Notes From The Artist
Easily the most sought after fan collectable, only 5,000 copies of Lo-Fi B-Sides were ever made and could only be found attached to copies of Underdogs as a special bonus feature. Taken from the demo sessions for Beautiful Midnight, it contains the demo version of Born To Kill, the acoustic rarity Fated, and the band’s only recorded cover, Depeche Mode’s Enjoy The Silence.
Track Listing:
- 1. Born to Kill
There’s a big beat
You’re spinning in my tv
A magician
The antidote
So I’m with him
Floating, loaded
Enough to be released
It’s more than the less you say you do
It’s more than the shot that gets you through
Born to buy into something
Born to kill
There’s a big beat
You’re sleeping in my memory
Like Satan
Lonely
So I’m with him
Floating, loaded
Enough to be released
It’s more than the less you say you do
It’s more than the shot that gets you though
Born to buy into something
Born to kill
- 2. Enjoy the Silence**
- 3. Fated
There’s a spaceman in my basement
There’s an IV keeping time beside my bed
And a painting of Jesus wandering for a dartboard
You know he’s seen you naked a million times
I long to be dead
And sleep with the fishes under the sea
They can swim through my head
And stop all the traffic jams
And there’ll be no light tonight if I’m fated
There’s a cartoon killer in my living room
Cut you open like candy and pull out your little wound
Like tv dinners for the third world, amputee dancing girls
You try but you fail cause you’re bad at life and good in a vacuum
I long to be dead
And sleep with the fishes under the sea
They can swim through my head
And stop all the traffic jams
And there’ll be no light tonight
If I’m fated
