1. Dead Girls Of London

(Shankar/FZ)

FZ—vocals
Ike Willis—vocals
Vicky Blumenthal—chorus

Can you see what they are
Do you hear what they say
People it is sad but true
They dress really stupid but they think they're okay
And they've got no use for you
Oh the Dead Girls of London
Why do they act that way?
Phooey!

Maybe it's the water, mama
Maybe it's the tea
Maybe it's the way they was raised
Maybe it's the stuff what they read in the papers
Keeps 'em lookin' sorta half in a daze
Oh the Dead Girls of London
Why do they act that way?

We're the Dead Girls of London
We think we are fine
We ain't hittin' on nothin'
But the boutique frame of mind

You see 'em dancin' at the Disco
Every night like a bunch of little robot queens
Makin' little noises full of fake delights
But they're really just so full of beans
Oh the Dead Girls of London
Why do they act that way?

We're the Dead Girls of London
We think we are fine
We ain't hittin' on nothin'
But the boutique frame of mind

You see 'em dancin' at the Disco
Every night like a bunch of little robot queens
Makin' little noises full of fake delights
But they're really just so full of beans
Oh the Dead Girls of London
Why do they act that way?

We're the Dead Girls of London
We think we are fine
We ain't hittin' on nothin'
But the boutique frame of mind

8. Knee-Deep In Heaters

(Shankar/FZ)

L. Shankar—vocals
Vicky Blumenthal—chorus

I'm asleep
These heaters are deep but they're really cheap
I'm knee-deep in heaters but none the less
I am rather cool
I'm sort of actually freezing too
No, I will be okay
I'm not so sad that I cannot play
Just get me some yogurt and dal
And I will sleep along the wall

La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la

I'm awake
These heaters I'm using are really great
I used to be cold but I'm getting warm
I will be okay
My peacoat helps me look that way
No, I am not a fool
I bet you think that I should not stay
Just get me a bow and a string
And I will play you anything

La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la
