Bonus Track  By  Animal Society

Written by David Bowie Song Length: 3:47
Listen to the Song:
[audio:AS/AS-Changes.mp3]		 2008
Lyrics
I still don’t know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild, a million dead-end streets
And every time I thought I’d got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me but I’ve never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I’m much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes, ch-ch-Changes
Don’t want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes, ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me but I can’t trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes but still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They’re quite aware of what they’re going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes, ch-ch-Changes
Don’t tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes, ch-ch-Changes
Where’s your shame, you’ve left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me but you can’t trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I’m going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes, ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock ‘n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes, ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you’re gonna get a little older
Time may change me but I can’t trace time
I said that time may change me but I can’t trace time

Lyrics
You say that the means fortify the ends
But I refuse to crucify any more friends
You claim that the crow is tolerable with white wine
I choose instead to draw my own imaginary lines

When will we ever feel the sun? When will we ever have some fun?
When will we ever be all but done with our accomplishments?
Fulfilled by mass acknowledgement? Relieved of our embarrassment?
When? When?

You claim the dream solidifies the means
But I reject my assignment to the underground machine
You only run approaching the divine
I choose instead to draw my own imaginary lines

Where is the roadmap to the promised land?
Where is the soft and sympathetic hand?
Where is the hunger for the justice of our own righteousness?
Promotion of our exultance? Adoption of our endorsement?
Where? Where? Where? Where?
Where? Where? Where?

Not One of You

Track 13  On  Not One of You  By  Hormoans

Written by Paul Smith & Hormoans Song Length: 4:11
Listen to the Song:
[audio:Hormoans/13-NotOneOfYou.mp3]		 1981
Lyrics
Look at me, look at me, look at the things I do
I’m not a Druid nor a Christian nor a Buddist nor a Jew.
You may think I’m a devil but you know that isn’t true
You may think that I’m evil but I’m not one of you.

I’m not one of you, I’m not one of you
Don’t try to understand me ‘cause I’m not one of you
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him

I’m not a Baptist nor a Voodoo nor a Sergeant nor a whore.
I don’t study Krishna, I’m not rich but I’m not poor
You may think I’m a devil, you may think that my skin is blue
You may think I’m a monster but I’m not one of you

I’m not one of you, I’m not one of you
Don’t try to understand me ‘cause I’m not one of you
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him

I don’t draw stars and I don’t use blood
You can think that I’m strong, you can think I’m a dud
You can think anything that you want to
But get this in your head – I’m not one of you

I’m not one of you, I’m not one of you
Don’t try to understand me ‘cause I’m not one of you
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him

California Dreamin’

Track 12  On  Not One of You  By  Hormoans

Written by John Phillips & Michelle Phillips Song Length: 2:24
Listen to the Song:
[audio:Hormoans/12-CaliforniaDreamin’.mp3]		 1981
Lyrics
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk on a winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold, he knows I’m gonna stay
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk on a winter’s day
If I didn’t tell her I could leave today
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day
California dreamin’ on such a winter’s day
