Michael Bruce - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Piano and Organ

06/09 - My Stars (Cooper, Ezrin)



"My stars, so far
No one's callin' me home
Space brain vagabond
Living on my own

Come on ye faithful
You know all you people should come to me
I'll make you arms work
And I'll make your legs work
I'll make you see
Ladada dadada dadada dadada da da da
Whoa, yeah

Well I swear by the air I'll be made to breathe
You'll pay very dear for this vanishing deed
The power alone stored in my little hand
Could melt the Eiffel Tower
Turn the Sphinx into sand
(Whoa)
(Whoooooa)

Oh no
Thar she blows
Spreadin' crazy news
All night
Cannonball
Loves to light the fuse

And everyone blows up
And nobody grows up
To fill Dad's shoes
But that doesn't matter
'Cause no little boys really wanted to
Ladada dadada dadada dadada da da dum
Whoa bodobo bo bo

I stare at the score line
I stare at the fault line
I see a funnel back there
I think I see a crack there
Landscapes alive
And it's movin' my feet
All I need's a Holocaust
To make my day complete
Ooooooooooh, oh

[Voice-over from the film "The Day The Earth Stood Still."]
(Klaatu Barada Nikto)
(Klaatu Barada Nikto)"


Next up is 'Public Animal #9', in which the band play Motown!

07/0 - Public Animal #9 (Bruce, Cooper)



"(Hey hey hey, yeah)
(Hey hey hey)

Me and G.B.
We ain't never gonna confess
We cheated at the math test
We carved some dirty words on our desk
Well now it's time for recess
Old man waitin' by the monkey bars
Tradin' all his ball cards
And they promised him a gold star
And they told him he could go far

Hey Mr. Bluelegs
Where are you takin' me?
I'm like a lifer
In the state penitentiary
If I keep my nose clean
I won't get my eye shined
But I'm proud to be
Public Animal Number Nine

License plates are, are runnin' out of my ears
I'd give a month of cigarettes for just a couple of lousy beers
Or even a bottle of real cheap wine
But that's the price you pay to be
Public Animal Number Nine, Number Nine
(Ooooh!)

Hey Mrs. Cranston
Where are you takin' me?
Feel like a lifer
In the state penitentiary
She wanted an Einstein
But she got a Frankenstein
Yeah, I'm proud to be
Public Animal Number Nine

(Aaow!)
Public Animal Number Nine
Public Animal Number Nine
Public Animal Number Nine Nine
Public Animal Number Nine Number Nine
Number Nine Number Nine
Number Nine , Number Nine
Animal Number Nine
Public Animal Number Nine Nine
Public Animal Number Nine
Public Animal Number Nine
Errrrrrrrrrrrgh
Public Animal Number Nine
Public Animal Number Nine
Public Animal Number Number Nine Nine
Public Animal Naaaaaaaagh"
