"I STAND AT THE WINDOW AND LOOK AT THE SEA
THEN I MAKE ME A POT OF OPIUM TEA"
OSSHH
  
A'HOWLING  THE GHOST IS HOWLING
WANT TO JOIN  THE GHOST WANTS TO JOIN 
OH IT WANTS TO JOIN THE CHOIR
IT WANTS TO JOIN THE CHOIR OF THE PEOPLE
SINGIN' THE PRAISE OF OSH
THEY SING THE PRAISE OF OSH

THIS IS NICK CAVE
SINGING THE PRAISE OF OSH
OH YAH

EVERYTHING THAT'S GOOD IS A PRAISE OF OSH
BECAUSE OSH IS THE AUTHOR
IT'S A SELF-CONTINGENT SELF-CENTERED ENTITY
WE ARE THE WRITINGS OF OSH  THE AUTHOR
THE ARTISTIC PART OF US
NOT THE WHOLE HUMAN BEING

IT'S THE SOUL - OH LET'S CALL IT
LET'S CALL IT SOMETHING
CALL IT THE SOUL
&

THERE ARE THESE THOUGHTS COMING IN
SINCE WE HAVE THIS THINKING BRAINS
WE GOT THINKING BRAINS - HA, BABY
WE ARE SO LUCKY
NOT UGLY LIKE CROCODILES
BEAUTIFUL CREATURES WE ARE 
BEAUTIFUL CREATURES

WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT IT
MAYBE THEY LOOK AT US LIKE WE LOOK AT COCKROACHES YOU KNOW
WE DON'T KNOW REALLY  HOW WE LOOK
IN COMPARE TO SOMETHING WE DON'T KNOW

&

HE'S NOT AFRAID  HU-A-HOO
NICK CAVE IS NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING
IT'S THE BRAVEST OF ALL WARRIORS AROUND
BRAVEST WARRIOR IS NICK CAVE

"DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA"
NOW IT'S ANOTHER ONE
OH THIS IS VOLTAIRE - OR ANYONE


TRY TO GET THIS NOW
EVERYTHING GOOD COMES FROM OSH
EVERY SHIT COMES FROM THE DEVIL

&

YOU CAN EXTEND THE SALUTE 
INTO AN ENTIRE SOPHISTICATED FORM
CAN BE VERY ORNAMENTICAL THE SALUTE
THERE ARE ALSO THE FEMININE FORMS AND SO ON

THERE ARE MANY FORMS - EVERY TIME I'M TELLING A NEW ONE
INFINITE
AS MANY FORMS OF SALUTE ARE THERE 
AS MANY PEOPLE SALUTING

DON'T THINK THAT WE ARE STANDING FOR THIS KIND OF SIMILARITY
WE DO  ON ONE HAND
BUT WE ALSO LIKE THE OTHER ONE
THE INDIVIDUAL VERSIONS
WHATEVER VERSION WORKS

&

I CAN SO HARDLY BEAR MORE BEAUTY
THEY HAVE SWALLOWED ME UP, YES THEY DID

&

THIEF  THIEF IS NOT A CRIMINAL TERM
ROBBER IS - THIEF IS NOT
WE DRAW A LINE Y'KNOW
USED TO DRAW A LINE
THAT'S WHAT WE USED TO DO
DRAWING LINES ACROSS THE FIELDS OF CHAOS 

WE ARE DRAWING LINES
CUTTING EVERYTHING INTO HALF
THE WHOLE THING WE CUT INTO HALF IN THE MIDDLE

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY - IT'S HEAVEN OR HELL
THERE'S NOTHING IN-BETWEEN - HALF HEAVEN HALF HELL
THIS PURGATORY WILL BE ERASED

WE HEAVE TO CHOOSE
BE INTELLIGENT - DON'T SAY HELL HELL HELL HELL
BECAUSE HEAVEN IS SO AWFUL
DON'T SAY NOTHING, OKAY - JUST DON'T SAY NOTHING
JUST KNOW IT

&

NOW THAT WAS A CONVINCING ELOQUENT SPEECH, SPIEL?
WAS THAT AN ELOQUENT SPEECH SPIEL!?

