"The Ministry Of Social Affairs" lyrics
"The Ministry Of Social Affairs"
See them sitting, in the rain
As the sky is darkening
Three lines of traffic are edging past
The ministry of social affairs
At a junction on the ground
An amputee and a pregnant hound
Sit by the young men with withered arms
As if death had already passed
Through every alleyway, and left
A million beggars silhouettes
Near where the money changers sit
By their locked glass cabinets
What has happened, let go and ask
The ministry of social affairs
Near where the money changers sit
By their locked glass cabinets
That's what they want, oh yeah
Money, honey
That's what they want, oh yeah
Money, honey
That's what they want, oh yeah
Money, honey
That's what they want, oh yeah
Money, honey
That's what they want, oh yeah
Money, honey
That's what they want, oh yeah
Money, honey

Sonic Youth - "Kool Thing" Kool Thing sittin' with a kiddie
Now you know you're sure lookin' pretty
Like a lover not a dancer
Superboy take a chance here
I don't wanna, I don't think so

The Dead Weather - "I Cut Like A Buffalo" You know I look like a woman, but I
Cut like a buffalo
Stand up like a tower
But I fall
Just like a domino
You can hit me if you want to
Do whatever makes you happy
But don't take it easy on...
The Brian Jonestown Massacre - "Anemone" I, I think I know how I feel
'Cause I, I only play it for real
You should be picking me up instead you're dragging me down
You're flying over my head, you're landing all over town
You, you know that...
Iggy Pop & Jarvis Cocker - "Red Right Hand" Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
Hey man,...
