    Lyrics:

    Let the beat control you
    Let the beat control you
    Let the beat control you
    Let the beat control you

    All these people talking 'bout you now
    They don't make no difference, no
    We always have the rhythm here
    In our blood and in our souls
    So let the beat control you now
    There's nothing here to care about
    Just you and me, let's break it down
    So follow me, I'll show you how

    All these people talking 'bout you now
    They don't make no difference, no
    We always have the rhythm here
    In our blood and in our souls
    So let the beat control you now
    There's nothing here to care about
    Just you and me, let's break it down
    So follow me, I'll show you how

    The beat
    The beat

    You and me, there's no one watching
    Come on, we can rock this party
    All night long, believe me


    Let that beat control your body
    You and me, there's no one watching
    Come on, we can rock this party
    All night long, believe me

    There is nothing stopping you
    There is nothing stopping me
    So let that beat control your body, baby

    There is nothing stopping you
    There is nothing stopping me
    So let that beat control your body, baby

    They don't make no difference, no
    We always have the rhythm here
    In our blood and in our souls
    So let the beat control you now
    There's nothing here to care about
    Just you and me, let's break it down
    So follow me, I'll show you how

    All the people gather round now
    All the people break it down now

    There is nothing stopping you
    There is nothing stopping me
    So let that beat control your body, baby

    There is nothing stopping you
    There is nothing stopping me
    So let that beat control your body, baby

    All the people gather round now
    (So let that beat control your body. baby)
    All the people break it down now
    (So let that beat control your body, baby)

    Lyrics:

    We shake it...
    We take it..
    with pride
    and show!
    We like it...
    exciting
    and ready
    to go!

    I'm projecting and reflecting desire
    for you to come into my life.
    The rays of this day will outshine them all
    for me and you to get along.

    It's like running away with the wind in our face, it's like flying
    (flying!)
    and you and I are open wide.
    It's like running away with the wind in our face, it's like flying
    (flying!)
    and you and I are open wide.

    I feel so excited and delighted today
    'cause you decided to be in my life.
    It's like running away with the wind in our face, it's like flying
    (flying!)
    and you and I are open wide.

    The show...
    the electric show!

    I get around the world upon your freeways
    it's true when you let it go.
    I get around the world upon your freeways
    it's true when you let it go.

    Lyrics:

    It started when we were
    little kids free spirits but
    already tormented by our own hands
    given to us by our parents we got together
    and wrote on desks and slept in laundry
    rooms near snowy mountains & slipped through
    whatever cracks we can find minds altered
    we didn't falter in portraying hysterical
    and tragic characters in a smog filled
    universe we loved the dirty city and the
    journeys away from it we had not yet been
    or seen our friends selves chase tails round
    and round in downward spiral leaving trail
    of irretrievable vital life juice behind still
    the brothersbloodcomradespartnerfamilycuzz
    was impenetrable
    and we lived inside it laughing with no clothes
    and everything experimental 'till death was
    upon us in our face mortality and
    lots of things seemed futile then but
    love and music can save us and did while
    the giant grey monster grew more poisoned
    and volatile around us jaws clamping down
    and spewing ugly shit around nothing
    is the same so we keep moving
    we keep moving

    Went off and got some hair cuts
    Lookin' wild & got all drugged up
    Hopped a train into the night
    Got a ride with a transvestite
    Two boys in San Francisco
    Two boys in San Francisco
    Blasted off in a BART bathroom
    Those coppers woke us up
    Motherfuckers woke us up

    Two young brothers on a hover craft
    Telepathics love and belly laughs

    We went to Fairfax High School
    Jumped off buildings into their pools
    We'd sit down and grease at Canters
    Run like hell they can't catch us
    Two boys in London, England
    Two boys in London, England
    Climbing out of hostel windows
    Wearing gear so out but in though
    Come on kid and do the no no

    Two young brothers on a hover craft
    Telepathics, love and belly laughs

    I remember 10 years ago
    In Hollywood we did some good
    and we did some real bad stuff
    but the Butthole Surfers
    said it's better to regret
    Something you did
    than something you didn't do
    yeah, we were young and we
    were looking for the deep kick...
    Seen 'em come seen 'em go

    (and I feel like getting close to you)

    [Everything In Its Right Place]
    Everything,
    Everything

    [Planet Telex]
    You can force it but it will not come
    You can taste it but it will not form

    Lyrics:

    When I have a brand new hairdo
    With my eyelashes all in curl,
    I float as the clouds on air do,
    I enjoy being a girl!

    When men say I'm cute and funny
    And my teeth aren't teeth, but pearl,
    I just lap it up like honey
    I enjoy being a girl!