OSH SAYS: YOUR UNPREPAREDNESS  IS ANNOYING ME
IF I COULD SCREAM I WOULD SCREAM AT YOU
I AM YOUR THOUGHT
YOU THINK YOU'RE THINKING ME
SAYS OSH

AND I'M THERE
THE TREMBLING LITTLE LAMB
BE-E-E-E-E
BÖ-Ö-Ö-Ö-Ö
BA-A-A-A-A

THE LAMB - I DON'T WANNA BE YOUR LAMB

&

YOU SHOW ME EVERYTHING  YOU SHOW ME EVERYTHING BUT THE WAY
YOU SHOW ME EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING BUT THE WAY
NOT THE WAY  NOT THE WAY

I CAN GO
YOU SEE I CAN GO
I CAN WALK NOW
I CAN WALK ON THE WATER

&

WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU  WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU
WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU
THEY BROUGHT YOU TO HELL CHARLOTTE
THEY BROUGHT YOU TO HELL CHARLOTTE
FREE YOURSELF

&

YA, WITH A STRAP-ON  I CAN DO IT WITH A STRAP-ON
I DON'T PUT ON A STRAP-ON
BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A USABLE DICK
I WON'T PUT ON A STRAP-ON

IT'S NOT A TOY- IT'S A PROSTHESIS
THERE IS TOY AND THERE IS PROSTHESIS
I REFUSE PROSTHESIS
I WOULD TAKE THE TOY BUT I REFUSE PROSTHESIS

REVOLTS - KADMON REVOLTS

&

I NEVER KNEW HOW TO BEHAVE
I NEVER BEHAVED BY INSTINCT
MY INSTINCTS ARE DEAD
THAT'S WHY I HAVE TO THINK ALL THE TIME
EITHER INSTINCT OR THINKING, RIGHT?


THE INTELLECTUAL SOLUTION IS TO THINK
"THINK ABOUT IT"

IF YOU LOST YOUR INSTINCTS YOU'RE CONDEMNED TO THINK
USE YOUR BRAINS FOR PREVENTION
KEEP YOURSELF READY FOR THE MOMENT
SO WHEN IT COMES YOU CAN SNATCH IT

&

MOMENT FLIES LIKE BUTTERFLIES
THE MOMENTS FLY LIKE BUTTERFLIES
HAVE TO SNATCH THEM - IT'S ILLUSIVE
AND YOU HAVE TO SNATCH THEM WITH YOUR PURE HANDS
NOT WITH SOME TOOL
YOU KILL THEM WITH A TOOL

NOT POSSESS WE WANT THE BUTTERFLIES
WE WANT THEIR POWER
THE POWER OF LIGHTNESS  AND  THE POWER OF BEAUTY

BUTTERFLY IS A FEMININE SYMBOL
BUTTERFLY IS THE FEMALE LUCIFER
CAN YOU IMAGINE A FEMALE LUCIFER
FRANKLY, CAN YOU IMAGINE TO BELIEVE
IN A FEMALE LUCIFER AND THEN ADORE IT

&

AREN'T THEY CONFUSING US WILLFULLY
THEY ARE JUST CONFUSING US WILLFULLY
AND THE CHRIST IS THEIR JOLLY JOKER
IN THE GAME THEY PLAY WITH OUR CARDS
THE CHRIST IS ABSOLUTE WINNER

THE KING OF CHAOS
JESUS CHRIST IS THE KING OF CHAOS
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T ATTACK HIM  YOU CAN'T REALLY ATTACK HIM
NOT THE RELIGION - DOESN'T MATTER THE RELIGION
THE FOUNDER MATTERS ONLY

NO, JESUS WAS THE MOST AMBITIOUS GUY EVER LIVED
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO DIVINITY
DIVINITY IS AMBITION
IT'S YOUR AMBITION THAT TURNS YOU DIVINE

&

AND NOW THEY FIGURED OUT A NEW THRILL
FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER
I DON'T EVEN KNOW  I CAN'T EVEN LISTEN TO IT
WHAT PROOFS OF STRANGE CONSTELLATIONS
HOLIDAYS  STARS LINE UP  EVERYTHING
HAPPENS  UNUSUAL  ONCE IN A MILLION YEARS


NOW  VERY SOON  COUPLE OF WEEKS
METEORITE - SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE WAITING THAT IT HITS THE EARTH
OH THEY ARE WAITING IT SO MUCH
EVERYBODY IS A SUICIDER  EVERYBODY  EVERYBODY

&

THIS IS THE SWEET BLUTENGEL
"SHE SAYS HELP ME HELP ME"
HE DROPPED THE WOMEN ON THIS RECORD
HE WAS IN A LOVE TRIANGLE - ALWAYS WITH TWO WOMEN BEFORE
MISTRESSES OF HIS

THEY CAME UP WITH VERY BEAUTIFUL IMAGES
THESE EARLY SYNTHPOP PEOPLE
THEY WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OF ALL TIMES

YOU CANNOT OVERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE EIGHTIES
THE REST IS REMINDER
EVEN IF THERE ARE FUTURE POP BANDS FORMED EVERY MOMENT
NEW FUTURE POP BANDS ARE FORMING

