PEEL SESSIONS Lyrics

slits.jpg

The Peel Sessions were recorded in 1977 but were not released until 1989 on Strange Fruit records. This is a small collection of the Slits earlier, punkier days, with a few tracks (Difficult Fun, In The Beginning, Earthbeat/Wedding Song) added from their smooth dub era. This album is recommended to anyone who is just introducing themselves to the band.

LOVE AND ROMANCE

I'm so happy
You're so nice
Kiss kiss kiss

Oh oh oh sweet love and romance

Want you with me all the time
You promised angel that you're mine
Love's a feeling and so is stealing
Give 'em a great big kiss

So tough
What a cunt he's getting weak
So tough
Don't start playing hide and seek
So hard
Why do you think he got like that
So hard
Don't think about it much he's just a runt

You had fun experinace
Nothing he does ever makes sense
Sid is only curious
John don't take it serious

So strong
They say you're acting like a star
So strong
They say not everything's wonderbar
Too long
You want money girls urgently
Too long
Too much too soon you wait and see

You had fun experiance
Nothing he does every makes sense
Sid is only curious
John don't take it serious

Too much
You hang around her cuz she's a good fuck
Too much
Needle marks and shooting up
Too fast
They wanna stop you having kicks
Slow down
Don't fuck things up by getting sick

You had fun experiance
Nothing he does ever makes sense
Sid is only curious
John don't take it serious

So tough
What a cunt he's getting weak
So tough
Don't start playing hide and seek
So hard
Why do you think he got like that
So hard
Don't think about it much cuz he's just a runt

You had fun experiance
Nothing he does ever makes sense
Sid is only curious
John don't take it serious

INSTANT HIT

He is a boy

Too good to be true

FM

I live in a town with a hundred lights around
My head is like a radio set
I'm waiting to hear what program is next

(chorus)
Frequent mutilation
Transmits over the air
Serving for the purpose
Of those who want you to fear

They say it's all right
But suspician creeps in
My nightmares don't project my dreams

(chorus)

Thousand nights of confusion wedged in my mind
I'm breaking down another illusion
Today's transmission will give me the solution

(chorus)


DIFFICULT FUN

He's lying by the river
He's rested and unsatisfied
He's searching for the better but finds that

Difficult fun is hard to come by
Difficult fun is hard to come by
And empty fun is easy
And empty fun is easy to find

Fun is not easy

He's lying around the gloam
He's rested and unsatisfied
Leaving a trail behind him
Fighting better on habits

Difficult fun is hard to come by
Difficult fun is hard to come by
And empty fun is easy
And empty fun is easy to find

Fun is not easy to find
 
Pleasure seeking
Pleasure seeking
Is easy

IN THE BEGININNING

In the begininning there was rhythem!
Is god is space is earth is climbing is trying is sounds is patterns is animals is true is patterns is fucking
Is rhythem!
God tells you there is rhythem
God tells you about who to blame
God tells you there is wisdom
God tells you about eternal life
World rhythem life rhythem
Heartbeat is the beat
And body rhythem is rhythem
Is a pattern that you watch to keep your rhythem on
What you keep your music on
Fucking rhythem create rhythem
Earth circle circling
And life pattern is the button
Is rythem or where our thighs come from
Where jewlery and our shoes come from
It's the beat is time is pattern is strength is rhythem
And silence!
Silence is a rhythem too
And god is made of rhythem
But you can't see it
Mind you can't see God
But you can see rhythem all over
As such you can hear it
And maybe we can even see God
And just didn't know it
Look! Where you'll find God
Because wouldn't you know God is rhythem
The only way to know God is rhythem
The only way to know God is rhythem
Life pattern is his face
Rhythem falls on which
Rhythem objects rhythem
On the way we right and casually step in time
And step to the steps of the person we're stepping with
The rhythem we're stepping with
The rhythem of it comes from trees from water
From the air makes us create our own rhythem
Basic your natural rhythem
That's when people are by themselves
Walking is a rhythem that hypnotizes you
And bobbing your head in time with the rhythem
Light head manipulate
Do it and off beat
And as soon as you sit you start tapping you feet
In beat on the bus
And by yourself on the bus stop
In beat with the train
And even more on underground station
Silence!
Silence is a rhythem too
You see it
Rhythem never stops
Rhythem goes on
And what happens after that
Well rhythem goes on living whilst we are now dying
Someone without rhythem is someone without juice
Rhythem is the juice of life
Rhythem is the juice of life
You lose rhythem and you lose juice
You lose juice and you lose rhythem
You see?
Rhythem does exist
Rhythem is just a form of God
And comes to those who know
Where rhythem keeps on living whislt
The others sleep with death
In the begininning there was rhythem
Silence!
Silence is a rhythem too
God appears in many forms an one of them is rhythem
If you got wisdom then you will choose to know God is wisdom
Then chose to get right then you are chosen to be true
To chose God's gift
Wisdom is true that you will
Never never never lose rhythem
It's true that you will
Never never never never never lose rhythem
God tells you I am rhythem
God tells you I'm to blame
God tells you I am wisdom
God tells you live eternal life
Rhythem is wisdom is truth is God is eternal life
Take rhythem live it out live it out live it out
God tells you you live a rhythem
God tells you you are living a rule
God tells you live in wisdom
And you will live eternal life
Seasons and the weather and the climate is rhythem
You hear it and you see it and you hear it
In rhythem
East and west and north and south
And all directions rhythem
Nature pattern that's natural rhythem
So is material rhythem naturally is rhythem
Chemicals cars machines taxi rhythem
Made by man kind
But man comes from nature
Like nature comes from man
But then there's disease and rape and medicine
And government hate again and again and again
Because chemical like natural factories cars machines
Taxi rhythem
So is material naturally is rhythem
And corporate nature is a monster alone
Corporate nature is a monster alone
In the begininning there was rhythem
Is god is space is earth is climbing is trying is sounds
Is plants is animals is patterns is fucking
Is rhythem God
Silence!
Silence is a rhythem too



EARTHBEAT/WEDDING SONG

Earthbeat it pauses in space
Trippin' trippin' trippin' through a holy sky
Trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin' through a holy sky
Even the air is dizzy earthbeat
Even the leaves are wheezing earthbeat
Even the clouds are coughing earthbeat
Sun beats furiously
Creatures basking around

Future yobs
Future you're to leave is small
Yobs yobs
Future you're to leave is small

Even the earth is dizzy earthbeat
Even the leaves are wheezing
Even the clouds are coughing
Earthbeat earthbeat
Burning energy illicitly
Lightbulbs flickering

Bhanya lei
It'll strech steeply
Bhanya lei
It'll strech steeply

Even the earth is dizzy
Even the clouds are coughing
Even the leaves are wheezing

Even the earth is dizzy earthbeat
Even the leaves are wheezing
Even the clouds are coughing

Earthbeats earthbeats earthbeats earthbeats
Earthbeats earthbeats earthbeats earthbeats

Even the earth is dizzy
Even the leaves are wheezing
Even the clouds are coughing

Earthbeats earthbeats earthbeats earthbeats...