    I flip when a fellow sends me flowers,
    I drool over dresses made of lace,
    I talk on the telephone for hours
    With a pound and a half of cream upon my face!

    I'm strictly a female female
    And my future I hope will be
    In the home of a brave and free male
    Who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl... like... me.

    I flip when a fellow sends me flowers,
    I drool over dresses made of lace,
    I talk on the telephone for hours
    With a pound and a half of cream upon my face!

    When I have a brand new hairdo
    With my eyelashes all in curl,
    I float as the clouds on air do,
    I enjoy being a girl!

    When someone with eyes that smoulder
    Says he loves ev'ry silken curl
    That falls on my iv'ry shoulder,
    I enjoy being a girl!

    When I hear the compliment'ry whistle
    That greets my bikini by the sea,
    I turn and I glower and I bristle,
    But I happy to know the whistle's meant for me!

    Lyrics:

    There is too much light in this bar
    I can see the black on white of this page beckoning me to scrawl
    an old Devo song on the jukebox
    old Devo? What a paradox!
    A strange, futuristic reminiscence
    but Mongoloid sure takes me back...
    There is too much light in this bar.

    A woman lights a cigarette, pale and dramatic
    Lipstick thick pout
    The waft of smoke sticks needles in my memory
    I used to smoke to be cool, in seventh grade
    when a girl called Amy wore lace up the-
    front and back hip-hugger bellbottoms and a crocheted halter
    Me trying deperately to hide
    my walking-down-the-hall out of control puberty boner
    with a math book
    and now a woman walks by with the EXACT SAME OUTFIT ON
    looking so ever so retro thrift-store hip!
    There is too much light in this bar!

    Too much light, too much vibe, too many haircuts, too much leather,
    too much 'blah blah blah' and drunken shrieks and trendy music
    pumping through the Great Altar of Mumble
    a nauseating Generation X-marks-the-G-spot dating ritual
    and I wonder if either of them have a rubber on them
    God I hope so
    There is too much light in this bar!

    You couldn't cut through the attitude with a syringe
    and I'm just about to start screaming, at the top of my lungs
    "Hey, let's all wear fake paratrooper boots and grass as far down as we possibly can"
    and see who can be the most smoulderingly pissy
    and even though we all share the same epidemic BOREDOM and APATHY
    we still have the GUMPTION to call ourselves
    ALLLLLLLLTERNATIVE!!!

    When suddenly
    Dicko Suave
    Guitar player for The Rockbusters and a serious. hardcore. mother-fucker.
    from way back.
    walks, no wait
    SWAGGERS into the room, like a gunfighter with too many bullets
    and as the jukebox pauses between songs
    he screams
    "I'm here to do heroin and FUCK...
    and I'm all outta heroin."
    He picks the closest, most pretentious person
    who is me, sitting, writing in my sketch book
    grabs me off my barstool and begins to hump
    furiously
    at my leg
    and now I know for sure there is
    WAYYYYYYYY too much light in this bar.

    Lyrics:

    One, two, three, four -
    Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
    Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
    Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
    Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

    And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
    You realize that life goes fast
    It's hard to make the good things last
    You realize the sun don'-go down
    It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

    Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
    Do You Realize - that everyone you know
    Someday will die -

    And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
    You realize that life goes fast
    It's hard to make the good things last
    You realize the sun don'-go down
    It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

    Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
    Do You Realize

    This video is a character profile of two characters from animations directed by Hideaki Anno done in the style of his post-Nadia work. As such, it's very stylised and not to everyone's taste. Despite being essentially an experimental video, it was very well received and is one of my favourites.

    Lyrics:

    Soldier is turning
    See him through white light
    War upon war
    Heat upon heat
    To cut a long story short
    I lost my mind

    Sitting on a park bench
    Years away from fighting
    To cut a long story short
    I lost my mind

    Standing in the dark
    Oh I was waiting for man to come
    I am beautiful and clean
    And so very very young
    To be standing in the street
    To be taken by someone

    Questions questions
    Give me no answers
    That’s all they ever give me
    Questions questions
    Oh look at the strange boy
    He finds it hard existing
    To cut a long story short
    I lost my mind

    "Good golly", said Little Miss Molly
    When she was rockin' in the House Of Blue Light
    Tutti Frutti was, oh, so rooty
    Rockin' to the east and west

    Lucille was, oh, so real
    When she didn't do her daddy's will
    Come on, baby, drive me crazy, do it, do it

    'Cause I'm a Speed King, you've got to hear me sing
    Yeah, I'm a Speed King, see me fly

    'Cause I'm a Speed King, you've got to hear me sing
    Yeah, I'm a Speed King, see me fly
    I'm a Speed King, you've got to hear me sing

    Yeah, I'm a Speed King, see me
