Modern Art 02:37
You got your youth, you feel alive You got your fingers, count 'em, 1-2-3-4-5 Living in the city with everybody just like you I see you frothing at the hips I see you shooting, man, you're shooting at the lips alpha-alpha pretty idiot-idiot, you're the shit What's inside your mind? What makes you so cool? Reptilian dinner party intellectual Haha, Ja! Alles Klar! All is clear for me One day you will be exposed, and I'll be singing I knew from the start I knew from the start You're so damned smart you're so modern art you're so modern art Living in a van, listening to rhetoric and no one ever asked, to hear about the politics of being a big man, and beating people with a little stick You're a Phillistine, I'm a piece of meat I will not believe the things that I see on TV I wish I was on TV, then you would see me I wouldn't be invisible and everybody would say They knew from the start They knew from the start That I'm so damned smart I'm so modern art I'm so modern art

Bummed out against the curb Chained in front of Depanneur Rubber wheels, plastic hair Long live the moving target Sweet dreams, sweet dreams, To the bike thief, bike thief Nice to meet you! Live to ride, ride to serve My solitary passenger Bike thief come with a mouth full-a gum Bike thief running, and he's gone gone gone Pedal to the medal, he's gone gone gone Sweet dreams, sweet dreams, To the bike thief, bike thief Nice to meet you! Sweet dreams, sweet dreams, And a kiss on both cheeks! To the bike thief, bike thief Nice to meet you!

Night Night 02:50
Night night, don’t let the bedbugs bite Don’t let all the things you’ve done wrong keep you up at night Buzz Buzz, another day undone Constipation of notifications, give me one more buzz And it’s all gone wrong Believe it, Believe it, Can we all shutup? Deleted, Deleted Deleted! Deleted! Can you hear white noise? every moment feeding off content never had a choice we’re all white noise It’s been two weeks since I slept without a phone beside my head I think I forget what it’s like to disconnect I think that I can’t think, so I close my eyes and sing La-la-la-la-la-la, fuck it all, is it me or is it real? Can you hear white noise? Never had a choice Never had a choice we’re all white noise And it’s all gone wrong Believe it, believe it Can we all shut up? Deleted, Deleted everyone shut up I need it, I mean it I see you walking in my head you are not there you are not there I see you walking in my head you are nightmare you are nightmare I explode everywhere I explode everywhere I am exploding everywhere I am exploding everywhere

You're on the corner with pocket change You're in your head but it's re-a-re-a-rearranged Chewin' gum and you're talking strange How it's all been changed, yeah it's all been changed Since hungry ghosts devoured you whole While you were lookin to soothe your soul Synthetic truths are coming of age They're all the rage, yes they're all the rage And I can't look away You got your new shoes, there goes the neighborhood You do you do you, there goes the neighborhood You're gonna be what you wanna be not anything that they want you to be You're chewin gum and you're talking strange and you're walkin strange, with your pocket change Change in the taxi, no time for the bus With dirty hair and illusions of lust Stories like pictures in broken frames and they're awful strange, how they've all been changed I can't see the way you want to I can't see the way you are And I know I should just watch you walk You got your new shoes, there goes the neighborhood You do you do you, there goes the neighborhood I got I got to, I hear the neighbors And they're wonderin where you got to With the subtle implication Yeah I wonder where you're off to I misplaced my invitation You got your new shoes, there goes the neighborhood You do you do you, there goes the neighborhood I got to I got you, right here in the neighborhood I got to I got you, right here in the neighborhood There goes the neighborhood There goes the neighborhood

Guillotine 03:15
Swinging axe, swinging axe above my head above my head with every nametag that I wear Swinging axe, swinging axe I’m in my my means, in my means don’t mean anything Swinging axe, swinging axe Guillotine I need you, and it’s off to work we go Cutting down the time, in unemployment lines Not at fault not at fault says the boss says the boss I get a little piece of paper nothing on it, nothing on it and i’m off it on it off it on it off it on it Guillotine nine-to-five, paying all my things on time Guillotine every day, and nobody gets paid Comfort is the silent killer (komfort ist der stillekille) Idleness the enemy I fill out the application, poster boy for motivation I wait here patiently Make it stop stop stop Guillotine I need you, and it’s off to work we go Cutting down the time, in unemployment lines Who’s looking out for me? who’s looking out for me?

