A little smoke a bit of tar Eno’s head in a jar From me to you from you to me John Cale is stripped of his OBE Elton retires and he haunts the grounds Of a locked down fortified compound

I was cold I was lonely were you there were you there I was cold I was hungry were you there Christ on a cracker Could you Imagine The image of the saviour it was there, it was there Wherever you eat cheese I'll be there, I'll be there Wherever you eat cheese I'll be there Christ on a cracker Could you Imagine The image of the saviour it was there, it was there The image of the saviour it was there The image of the saviour it was there, it was there The image of the saviour it was there Christ on a cracker Could you Imagine The image of the saviour it was there, it was there

I’m a font of useless knowledge This is funding me through college I don’t need or want your pity One day I’ll leave this city I wanna be your shelf stacker Whatever you throw comes right back at you I wanna be your shelf stacker I’m saving up for an 8 tracker I don’t know where what you want is I just move it from shelf to shelf I don’t keep tabs on products I will dance on your graves I wanna be your shelf stacker Whatever you throw comes right back at you I wanna be your shelf stacker I’m saving up for an 8 tracker I’ve no real likes or hates I hate you all the same I will destroy you all in my memoirs But I’ve been saying that for 20 years I wanna be your shelf stacker Whatever you throw comes right back at you I wanna be your shelf stacker I saw the face of Jesus on a cream cracker

24 hours till the end of the night And the only life I know 24hrs til the end of the night There’s nowhere else to go Zoom on the can If you’re that type of man Zoom on the can I don’t know if I can I have nothing left to give I live a life of lies There is no more to forgive And now forgivings dies Zoom on the can If you’re that type of man Zoom on the can I don’t know if I can I’m younger than I feel But older than i know I’ve no discernible appeal From far too long ago

3 F’s and a D Why not try a G It always seems to me None so blind that cannot see 3F’s and a D Choose who you want to be It doesn’t mean a lot to me I’ve managed 2 in 3 3F’s and a D 3F’s and a D 3F’s and a D That will get me through university

Before my body's laid to rest There's something that i must confess It weighs so heavy on my soul My distaste for rock n roll See i was never into it The sex and drugs was more my thing Green m and ms and groupies Needles and relentless touring The music was a joke I only knew one note The rest I had to fake So the boys and I got paid Now St. Peter at the Gates there I'm ret to meet my maker But he's got to say the nay no The gates to heaven's sealed and closed For those who don't love rocknroll He pulls a lever casts me down Thru the clouds, thru the ground Into a dark conflagration Eternal hell and damnation Face to face with the devil He says hi, I say hello Because you don't like rock n roll Your soul is mine, I'll be unkind And if you change your mind About rock n roll Back up to heaven We'll send your soul Until then you'll feel the cold Of separation from the Lord Do I have to learn to love it? Can I just tolerate it? Mere toleratation doesn't cut it In your heart you have to love it Now more than ever I hate rock n roll In hell forever I hate rock n roll Additional words by Russ: get this relic off my chest confess it boy confess it no body on my soul rock and roll into what? sing it baby sing it blue velvets another worth another toke fake it laid rock n roll spend my seed on fallow ground ground) something every nation that i know mine alone x3 love love love

about

If you ever wondered what Metal Machine Music would've sounded like with songs... or what a guitar amp sounds like whilst burning to ash... wonder no longer, Salem Crabs have the answer on our debut album.

It only lasts 24mins but breaks the laws of physics by feeling much longer!
