I listened to both the "Succour" and the "Mossy Liquor" versions of "Sinister But Happy" - they sound pretty damn similar, and may even be the same take. If there is any difference between the two it's in the piano, but it's very minor.

I think most people bleep out the dirty parts. Some omit the offending bits. In this day and age, it is more common to leave in the foul words and sounds and just put a warning lable on the packaging. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Once upon a time when I was an audiophile and vinyl snob, I would always use the Discwasher record cleaning system. It was designed to leave the least amount of residue while lifting off the dirt instead of grinding it in. Steel wool, bleach, and a broiler for drying seems to work well on my Neil Diamond albums. You have to scrub real hard to "clean" the sound of the ET song. - -the combustible shark person ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Jan 1998 19:31:19 -0700 From: hal brandt Subject: Where Do You Go When You Die? Hello, Things have been a bit slow on the list, so I decided to do some lyric transcribing. I was listening to a really good studio (Kershaw Session) version of this one and felt compelled to share it with those who haven't had an an opportunity to hear this unreleased gem yet. Some of Robyn's most scathing (some may say blasphemous!) lyrics yet. Here goes: WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN YOU DIE? Where do you go when you die? Where do you go when you die? There isn't any saviour There isn't any Lord There isn't a madonna Sitting there to be adored There is no salvation There is no damnation This is it for you And baby, this is it for me Where do you go when you die? Where do you go when you die? The church is full of people Praying to themselves Praying to each other Praying not to go to hell The church is full of people Praying to the void Eyes deep within them And they're feeling paraniod You know, all I've ever been is me All I know is I And I will turn to nothing In the moment that I die Where do you go when you die? Where do you go when you die? You're conciousness evaporates Your body hits the ground And if you have a soul, you know It will not stick around It could merge with Napoleon Or blend with Easy-E's Might get stuck in limbo Like a balloon up in the trees There ain't no Pontius Pilate There ain't no Judas Priest There's just a lump of rotting meat Officially pronounced deceased Where do you go when you die? Where do you go when you die? You're not supposed to ask that question You're supposed to be here now And if you have good karma You won't come back as a cow Where do you go when you die? Where do you go when you die? Where do you go? © Robyn Hitchcock lyrics reprinted without permission Hope you have enjoyed! /hal ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Jan 98 19:13:00 -0800 From: Russ Reynolds Subject: God Part 3? Wow. Too bad "God Part 2" was already taken as a song title. Are you sure John Lennon didn't write this? -russ - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN YOU DIE? > >Where do you go when you die? >Where do you go when you die? > >There isn't any saviour >There isn't any Lord >There isn't a madonna >Sitting there to be adored >There is no salvation >There is no damnation >This is it for you >And baby, this is it for me > >Where do you go when you die? >Where do you go when you die? > >The church is full of people >Praying to themselves >Praying to each other >Praying not to go to hell >The church is full of people >Praying to the void >Eyes deep within them >And they're feeling paraniod >You know, all I've ever been is me >All I know is I >And I will turn to nothing >In the moment that I die > >Where do you go when you die? >Where do you go when you die? > >You're conciousness evaporates >Your body hits the ground >And if you have a soul, you know >It will not stick around >It could merge with Napoleon >Or blend with Easy-E's >Might get stuck in limbo >Like a balloon up in the trees >There ain't no Pontius Pilate >There ain't no Judas Priest >There's just a lump of rotting meat >Officially pronounced deceased > >Where do you go when you die? >Where do you go when you die? > >You're not supposed to ask that question >You're supposed to be here now >And if you have good karma >You won't come back as a cow > >Where do you go when you die? >Where do you go when you die? >Where do you go? > >_ Robyn Hitchcock > lyrics reprinted without permission ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Jan 1998 21:07:36 -0700 From: hal brandt Subject: Martin Carthy Just wondering... Why wasn't "Polly On The Shore" credited to Martin Carthy on "You & Oblivion"? Robyn is a fan of his and introduced this song as Carthy's composition on Andy Kershaw's show. (Robyn also played "Swaggering Boney" by Martin Carthy when he was the guest DJ on KCRW-FM 9.24.95.) Maybe Jim Neill can shed some light on this omission...over to you, Jim! /hal ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V7 #5 *****************************
