[Susan Foreman]

The album's title track, 'Dragontown', is another slow and atmospheric song. It has a catchy chorus with a very convincing 'evil' vocal performance from Alice. Musically, it has some subtle and weird Middle-East sounding instrumentation in the background

03/12 - Dragontown (Cooper, Marlette)



"Well, here you are lying bleeding on a grimy street
See the broken glass sparkling darkly as it cuts your feet
Smell the rotting stench, the rancid odor of old cantonese
Feel the toxic flames all around you, you can hardly breathe
Come with me

Come on. I've got something to show you
Come on. You thought that it was over
Come on. You're really gonna love this
Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

We can dig you a hole deep in the ground
Bury your soul down in Dragontown
We'll be lower than low, spiralin' down
Far as you want to go, down in Dragontown

Open any door, remember everyone you met before
Oh. There's a wicked young man, cooking slowly the frying pan
And our family of bones are back together sleeping all alone
Then there's Alice, dear, and all the little things that got him here
Now you're here

Come on. I've got something to show you
Come on. You thought that it was over
Come on. You're really gonna love this
Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

We can dig you a hole deep in the ground
Bury your soul down in Dragontown
We'll be lower than low, spiralin' down
Far as you want to go down in Dragontown

We can dig you a hole deep in the ground
Bury your soul down in Dragontown
We'll be lower than low, spiralin' down
Far as you want to go down in Dragontown

We can dig you a hole deep in the ground
Bury your soul down in Dragontown
We'll be lower than low, spiralin' down
Far as you want to go down in Dragontown"

'Sex, Death And Money' is a good song. It's evil, sinister and creepy with a menacing drum rhythm and bass pattern. However, for me it's let down by the heavy distorted guitar chords - it works better when it's picking out notes during the chorus

04/12 - Sex, Death And Money (Cooper, Marlette)



"Sex, death sex death sex death...

When I go to the show all I see on the screen is a stream of pure vulgarity
I wrote down a note, I complained for a day to the House of Representatives
They laughed in my face, they said "Son, you're a one-in-a-million minority"
The name of the game is to titillate the brain, stimulate the immorality

I was so offended as I sat for three hours
It was mental cruelty, I was so shocked
Just a little more flesh
Just a little more blood
A Little closer to the edge
A little deeper in the mud
I'll never be the same

Sex, death and money, sonny, makes this wicked world go round
Sex, death and money, it's the Gospel here in Dragontown
Sex, death and money, honey, grease the wheels and make them fly
Sex, death and money, sonny, that is why we all are gonna fry

Stuck my nose in the door, ended up on the floor in the middle of an nudie show
She danced on my lap, acoupla hundred dollars later I was up on a morals rap

I was so offended as I sat for three hours
It was mental cruelty, I was so shocked
Just a little more flesh
Just a little more blood
A Little closer to the edge
A little deeper in the mud
I'll never be the same

Sex, death and money, honey, grease the wheels and make them fly
Sex, death and money, sonny, that is why we all are gonna..
That is why we all are gonna fry
That is why we all are gonna fry
(sex, death, sex, death,sex, death...)

Sex, death and money, it's the Gospel here in Dragontown
Sex, death and money, honey, that is why we all are gonna
That is why we all are gonna fry
(sex, death, sex, death, sex, death, sex..)"
