienced. Then we tied him up and put him with the others.
