Bury Me
> Rocket
Iha: Santa Barbara!! You’re, you’re, you have too much energy, you’re just killing me.
BC: Hey, um, all you peoples up there, hey. Sorry you can't come down here...(laughing) like these people. You're not having a good time anyway, right? Alright, yes, they're not having any fun anyway. So um, it's nice to be here, wherever we are, Santa Barbara. Heh heh. Just the very mention of Santa Barbara causes dissension. Boo.

I Am One
(BC midsong: And all I ever wanted to do was leave the suburbs. And all I ever wanted to do was leave town. And all I ever wanted to do was go somewhere where there was nobody, yeah. And all I ever wanted was everything. And all I ever got back was nothing. Woo, woo. Well, what you want is what you'll get, what you want is what you'll get, what you want is what you'll get, what you want is what you'll get. Of this negative attitude, I am positive! So cry me a river. Cry me a fountain of dreams. Cry me a river, yeah. And nothing can be taken from me that hasn't already been taken, nothing can be taken from me that hasn't already been taken, nothing can be taken from me that hasn't already been taken! Yeah. Ah, such a long story. And there's nothing in this world, nothing in this world, nothing in this world, nothing in this world and there's nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!)
BC: (off mic) What, (on mic) what?
Iha: If you're asking about my space helmet, it's my magic power.
Drown
> Hummer
Geek U.S.A.
(BC alt last line: I fuckin’ hate the U.S.A.!)

[encore break]
Iha: Ttttthank you. Hey, you guys were real jerks to Shudder to Think, you should listen next time. Do you even know what I'm talking about, the supporting band, Shudder to Think? You should listen to them next time, they're really good. And now we give you, not a rose, but...uh...
BC: Peppers.
Iha: ...a red –- red pepper rose. Just like Morrissey '84.
