No, this aint directed at steve or bob, I'm sure they have other fish to fry, but someone here must know.
What's the second part of Song Of The Minerals? It's just so quiet I cant hear it, same goes for Il Porno Star.
Cheerz.

The part with bob 'singing' is a random reading of the periodic table of elements...so I think it goes something like 'blah blah blah something nitrate...'
hope that helpz

Ah, thanks. I always thought the first line of it was "rip her wide open..." but assumed I was hearing things.

not elements (nitrate is not an element) i think i heard the word "feldspar." this is one of the minerals found in granite.

Thats weird, cuz I listened to it again today and it really sounds like, well, not like someone just reading something at random.
How about Il Porno Star?
They played it at ATP and I actually understood the lyrics better but by the time I got home I'd forgotten them again. Sounds something like:
here comes fitness (I know thats wrong)
its a type of pain (or fame?)
I could never understand
fulla fulla fulla cocaine cosmetics
*something* and prosthetics

something is definately 'slowly empowdered'. I also believe 'cubic units' are involved

there's that song on at action park, where the lyrics go something like, "i'd fuck a jew, in a minute." when they played it live it sounded like he said, "i'd hug a jew" though. comments?

That always sounded like 'ark at you, in a minute.
That's only make sense if the band were from Birmingham, England though.

I always understood the line to be, "How could you, in a minute."
I definitely hear "feldspar" in Song of the Minerals.
