The Everlasting Gaze
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
The Sacred and Profane
Glass and the Ghost Children / Le Deux Machina
(BC spoken word before outro: And every time she turned around, she saw her father’s face in the little boy’s wafting gaze. The memories of times past, things wished for, long since forgotten on the Jersey shores of meaning and knowing everything was okay. Now we know that we know where we are and we just start to sway in time. (singing) As she counted the spiders...)
> Cherub Rock
Zero
> Rock On (partial)
(BC after Iha intro: Thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much. Merci beaucoup. Merci beaucoup. My name is Frenchie, I will be your host tonight. Right about now, we’re gonna kick it down for a second, let you catch your breath in the moshpit of life. How all you people back there doin’, how you doin’? Yes, you. Hahaha. It’s okay, you can stand up for a second, no one will hurt you. There you go. (singing) Hey kids, rock and roll, rock on, lose my soul, hey kids, it’s no use, dreamin’. Lost town summertime blues, jump up and down in your blue suede shoes, hey kid, rock and roll, we’re gonna rock on. (speaking) We’re gonna rock on. This is my friend Pierre. Pierre has drunk a lot of red wine, he’s feelin’ fine. He just put some cat to bed and he wants to play some lead guitar for you. (Iha solos for a moment) Je’taime Pierre....je’taime. (singing) Where do we go from here?...)
