Incarcerated in the back of this old camper van
Unscrambling all of those mysteries and master plans
But when the day is done
It's a Corby trouser press in a hotel room for one
Splendid isolation, when it’s better on your own
Splendid isolation, soprano or a baritone
Splendid isolation, don’t hate everyone around me
Splendid isolation, well, some of them maybe
And as for matters of the heart I simply haven’t got a clue
I don’t know how I feel or where to start or what to do
Body chemistry
Boys might make me feel warm inside, but sometimes so does Daphne
Splendid Isolation, I will keep myself in check
Splendid Isolation, a tomboy in a turtleneck
Splendid Isolation, speaking metaphorically
Splendid Isolation, I’m a car wrapped round a tree

Mexicans [EP Mix]

Our focus group has made its report
There are concerns that you need to address
The apache never wore war paint
And that's not an authentic headdress
The old man yawned and scratched his head
“You know you people make me retch when you talk about branding
In retrospect the red man should have fought you motherfuckers till the last man standing”
Our lawyers say you can't use the name Geronimo
You'll have to cease and desist
Come on Chief Thundercloud, get off your pony
You know you don't really exist
The old man fixed him with a stare
Said: "You're not really there, or you might be Mexicans
I'm going to fight your lawyers and your focus group to death
Yeah, I think they're probably Mexicans"

No sign of that show dog anywhere on this train
There's just that ugly-looking great dane
You're quite convincing but you won't win me round
Because you're a substitute for another hound
You are the tramp, now what did you do with the lady?
The switch, as you call it, will not be changed
The switch, as you call it, will not be changed
At lunch you were a little bit pushy but it's not your fault
That fuss when you asked the Englishman to pass the salt... you said
My favourite dog food, you can't beat it,
Did you know a million Mexican dogs eat it?
You know what they say - a million mexicans can't be wrong
The switch, as you call it, will not be changed
The switch, as you call it, will not be changed
The switch, as you call it, will not be changed
The switch, as you call it, will not be changed
That would be a little outside our range,
The switch, as you call it, will not be changed

The Chrysanthemums England, UK
“The very definition of ‘cult favourites’, the Chrysanthemums are the sort of group who inspire loyalty among a small band of admirers while remaining entirely below the radar of the public at large ... few bands walk the knife's edge between accessibility and impenetrability so well.” [Stewart Mason, AllMusic] ... more
