then a dragon-tail of smoke coiling across the -room; then there was a darkness; and then the 24-track quietly died. the -animals, cowering in corners, whined, *why didn't you fucking fools jump -ship at the first sign of the storm*? that's when we drifted away from -the jinxed hotel... floating until we found safe harbour in a studio we -could borrow for a few days - one whose own resident dogs, zoro and -ciska, greeted us with idiot grins and the contented looks of drunken -sailors on calm seas. mixing was finished in a kind of delirious -distress at MixArt in notre-dame-de-grace, montréal, autumn 2003. these -lucky thirteen. dieu merci. slgc. *new year's eve* 2003. - -siren's song. instrumental. - -la la la, amerika. amerika is crawling with cops tonight as we put our -fists through the windows of the world i know you're broken and you're -down at the mouth but you're pouting like a punished little girl when -darkness calls night falls oh mother where are the children you've -orphaned all over the Earth we're frightened and sickened and -poverty-stricken and waiting for you to send word when darkness calls -the sky falls we're tired mother and we're poor we're wretched at your -teeming shore we're homeless and tossed by the storm looking for the -light at your golden door when darkness calls night falls. - -flüffy: marching drum, percussion & choir;

then a dragon-tail of smoke coiling across the +room; then there was a darkness; and then the 24-track quietly died. +the animals, cowering in corners, whined, *why didn't you fucking +fools jump ship at the first sign of the storm*? that's when we +drifted away from the jinxed hotel... floating until we found safe +harbour in a studio we could borrow for a few days - one whose own +resident dogs, zoro and ciska, greeted us with idiot grins and the +contented looks of drunken sailors on calm seas. mixing was finished +in a kind of delirious distress at MixArt in notre-dame-de-grace, +montréal, autumn 2003. these lucky thirteen. dieu merci. slgc. *new +year's eve* 2003. + +siren's song. instrumental. + +la la la, amerika. amerika is crawling with cops tonight as we put +our fists through the windows of the world i know you're broken and +you're down at the mouth but you're pouting like a punished little +girl when darkness calls night falls oh mother where are the children +you've orphaned all over the Earth we're frightened and sickened +and poverty-stricken and waiting for you to send word when darkness +calls the sky falls we're tired mother and we're poor we're wretched +at your teeming shore we're homeless and tossed by the storm looking +for the light at your golden door when darkness calls night falls. + +flüffy: marching drum, percussion & choir;
