BC: Thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much. This is another new song called Stand Inside Your Love.
Stand Inside Your Love
Ava Adore
I Am One / Down by the River
(BC midsong: Across the realms of confusion, illusion, contusions, compressions, we figure eight back around through the years to descend down. Tonight tonight tonight, we speak the truth, we are the truth tellers. Aaaaaaaaaaah. We rhyme in poetry where there are no rhymes, we speak the blazes where there are no curses, we are the fire where there is no water, we cut the gut and bleed out the heart forever. That’s right, we are on collision express. Shhhhhh. There you go. Now, we’re gonna take you down, we’re gonna take you down, we’re gonna take you down, down by the river, that’s where I shot my baby, doooown, down. We’re gonna reach way back to another millennium, to another decade, to a land of hopes and dreams, yes! 1991, baby, 1991. Waaaaay back, oooooow! So you may ask yourself right now, what is all this collision about? What is this Ted Nugent parable reaching for? What is in the fishing hook? What is the fish hook seeking? Are we fishing? Are we fishing? Are we fishing? Into the eyes and the mouths we scream, we come inside your ears, we replace your spleen, we are your blood tonight. Long live Ted Nugent. We are the machines. We speak this dream. We are the machines. We speak the machines of gooooood.)

BC: Wait. Sorry, sometimes we don’t get a chance to talk. Did you hear about this? Melissa Etheridge...did you hear about this?
Iha: I just heard about it last night! This is the weirdest, stupidest American thing. It’s just too weird.
BC: You think it’s weird? I think it’s kinda cool.
Iha: You think it’s cool?
BC: My mic’s feeding back. I don’t know.

X.Y.U.

‘cause she was crazy

i wanna break you
i wanna give you up
‘cause i’m your lover
and i’m your motherfuck
come to save you
‘cause you’re all mine!!

do you love me
and do you wanna know
what’s inside my heart
do you wanna know
do you love me
am i good enough
am i your baby
am i enough?!

And i said
i wanna fill you up
i wanna break you
i wanna give you up
i’m your lover
i’m your motherfuck
come and save you
‘cause you’re all mine

come on over to my house
come and see what i got in my cupboard
come on over to my house
let me show you what’s under the covers – ow!

(outro jam begins)

it’s time to creep like the spiders
it’s time to creep like the spiders
and let us crawl up inside you
creepy crawl creepy crawl creepy crawl creepy crawl creepy crawl creepy crawl
rock on

i am made of crooked teeth
every part of me is crooked, see?
be careful if you look into my eyes
for the mirrors you see, it’s you that you despise
creepy crawl creepy crawl creepy crawl creepy crawl creepy crawl down down down down down down fashion
talk about fashion
doo doo down
fame fame fame fame fame fame fame fame fame fame fame fame fame fame fame
creepy crawl

Iha: I was just--
BC: Let’s get a little lead guitar going.

Crowd: We want more!

BC: That’s it. You got it? Ready, Jack? Ready, Phil? Ready, Tammy?
We Love You
we’re gonna reach up
we’re gonna kiss the sky
we’re gonna make love to everyone
we’re gonna make you cry
for this song has no words
for this song has no meaning
just get onboard, heh
and let your soul be clean

we love you
we love you
we love you
that’s right, we love you

l-o-v-e, liebe

into the night we roam
we seek inside every catacomb
we split the surreal child mind
and we throw the eggshell pieces back
we call upon jim morrison and bob dylan and jimi hendrix and tony iommi
to cast down some riffs to let us rock you

‘cause we love you
‘cause we love you
we love you
we love you
we love you
we love you
we love you
(screams)
we love you
ha, we love you
we love you
ah, we love you

(band peters out)

BC: Alright. I’m gonna take it from way down and I’m gonna reach it up one more time. We asked you to put your hands up in the air, wave ‘em around like you just don’t care. Now...do the words translate? “We love you”? Yes? Can you feel the love? I can’t hear that. Can you feel the love? Heh heh heh. Everybody’s gotta put their hands up in the air. Come on, don’t be shy. It’s a new millennium, we’re gonna let loose, that’s right. Okay, now, I need to ask you this question: Do you love us? We love you, do you love us? Okay, everyone’s gotta sing along.

we love you
do you love us?
we love you
do you love us?
we love you
do you love us?
we love you
do you love us?

we love you
we love you

Make it stop, make it stop!! (screams)

(song ends)

BC: Haha. We tried, god bless you.
