Tonight, Tonight
The Crying Tree of Mercury
Ava Adore
Age of Innocence
I Am One
(BC midsong: Across the ages, we speak, dying breath and not a reach. We reach for more than we have. Two mobile chords and too loud guitar. We reach for more than we haaaaaaaaave. We speak the dream. We are the screams forever, forever, forever. On Norse gods we ride across the waves, across the tides. Into the ethers, we speak this dream, we laugh for forgiveness. For the trespasses we incur in the name of rock and roll. Rock and rollllllll. Shhhhhh. Into your ears we creep...at night when you sleep. Like a bedbug going home. We must drill inside this chrome dome. Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo. Yes! We are with you when you’re sleeping. We know when you’ve been good and we especially know when you’ve been bad. Into the [unintelligible word] we [unintelligible word]. And to the earthly sin. The gates drawn heavy chariots by. We invoke the name of Jim Morrison, ow! What would Jim do? We are the dream. We speak the spleen. We are the mean machines. We are the machines of god.)
Glass and the Ghost Children
Rock On
Zero
BC: Thank you. I’m sorry, I don’t speak any Swedish, uh.... I got that weird, uh, only in Europe flu. Now I’m sick...in the head too, but uh.... Anyway, to make a long story short, I don't know how many more songs I can do, my throat is kaputsky. I don't know if that translates.
Iha: I think they got the kaputsky. How's everybody doing? Is everybody okay? This is our first show of our big Europe tour and we’re uh, we're a little rusty, but uh, we're glad you're here. We'll see how much longer we can rock out with his voice. We appreciate.
BC: None of that translated, you know?
Iha: They understand.
BC: Alright, we'll do one more here. This is called I of the Mourning.
I of the Mourning
BC: Thank you, thank you, goodnight.
[encore break, backing track for 1979 plays briefly at one point]
Iha: Thanks, thanks a lot. As you might have heard from Ed's miscue...do any of you wanna dance? Heh heh. I like dancing but I gotta play guitar. So uh, I don't know. How many, is there a national Swedish dance? No, okay. I got that. Well, whatever dancing catches your fancy as they say, we ask you to dance at will on this next song, which is an old song - an old song from one of our old albums. Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin on the six string acoustic. Also, I would like to introduce on the bass (pronounced like the fish) guitar, Miss Melissa Auf der Maur. Doing a fine job on the rock bass.
BC: These stools are dangerous.
Iha: These are really weird stools. They’re Swedish? What else is weird in Sweden?
1979 (acoustic, Jimmy plays guitar)
BC: Thank you. God bless you, we love you, thank you.
[encore break]
X.Y.U.
she didn’t wanna be
she didn’t wanna know
she gave it all away
‘cause she was crazy
and i said
i wanna fill you up
i wanna break you
i wanna give you up
‘cause i’m your lover
‘cause i’m your motherfuck
come to save you
‘cause you’re all mine!

are you my baby?
do you love me?
are you my baby?
do you wanna feed me?
do you wanna give me what i want?
do you wanna give me what i want?
you’re gonna give me what i want
you’re gonna give me what i want!!
(screams)
pow
i’m your motherfucker

this way to heaven
this way to heaven
all the little girls gonna go to heaven
come with me
this is more than a thrill
come with me
(screams)

(outro jam begins)

this is the way we creep like spiders
‘cause in the land i live in, there is no sun
the sun comes up about this high for about 20 minutes and then it goes back away
that’s the world i live in
we’re gonna take you down
down
down
down so low
(screams)
we’re gonna go down to where the pretty girls hang out
hey you, sweet 17, check out my new spider tattoo
there’s a couple of things i wanna tell you
number one: my name is jack
number two: i got a spider tattoo
number three: i’m in charge and i’m large
and number four: there are no rules
those are the rules
creepy crawl
shhh, where you goin’?
(band plays quietly)
now, we’re gonna put our hands up in the air right here
we’re gonna reach up to the heavens
we’re gonna feel that dark blues voodoo power coming up through our feet and shooting out the tops of our fingertips
‘cause in this world, the soul burns from within
and the energy flows out
out this way
we’re gonna push it up
we’re gonna reach so high
there you go
okay, now, you’re gonna feel this burning in your stomach
you’re gonna feel it burn in your stomach
it’s gonna be unpleasant
but we’re gonna take it right from here
from the bottom of our stomach
now I will show by example
so let me breathe
we’re gonna take this gut right here and we’re gonna go "(long growled scream)"
now can you do that?
can you do that, y’all?
we got the blues, here we go
ready?
you gotta do it with me
from your feet
ready? here we go, shhh
(long growled scream)
there you go

(instrumental until end)

BC: Alright. Now, everybody always wants a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more, we always want a little bit more, we want a little bit more, we know you want a little bit more, we’re just gonna get a little, little bit more, right here, we’re gonna win, right on.
We Love You
BC: Uhhhh....we’re gonna we’re gonna we’re gonna we’re gonna...

everybody wants some more
everybody wants some piece of the action
everybody wants some more
everybody wants some moooore!

we love you (x4)

i gotta head full of [unintelligible word]
i gotta fist full of tears
i got eyes that shoot lasers
through the years
i’m one thousand years old
my birthday is today
do you hear what I want?
do you hear what I say?

we love you (x5)

(growls)
(coughs)

BC: Alright, shhh, this is the final verse. (band plays quietly) This is the final verse to our song with no words. You say, how can there be such a thing, a song with no words? Well, you’re watching it right here. You just reach up and you grab ‘em and then you throw ‘em like this (makes a noise).

i know no question
i know every lie
i am the answer
you despise
can you see me
a mirror held
we’re gonna go down
to the depths of hell
we’re gonna reach on down
we’re gonna pull it up
we’re gonna make this count
in thy name of love
l-o-v-e
that’s what I say
l-o-v-e
that’s all I’ll [unintelligible word]!

we love you (x4)

we love you (12x in rapid succession)
to the point of....

(song ends)

BC: God bless you, god bless you, we love you, thank you.
