This is the story of bee-you-tea-fool
Mango Cotton and how her marma-lady
voice got stolen by one
DJ (dodgy) Queenie Nylon Day-glo Doof
only to be won back by Cotton's
very own altered-ego: SUPER COTTON
after the acid mother of all battles!
MANGO! COTTON!
Mango cotton
She is sad
Something happen
Very bad
Mango Cotton
Make no noise
DJ dodgy
Steal her voice
Tell me girls
Tell me boys
How to get back
Mango noise?
MANGO! COTTON!
DJ Queenie
She's trouble!
She is indie-structa-bubble
Much too old
Much too young
And she's got
The cutest bum
Much too old
Much too young
Trips on acid
Speaks in tongues
Ecstacy is energy
Pluck the mango
From the tree
DJ (dodgy) Nylon
Queen
Dayglo Doof
Lost her yoof

Tha wickid trooth
Victim of The Virus Doof!
She ain't made
Of human stuff
She's tough

WO-man stuff
She's rough

DEE JAY D-DAY!

WAVING
you ask me what makes anger
you ask me why we rage
you ask me how to kill a fire
or turn another page
you ask me what makes lightning strike
or why the rain brings flood
what burns a nation down to sand
why war spills so much blood
and just for a moment
I thought you saw me wave
but you were looking the other way
you ask me how I taught myself to
turn the force around
look fear and anger in the eyes and
turn it into sound
you ask if I can ride the wave
of dangerous emotion
and if bitter disappointments are
the measure of my passion
and just for a moment
I thought I caught your eye
but you were turning the other way
when you were a young one
you took the road you wanted
you didn't live to compromise
you took the world in with your eyes
and cut your portion down to size
and as you grew we always knew
that you were not for turning
but when you take this path in life
remember that you light
the fire you burn in
