RETURN OF THE GIANT SLITS Lyrics

slits.jpg

Return of The Giant Slits was the Slits last ever recording. It was released in 1981 by CBS and has, unfortuently, never been re-issued. Which is a shame because this album was a brilliant, but very different sounding, piece of work. The Slits had long ago dropped their raw, teeth grinding punk roots, and inquired a smooth african reggae influenced sound, but never losing their intelligent and introspective lyrics and style. This record also was never released in North America.

Earthbeat
 
Earthbeat
Rain pauses in space
Trippin trippin trippin through a hole in the sky
Trippin trippin trippin trippin through a hole in the sky
 
Even the earth is dizzy
Earthbeats
Even the leaves are wheezing
Earthbeats
Even the clouds are coughing
Earthbeats
 
Sun beats furiously
Creatures basking around
 
Future yobs
Future you're to leave has smog
Yobs yobs
Future you're to leave has smog
 
(chorus)
 
Burning energy illicitly
Lightbulbs flickering
 
Bhangai lei
Strech steeply
Bhangai lei
Strech steeply
 
(chorus)

OR WHAT IT IS

Love never ever comes if you expect it
Love even dies if you respect it
When you're in a hectic exit hetic exit hetic
But waiting, but waiting, but waiting ,but waiting
But wait!
I can't accept it
Today I spoke to the man of my dreams
Like in fairytales and fantasies
I must be living in the films
I doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, doesn't
And then not that it seems
There's gonna be someone who can stay here
But I'm so choosey I'll make it clear
And there's a price that comes along
I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up
In this
Saturday alone
 
Am I looking for love?
Which sex is this
Water so cold
Lonliness
What if it is
It's an affair an affair of my head
Cuz if it is
I found someone who I love next

WALKABOUT

This heat is hotter than the sun
These people got no clothes on
They eat in the shade of trees
Because they don't use frozen peas
Will you stomp out their fire?
So that they freeze
Will you stomp out their fire?
So that they freeze
I don't mind this party
Blood is my desire
Blood is my desire
And we won't have to talk walking about

L'assiettes and water
Brought to you by the people
Of shying culture
They're careful what they say
And cannot we touch
Outside the windows the air is spewing up
Outside the windows the air is spewing up
Outside the windows the air is spewing up
I don't mind this party
Blood is my desire
Blood is my desire
And we won't have to talk walking about

This heat is hotter than sun
These people got no clothes on
They eat in the shade of trees
Because they don't use frozen peas
Will you stomp out their fire?
So that they freeze
Will you stomp out their fire?
So that they freeze

ANIMAL SPACE

Intrusion on personal space
Unlike an animal I jump away
Respect the imaginary circle I draw
Feel it, can you see a false space enhancing?
Instinct dances, instinct dances
Charging forward, clumsy akward
Scratching the air that guards my territory
Skin shrinks on overlapping spaces
Tempers flare at presumptious faces
Tempers flare at insistant faces
