where can you get it?
pixies - where is my mind
maxence cyrin - where is my mind

lyrics: with your feet in the air and your head on the ground
try this trick and spin it, yeah
your head will collapse
but there's nothing in it
and you'll ask yourself

where is my mind?
where is my mind?
where is my mind?

way out in the water
see it swimming

i was swimming in the caribbean
animals were hiding behind the rocks
except the little fish
but they told me, he swears
trying to talk to me, coy koi

where is my mind?
where is my mind?
where is my mind?

way out in the water
see it swimming

with your feet in the air and your head on the ground
try this trick and spin it, yeah
your head will collapse
if there's nothing in it
and you'll ask yourself

where is my mind?
where is my mind?
where is my mind?

way out in the water
see it swimming

with your feet in the air and your head on the ground
try this trick and spin it, yeah

cover #11: bullet with butterfly wings

song: bullet with butterfly wings
cover band: frida snell
original: smashing pumpkins

comment: there are songs out there that i call 'songs for the rain'. they don't necessarily have to have tinkly pianos, but there is just some underlying... iunno. it's hard to explain, ryan adams' "everybody knows" and massive attack's "teardrop" are songs for the rain. so's this one.

unfortunately, amazon doesn't have frida snell's lovely version of bullet with butterfly wings. your only hope is to search the internet.

lyrics: the world is a vampire
sent to drain
secret destroyers
hold you up to the flames
and what do i get
for my pain?
betrayed desires
and a piece of the game

even though i know
i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold
like old job

despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say
what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage

now i'm naked
nothing but an animal
but can you fake it
for just one more show?
and what do you want?
i want to change
and what have you got
when you feel the same?

even though i know
i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold
like old job

despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say
what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage

tell me i'm the only one
tell me there's no other one
jesus was the only son, yeah
tell me i'm the chosen one
jesus was the only son for you


despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage
