Additional Information
Unknown to the general public, that still believes there was only 1 Vinyl pressing of Machina II + EP’s & the possibility to download the songs from several sources on the internet: there are also 2 CD pressings, 1 in the US and 1 in the UK. Both are extremely rare to get, as they were never sent out to any media, and the amount pressed are very low too: approximately less than 10 for the US set (presented here), and maybe a few dozen for the UK set.

Machina II / The Friends And Enemies Of Modern Music
- 1 . If There Is A God
Lyrics
If there is a god
I know he likes to rock
He likes his loud guitars
His spiders from mars
And if there is a god
I know she's watching me
She says she likes what she sees
But there's trouble on the breeze
Who are you this time?
Are you one of us, flying blind
Cause I'm down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home
And if there is a god
I know they're on tv
The spies with bedroom eyes
That cower in our skies
Who are you this time? are you one of us, flying blind
Cause I'm down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home
- 2 . Try, Try, Try
Lyrics
(Billy: ok)
(James: nice, uh, sound you've got...)
(Jimmy: ready?)
Pop tart, what's the matter?
Did you lose what you're after?
For your tears, I'm still singing
For your fears, I am ringing
From houston on downer buzz
Like you said, it's just because
You'll detonate your long lost kisses
Wished on the eve of forgotten blessings
Start your way for some new impression
Try to hold on
For this heart, a little bit stronger
Try to hold on
To this love alone
Try to hold on
For this heart's never been broken
So try to hold on
Try to hold on
Pop tart, did you flatter?
When they spoke of my disasters
At thirteen I lost my compass
But I'm sure it's all accomplished
As desires on my ghost trains
Like you said, when it rains
It pours down the back of the bitter son
Desperate for love and loves everyone
In my mother's arms no simple harm
Conspires to hold on
For this heart, a little bit closer
Try to hold on
To this love alone
Try to hold on
And we know if we go under
We just can't let go
No, no
Pop tart, will it matter?
If I lose and just shatter
Will you cry, and keep crying
Will I die, and keep dying
In tokyo, with sad tragic blues
Like you said it's how you use
'Cause someday we'll know if this even matters
Our rings and maze and simplicity
When can we laugh and take all the credit
And know we'll go free
With our hearts a little bit stronger
Try to hold on
For this love alone
Try to hold on
For this heart's a little bit frightened
Just try to hold on
Just try to hold on
Just try
(Let's roll back a little bit)
- 3 . Heavy Metal Machine
Lyrics
If I were alive
If I were real
Would you survive
What would you feel, now
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
If I were dead
Would my records sell
Could you ever tell
Or is it just as well
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Could you long to love
Could you want to see
Coming down below
Coming down for me
Will you write my songs
Will you shake the hands
Could you understand
It's not yours to keep
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal
