Additional Information
The 1979 promo has a 2 page booklet with Korean writing, most likely about the band. As this text is dated 96. 7. 17., it is reasonable to believe that this promo was released in August of 1996. The CD is quite differently colored than the commercial release. Liner notes say “Passed Censorship by K.E.C.P.P.”.

Lyrics
Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire
Right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we’d never see an end to it all
And I don’t even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don’t know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They’re not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin’ dues
Down to see
That we don’t even care
As restless as we are
We feel the pull
In the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement
Lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we’d go
Beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don’t even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don’t know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now (written: sound)
As you can see there’s no one around - 2 . Ugly

Additional Info: "Started as an album song until the very last moment, when Mellon Collies was cut from 31 to 28 songs, this is an interesting interpretation of what had essentially been an acoustic song. Flood and I tried about four different versions before settling on this one [see Queen's Hot Space album]. One version that I liked was just me and a distorted guitar. But in the end this version won, only to be mixed into eternal obscurity as a B-side." -BC (Guitar World 1/97)
Lyrics
I don’t look in the mirror
I don’t like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I’ll never see what you see
It’s not me
So beautiful and free
I’ll never be what you need
I can’t help it at all
I was born so beautiful
But now I’m ugly
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I’m nothing
I know there’s nothing I can say
To change
The judgement in their ways
I’ll never be what you need
I can’t help it at all
My love was so beautiful
But now I’m ugly
Yeah…
I’m good enough, but I don’t care
I’m good enough, but I’m not there
I’m good enough, but I don’t care
The sun is out, but I’m not there
(I can go anywhere) I’m good enough, but I don’t care (…somewhere)
(I can go anywhere) The sun is out, but I’m not there (…somewhere)
(I can go anywhere) I’m good enough (…somewhere)
(I can go anywhere) I’m good enough (…somewhere)
I don’t look in the mirror
I don’t like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I’ll never see what you see
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I’m nothing
Because I’m ugly

Lyrics
I can’t stop, I can’t breathe, I can’t think
I’m in love again
I don’t need, I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
I’m in love again
Ooh, and every time I heard you breathe
Well I sighed
Ooh, and every time I saw you bleed
Well I cried
Love is like a song
And if you sing
If you ever need me
I’ll be there in a while
I can’t stop, I can’t breathe, I can’t think
I’m in love again
I don’t need, I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
I’m in love again
Ooh, and everytime that I’m with you
I’m alive
Ooh, and everytime I think of you
There’s a light
And I felt it, too
In my heart is a spring
Is a well, if you need
If you drink, if you heal
If you believe in
Every little part of me is a part of you
I can’t stop, I can’t breathe, I can’t think
I’m in love again
I don’t need, I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
I’m in love again
I can’t stop, I can’t breathe, I can’t think
I’m in love again
I don’t need, I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
I’m in love again
The boy, the boy’s in love
The boy, the boy’s in love
The boy, the boy’s in love
The boy, the boy’s in love

Lyrics
(Listen- Wanna just start it?…Ready, Flood?
Yeah……1,2,3,4)
Stay with me, I’ll set you free
‘Cause I can tell you once were pretty
Rose so sad you’ve lost your petals
Lost the luster off your tattle tales
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I can not betray
I need a word to say what I can’t say
I need a lover, lover
I need a lover, lover
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
Time has lost its hold on me
Hatred sleeps inside my bones
In the stillness of cool air
All the boys have been left for dead
‘Cause we go where they fear to tread
The beautiful one’s the one’s we’ll remember
The precious one’s our greatest pretenders
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I cannot betray
I need a word to say what I can’t say
I need a lover, lover
I need a lover, lover
And if you lose yourself
Could you take me, too?
Could you rest inside the sleep?
Stay with me, I’ll set you free from you…..
Stay with me, I’ll set you free from you…..
Stay with me, I’ll set you free from you…..
Stay with me, I’ll set you free from you…..
I need a love….. - 5 . Believe
Lyrics
Close your eyes
Until the sunlight dies
In your head a thousand stars
Through the darkness you can see a light
And if they steal your life
Your heart is still mine
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you, dear
On Sunday…
There’s a life I hide
Well I tried to disguise
And I can take you a million miles away
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you, dear
On Sunday I made amends
For all my mistakes
May God speed be with you
Oooh…oooh…oooh…oooh
And I…
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, (soft) you sing, a truth, a lover
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there’s no other
I want to believe in you, dear
Sunday
Sunday
I want to make amends
For all my mistakes
May God speed be with you - 6 . Set The Ray To Jerry
Lyrics
Born to please, every simple need
I stand alone in my thoughts indeed
Hate you
For ever making me
I’m in you, I’m your anything
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you
Come to me, let me hold you still
I’m so tired, just as tired as you
Take me for anyone but me
All that you feel is never true
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you
When you say that you are
Forever my star
Could never let you go, no, no
And never let you know
Let roar these fears
To the whore of my tears
Pure as a lie, I pour to your eyes
Suck you like the sap from a tree
Honey from the dew, from the bumblebees, yeah yeah
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you
When you say that you are
Forever my star
Could never let you go, no, no
Never let you know
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you
