![]() In Sides (1997) [ larger cover art ] |
Shared his neighbours with a building
Knows addresses of by heart
Draws a picture of his future
Keeps the paper close at hand
Packs his tongue into a suitcase
Suffers terror on the train
And he wants to start a movement
'Cause he's indestructible
And you know they'll never find us
And they'll leave us alone
And if we just keep on talking
Then we'll still make it home
There's commotion in promotion
Now they've done good every war
Sell our pictures to a paper
Now that everyone must know
Trading satellites for substance
Let spectators pay their way
We'll invade the Trevi Fountain
Now that everyone must pay
(repeat)
Mama and baby's mother tragedy
Baby's mother's tragedy
Baby's mother's tragedy
Terrifies the kill

I also love all the crazy raver things I did when this kind of electronica was popular. These were good years with a lot of dancing (and glow sticks — ugh) with imaginary balls. Heh. |

But what's surprising me is that Bill doesn't have any of the Orbital tunes that featured vocals by Alison Goldfrapp (Nothing Left parts 1 & 2, Are We Here?, or Sad But True). |

When you bought their album "In-sides" as a double disc cd, you either got "the box" remix or the saint remix. Edit: Checked my copies...One has Times fly versions with a 28 minute Box extended, the other has Satan live and the killer Halcyon live NYC version. Orbital geek...sorry |

I will have to order the CD here online and check it out... |
| RedAdmiral | Posted: Nov 04, 2009 - 05:58 Wow, not sure I would have expected you to play this. I love this but still not sure it fits in with..... Oh nice mix to Frou Frou. I like that you didn't play this for too long it can be a bit repetative. |

| dharma_kid | Posted: Sep 17, 2009 - 21:38 the playlist has been amazingly soulless and numbing for the past hour. |
| ziggytrix (Dallas, TX) | Posted: Aug 17, 2009 - 09:46 "9:22, Personal note: When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun, so once when I was six, I did. At first the brightness was overwhelming, but I had seen that before. I kept looking, forcing myself not to blink, and then the brightness began to dissolve. My pupils shrunk to pinholes and everything came into focus and for a moment I understood." |

| Oscar_the_Grouch (In my trash can) | Posted: Feb 24, 2009 - 09:15 Trippy shit. The kinda stuff I tune to RP to hear come at me from out of the blue. *puts on dark glasses and FBI(tm) headset thingy* |
| le_colonel | Posted: Feb 08, 2009 - 12:35 Just upped my rating from 9 to 10. Perfect track from a great album. |

| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Dec 23, 2008 - 04:50 I do like a bit of hammered dulcimer, me :o). At least, that's sure what it sounds like (do correct me if I'm wrong), and it adds a bit of a 'retro' feel to the number harking back to spy movies, Mission Impossible, that sort of thing. 8 from the Nottingham jury. |
| whtahtefcuk (Flagstaff, AZ, USA) | Posted: Nov 21, 2008 - 14:53 The song is ok if you only hear it once in a life time. |