BUT IT'S OVER
THE FUTURE IS OVER
SORRY TO SAY
THE FUTURE IS OVER
IT DID NOT HAPPEN  FAILED TO HAPPEN
NOR THE SIXTIES DID
NOTHING EVER DOES

&

'AND NOW ON TURN INTO SCANDINAVIAN BLACK METAL
POUR LA FOLLOWING SET STARTING AVEC NORWAY'S DARKTHRONE'

DARKTHRONE IS STILL VERY GOOD
AND NOW IT'S GONE THIS PUNK  NUPUNK
NEO-RETRO PUNK - ONLY DARKTHRONE COULD DO IT
VERY GREAT EVOLUTION - VERY FUNNY AND VERY VERY WELL EXECUTED
THIS IS CALLED HIKING METAL PUNKS
IT'S NOT BLACK METAL - IT'S PUB ROCK
PUB METAL

&

THESE BLACKMETAL PEOPLE ARE NOT FASCISTS
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS IT  THAT'S WHY
NORWEGIAN NATIONALIST DOESN'T KNOW WHAT FASCISM IS

IT'S TREASON  FASCISM IS TREASON
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NORWEGIAN
IT'S NOT NATIONALIST
AND THEY ARE NOT  NOT IN THE PRAXIS

BUT AT THEIR HEART
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT TO DENY A NORWEGIAN HERITAGE
IS DIFFICULT - I KNOW
I HAVE A MUCH EASIER TASK

VIKING WARRIORS FOR EXAMPLE
WON'T FIGHT THE HIP-HOP STREET GANGS
THEY WILL SOONER ALLY

&

CHARLOTTE CHARLOTTE
SHAKE ME UP  SHAKE ME UP

OOH YOU SEE
NOW HOW HE HOLDS HIS FINGERS
HE'S PLAYING SATAN YOU SEE
666 -  PLAYING SATAN
AND GIVING TO IT A NAZI SALUTE

IT'S A HEAVY IMAGE, DARLING
IT'S A HEAVY IMAGE TO COME UP WITH 
EVEN IF IT'S IN THIS SIMULATED SEMI-TRANSGENDER
SIMULATED SEMI-TRANSGENDER - THAT'S WHAT I'M PERFORMING
AM I NOT

I SIMULATE THE SEMI-TRANSGENDER QUITE AUTHENTICALLY

&

'NEVER BREATHE WHAT YOU CANNOT SEE'
NEVER BREATHE WHAT YOU CANNOT SEE
THAT'S THE TITLE OF THE MELVINS ALBUM
PERFECT ADVICE - OH IT'S PERFECT ADVICE
NEVER BREATHE WHAT YOU CANNOT SEE

OSH DOESN'T TALK TO ME ALONE
IT TALKS TO EVERYONE  EVERYONE
'HELGA'S DEATH DISCO'
EVERYONE

'NOW, AND ON CONTINUE AVEC UN SET OF SEMINAL 
INDUSTRIAL  NEOFOLK ITEMS OF THE PAST
BASICALLY THE EIGHTIES' COUNTERREVOLUTIONARY DECADE
COMMENCENT AVEC DAS SOZIALISTISCHE PATIENTENKOLLEKTIV'

&


THIS IS THIS FUCKING BOYD RICE
PERFECT COMMONPLACE COMPOSED FROM LAVEY AND NIETSCHE
BUT IT'S VERY BEAUTIFULLY PUT TOGETHER

THIS IS SWASTIKAS FOR NODDY
DAVID TIBET'S FAVOURITE CHARACTER
ANIMATED - HIS IDENTIFICATION
DAVID TIBET IDENTIFIES HIMSELF WITH DRAWINGS
MORE THAN WITH PEOPLE

&

EVERYTHING I DO HAS A DIALECTICAL CONTRADICTION TO IT
THE GREATEST PROOF FOR THE EXISTENCE OF OSH
THE NON-EXISTENCE OF OSH
THE EXISTENCE OF NONE

WE'LL NEVER STOP
WE'LL NEVER BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE FOUND THE END
THE ANSWER JUST GETTING MORE REMOTE
AS CLOSER YOU GET TO THE ANSWER  IT'S BECOMING MORE REMOTE
THAT'S THE GAME  THAT'S THE GAME

WE HAVE TO CATCH UP - WITH THE SPEED OF YOUR THOUGHTS
YOU HAVE TO CATCH UP WITH THE SPEED OF YOUR THOUGHTS
TO REACH THE POINT

&

OH OH OH  SO COMPLEX
THE GARDEN OF COMPLEXITIES
I AM SO TIRED   I AM SO TIRED OF YOU
