"The Way I See It, Barry"
[Spider:] The way I see it, Barry, this should be a very dynamite show.
"Bit Of Nostalgia"
[includes a fragment of Hurricane (Sigarlaki)]
[Spider:] Bit of nostalgia for the old folks!
[Gilly:] I'm advocating dark clothes
[Girl #1:] If I'm not alone . . . How long have I been asleep?
[Gilly:] As long as I have
[Girl #2:] Did you ever live in a drum?
[Girl #1:] No
[Girl #2:] Well then you aren't me
[Gilly:] I only dreamt I lived in a drum. Ever since it got dark. Dreaming is hard
[Girl #1:] Yea, but with nothing over your head?
[Gilly:] No, just light, over my head. And underneath too
[Girl #1:] I don't think I could take it without anything over my head
[Girl #2:] Mm-mmh, I couldn't either
[Girl #1:] Well why don't you go out and see what's out there?
[Gilly:] Well . . . I don't know if that's what's out there
[Girl #2:] Now that's a thought
[Gilly:] Yes . . .
[Girl #2:] If you'd like . . .
[Gilly:] But still you can say darker and darker. I don't know what the outside of this thing looks like at all
[John:] I do. It's dark and murky
[Spider:] How do you get your . . . your water so dark?
[John:] 'Cause I'm paranoid. I'm very paranoid. And the water in my washing machine turns dark out of sympathy
[Spider:] Out of sympathy?
[John:] Yes
[Spider:] Um . . . where can I get that?
[John:] At your local drugstore
[Spider:] How much?
"It's From Kansas"
[John:] It's from Kansas
"Bored Out 90 Over"
[Motorhead:] Bored out .90 over with 3 Stromberg 97's
"Almost Chinese"
[Larry:] Almost Chinese, huh?
[Girl #1:] Yeah!
[Motorhead:] Good bread, 'cause I was making, uh . . . $2.71 an hour
"Switching Girls"
[Motorhead:]
I keep switching girls all the time, because if I'm able to find a girl with really a groovy car that ain't build up, man, I'll go steady with her for a while until I'd build up her car and blow out the engine!
"At The Gas Station"
[includes last part of Oh No]
[Motorhead:] I worked in a cheesy newspaper company for a while but that was terrible, I wasn't making enough money to build anything
(LOUIE LOUIE)
[Motorhead:] And then I worked in a printing company and a coupla gas stations. Oh, at the gas station where I was working my brother just got married, and uh . . . he bought a new car and his wife was having a kid and all this miserable stuff, and he needed a job so I gave him a job at the gas station of which I was fired because, you know, he was gonna work there. And he had his car on the rack and he was lubing and changing tires and everything all the time. And so they got fired because he was goofing off, man, and he just kept taking parts and working on his car day and night. And so he lost that job and he went to work in another gas station. He took that one, you know, so he could feed the kids and that. And I went to work in an aircraft company, and uh . . . I was building these planes. I worked on the XB-70, I was the last welder on there. Yeah but, it was pretty good bread because I was making, uh . . . $2.71 an hour. I was making a hundred and a quarter a week, and uh . . . yeah, it was good enough money to be working on, so I got an Oldsmobile, a groovy Olds. But I was going with this chick at that time. By the time I got the Olds running decently, she went out and tore up the engine, and the trans, and a-her and a girlfriend they get in there and booze it up and tear up the seats. Just ripped the seats completely out. So uh . . . when, I got a '56 Olds, which was this one chick's I was going with, and uh . . . we used to drive out all over the place and finally she got rid of that, and uh . . . I got another pickup!

"I Don't Know If I Can (Go Through This Again)"
Oh man, I don't know if I can go through this again!
"Very Distraughtening"
[includes a fragment of Ronnie Sings? and a quote from Merry-Go-Round (Fischer)]
[Ronnie Williams:] Ba-bah-bahdily
[Spider:] Oh!
[John:] That one again.
[Spider:] It's a little pig . . . with wings
[Pig With Wings:] EE . . .
[Gross Man:] I hear you've been having trouble with pigs and ponies!
[Left channel:]
[Calvin:] To . . . just the opposite . . . going around to the other direction
[Right channel:]
[Calvin:] How 'bout us, don't we get any?
[Gail:] We don't get any . . .
[Calvin:] That's very distraughtening
[Gail:] We don't get any because we're otherwise
[Spider:] Everything in the universe is . . . is . . . is made of one element, which is a note, a single note. Atoms are really vibrations, you know, which are extensions of THE BIG NOTE, everything's one note. Everything, even the ponies. The note, however, is the ultimate power, but see, the pigs don't know that, the ponies don't know that.
[Monica:] You mean just we know that?
[Spider:] Right!
[Spider:] "Merry Go Round! Merry Go Round! Do-Do-Do-Do Do-Do-Do Do-Do-Do!" and they called that "doing their thing."
[John:] Oh yeah, that's what doing your thing is!
[Spider:] The thing is to put a motor in yourself.

