Extra Final! Extra Final!
Brain party in the bad gateway
Get inside the bad gateway
Fold the blastophere upon itself
Wear the doorway as a badge
Become the hair, become the hands
Get through the bad gateway
Get food in the bad gateway
Down the throat, through the mouth
How else to feed? How else to get free?
Anachronistic blister wish list
It's a gag reflex, you cannot miss this
Brain party in the bad gateway
Step this way in the bad gateway
You give nothing in the bad gateway
Local bands and local kids all remain hid until the bad gateway
Bursting seems a dream inside the bad gateway
Heteronormative performative apologists
I can't take no more of this inside this bad gateway
Discretion is the edit of a luxury
For the sycophant to the 3% publication equals payday
Brands nursed, feet first, blood thirst
Surely this place for you must be the worst
Receive it all in the bad gateway
You don't wanna go out there, it's gonna kill you
Get through the bad gateway
Brain party in the bad gateway
Get killed in the bad gateway
Extra final bad gateway
Extra final bad gateway

Stop The World

The panorama of the city is wrong
In fact the city seems to be gone
Burning rubber and smoke in my eyes
There's a flat burning junk-heap
For twenty square miles
They took it in the nuclear mine
Judging by this, they left nothing behind
Down in the bunkers in the crust of the earth
Now crouch the wealthy and the noble of birth
If I could a ride a train around the city
That holds this as our fate
I'd hide from electro-circuit central
To the shock inducer gate
Not forgetting the by-pass
Across the Washington hooks
Through the phones and desks and screens
Of the Kremlin's crook of crooks
There's some panel in a circuit board
A destination of the override
Scanning the wild wind
Blowing through the Berlin corridor
Spotlit in a palace, shielded from dust
Malfunction or not, the fail-safe is the crux
So far away from us
Shaking with the mystery tears
One lonely night, far away
They got it nailed down Swiss-tight
The bank notes of Europe
The emperors and kings
Curl in the autumn as the burning of leaves
And I've cleaned my black guitar
(Words by Joe Strummer)

Usse Saint John, New Brunswick
These small plastic puzzles, similar to the gewgaws given away by petroleum and detergent manufacturers, were found over a wide area, as if they had fallen from the sky. Millions had been produced, although their purpose was hard to see. Later it was found that unusual objects could be made from them. ... more
