STAR DANCER vs. CAR CANCER

There’s semen on the wheel
that turns this town around
the city that’s ready to make a deal
when the suitors come around

They say it’s no fault of the car cult
that we look like dancers down from Mars
that worma can’t breathe under asphalt
or use sunrooves to see the stars

but Who are you ,they say
just a bird blown before the storm
but you’re not of our feather, they say
so respectfully I will warn

there’s a tumor in the wheel
that turns this town around
the city that’s ready to make a deal
when the suitors come around

BABY JESUS

Ma Johnson does the laundry 
on her front yard porch
Mrs Harris cuts the roses
while her husband mowes the lawn
and it’s feeling like my day has just begun

I’m standing on the sidewalk,
will they understand?
when I’m smilimg at their faces
with her picture in my hand
yes,I want them all to see that she loves me     
will it show that I’m the one who set her free?

Dad Morgan’s in the driveway
tuning up his car
Miss Perkins has a shovel,
and it’s getting quite bizzare
and I hope she doesn’t dig too deep today
well,I know soon they’ll find her anyway....

NOTE:

These songs ,along with two songs by Trondheim pop combo 3 Små
Kinesere, were released on Harmonien rec. as a benefit sampler for the
people who live in the part of Tr.H. called Svart La’mon ,or by some:
Reina. Thing is- The lokal car-dealer wants to tear the approx 15
houses on the premesis down in order to enlarge his garages. La’mon
has for years been the local freak-zone ,with mostly 20-something
artists,musicians and other scum, and it seem like the city’s pleased
as punch with the development. Right now (sept 97) the situation is
stalemate,but there is something in the air.. if you need more info on
the whole thing,visit the web-site: http://home.sn.no/~mdg/strandvn.html
(or some such-I never get these things to work............). Star
Dancer is also available on a Bosnian benefit sampler called Beat Up
Bosnia.
