1) "And we swam in the moonlight, for what seemed like hours, until we couldn't swim any more."

2) "And the neighbours have been drinking, and they're raising quite a stink - pretty soon they will be fighting - it can get pretty ugly."

3) "Oh dance with me, oh don't be shy, oh kiss me cunt and kiss me cock."

4) "The clothes are too white, the smiles are too bright, I'm breathing to too deep and my head's getting light."

5) "I'd like to know completely / What others so discreetly / Talk about when they leave me / Not that I notice when they're gone."

6) "Oh here I go, it's cold and foggy through the trees, help me someone, help me please..."

7) "You may bury my body down by the highway side so my old evil spirit can catch a Greyhound bus and ride."

8) "Know now that i'm on the make / and if you make a mistake / my heart wil certainly break / i'll have to jump in a lake."

9) "I dreamed of you last night. You had a different face, or maybe just a haircut."

10) "What are we letting go? Our spell is broken."

I don't have it on CD and it's something I'd love to own.


5 is the velvet underground

No but you'll LOL when you find out who it is.

They are definitely very Velvets influenced.


"I'd like to know completely / What others so discreetly / Talk about"

Nope.


It's Clinic

Distortions, which I think does actually rip off some Velvets lyrics.