"White Ugliness"
[Louis:] Grrr . . . Arf arf arf ar-ar-ar-ar-ar! Teeth out there, and ready to attack 'em. . . I had to fight back and hit 'em, like . . . you know . . . hit 'em and hit 'em and hit 'em, and . . . kick 'em and kick 'em and . . .
[Roy:] Did they get on top of you?
[Louis:] No, I fought so back, hard back, and, it was . . .
[Roy:] Hard back?
[Louis:] White!
[Roy:] White?
[Louis:] Yeah, white ugliness
[Roy:] Did it have teeth?
[Louis:] And it was two, it was two boogey-men along the side of, we were . . . already blocked in, so I had to . . . I had to kick, I had to fight to f-four or five boogey-men in front of me . . .
[Roy:] Then . . . but maybe he can turn into . . . I wonder if he could maybe be [?]
[Motorhead:] PFFFT!
[Louis:] Yes, [?] vicious

[Roy:] Was it white? Are you sure it wasn't w-white, I mean, uh, black, or . . .
[Louis:] Well, I think they're white, but I was too scared to notice their physical . . .
[Roy:] Gold or something?
[Louis:] I was too, I was too scared to no . . . n-no . . . uh-no . . . uh-notice their physical, ahh . . . appearance, 'cause they . . . they-they were attackin' me!
[Roy:] They were?
[Louis:] Yeah, they were . . . they were attackin' me!
[Roy:] What were they doin' to you?
[Louis:] Well, they were . . . they were like, they were . . . comin' and surroundin' me 'n everything else, and they were attackin' me and I had to fight back, fight, fight and fight back and . . . pick up sticks . . .
[Roy:] Pick-up-sticks?
[Louis:] Yes, pick up sticks, you know?
[Roy:] I used to play that game, Pick-up-sticks
[Louis:] Me too, did you ever play that game?
[Roy:] Yeah!
[Louis:] Yes! That's funny! HA HA HA!
Anyway, come back to the horse . . . back to the horse? To the pony
[Louis:] HA HA HA HA! Now . . .
[Roy:] Anyway . . .
[Louis:] Yes, pony, or . . .
[Roy:] President . . .
[Louis:] Or pope, I dunno, ah, I dunno . . .
[Roy:] I don't know . . .
[Louis:] Something down there is dangerous.
[Roy:] Could be a cigar or somethin'
[Louis:] Yeah . . .
[Roy:] A cigar?
[Louis:] A cigar? Naw, you're insane, come on!
[Roy:] Nohhh, no . . . I remember when I was a . . . no I don't remember. Those were the days!
[Louis:] Boy, you must spend all your life down here!
[Roy:] That was before the days of those horses
[Louis:] Yes, before the days of the . . . all the . . . ow-uh . . . ponies or boogey-men or somethin', what's out there
[Roy:] But then there was a . . . what was it there? No pimples?
[Louis:] No, positive
[Roy:] Sure!
[Louis:] Positively
[Roy:] You had to have 'em.
[Louis:] Naw, naw . . .
[Roy:] You've got one right in your nose right now!
[Louis:] HA HA HA HA! Scrtch-ch-ch! Scratchin' them . . .
[Roy:] Boy, I'm gettin' tired, man. We should go . . .
[Louis:] Oh, yes . . .
[Roy:] We should go to sleep
[Louis:] Oh, yeah . . .
[Roy:] I just hope he comes back . . .
[Louis:] Yes . . . Listen!
[Roy:] I think I'll pray for him
[Louis:] I think I'll join you
[Roy:] You do yours and I'll do mine . . .
[Louis:] Okay . . . HA HA HA HA!
[Roy:] And we'll hope for the best. HEH HEH HEH!
[Louis:] HA HA HA HA HA! God, God bless Motorhead
[Roy:] Now I lay me down to sleep . . .
"Amen"
[Roy:] Amen!
[Louis:] Amen . . .
"Just One More Time"
[Don Vliet:]
Oh yeah!
That's just fine!
Come on boys!
Just one more time!
[Spider:] I think I can explain about . . . about how the pigs' music works
[Monica:] Well, this should be interesting
[Spider:] Remember that they make music with a very dense light, and remember about the smoke standing still and how they . . . they really get uptight when you try to move the smoke, right?
[Monica:] Right
[John:] Yeah?
[Spider:] I think the music in that dense light is probably what makes the smoke stand still. Any sort of motion has this effect on . . . on the ponies' manes. You know, the thing on their neck
[John:] Hmm . . .
[Spider:] As soon as the pony's mane starts to get good in the back any sort of mo . . . motion, especially of smoke or gas, begins to make the ends split.
[John:] That's the basis of all their nationalism. Like if they can't salute the smoke every morning when they get up . . .
[Spider:] Yeah, it's a vicious circle. You got it.

"A Vicious Circle"
Pony!
"Drums Are Too Noisy"
[Larry:] Drums are too noisy, 'n you've got no corners to hide in!
[John:] So when she's beating him over the nose with a tire iron. and then we both jump away and disappear, and the pig will turn around and there'll be this pony

"Kangaroos"
[Spider:] Oh no, man . . .
[Monica:] Oh . . .
[Spider & Monica:] Kangaroos!
[Monica:] And then they eat it when they get home
[John:] If it's still alive
[Spider:] Envelops the bath tub
"Envelops The Bath Tub"
[Calvin:] 'Cause round things are . . . are boring . . . hhh . . .