Stains 02:32
I thought that I was so smart, not impressionable Your propositions and your motives are so questionable Manipulate piece of clay, butt me out in your ashtray Burning slow, here we go Everybody, it's three to tango I played your game Now I'm a stain And your boyfriend He wants me dead The sun is shining, and I'm having the best time now That silver lining spread thin, thin like margarine Such perfect timing to be meek, hilarious and weak Like the sack of meat I am Should've got on that plane, with all the other stains I'd rather be in Berlin, where the girls are pretty and la-fucking-dee-da Might be coffee, might be mud Might be ketchup, might be blood The sun is shining, and I'm having the best time now That silver lining spread thin, thin like margarine Such perfect timing to be meek, hilarious and weak Like the sack of meat Like the sack of meat I Like the sack of meat Like the sack of meat I am

Shrink Wrap 01:58
Shrink-shrink wrap-wrap Wet dreams in the washing machine Are the kinkiest way to clean my jeans My brain in the microwave It’s the only way to have a sunny day I don’t really know where to start Sit down and make yourself uncomfortable I never ever thought that my problems would be trouble I don’t really know where to start But I oughta cause I’m falling apart Shrink-shrink wrap-wrap Waking up was my first mistake Falling asleep was my last regret Wrap me up in cellophane Give me a kiss! Do I taste the same? Sometimes I feel depressed Just kidding it’s all pretend Sometimes I feel pretend Just kidding I’m all depressed I’m all the best In the bigger picture Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Shrink-shrink wrap-wrap In safety blanket Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Shrink-shrink wrap-wrap In straight jacket Oh yeah

I’m in a space That’s reflective of my wage Work every day And I’m tripping every evening I hate the way That you flap your gums and say “Another day, another half a dollar Shipping and Receiving” It’s rare To see the sun Life’s alright As a parasite (as a parasite) Coast to coast Man, I think I’m going postal Another day In Shipping and Receiving It’s rare To see the sun I’m turning toxic Assembling boxes It’s great great great great great Being full of hate hate hate hate hate Life’s alright As a parasite

Jet Blue 02:19
Jet Blue, Jet Blue! All eyes on you! They're all gonna laugh at you! Blue, Jet Blue, the smell of rubber gloves Fast food, ten-thousand feet of love Take off, orgasms from above Touch down, so are we having fun? Sucking quarters from a payphone Je suis le roi of the timezone Getting sick at domestic Now I'm getting fresh on SMS Hurry up and wait at the terminal, Hurry up and wait, I'm turning blue Jet Blue, Jet Blue! Tell them the truth! They're all making fun of you! Hot mess on the cold floor Je suis le roi of the layover 20-20-24 hours to go I'm gonna blow it, I know I'm gonna blow it Hurry up and wait at the terminal, Dirty jokes written on the bathroom stalls, Checkpoint, edibles, alcohol Bubble Gum, cock ring, addirol Hurry up and wait at the terminal, Hurry up and wait, I'm turning Blue, Jet Blue, Blue... Blue Blue Blue! I love you! Blue Blue Blue! Jet Blue, Jet Blue-Blue-Blue-Blue Jet Blue, Jet Blue-Blue-Blue-Blue Jet Blue, Jet Blue-Blue-Blue-Blue and I'm over it over it over it over it!

Sue Tissue 04:35
I love you, Sue Tissue But where in the modern world are you? Off the grid since ‘86 Back aboard the mothership Someone said they thought they knew it You were deep in Massachusetts Tending to a family With no electricity Pushing every envelope You gave all the losers hope LA’s long lost new wave band I wanna hold your long lost hand I first heard ‘Janitor’ Couldn’t stop thinking of her What was in your mouth that day? That made you want to sing that way? Made you want to disappear? I would whisper in your ear No one does the way you do No one does like Sue Tissue Pushing every envelope You gave all the losers hope LA’s long lost new wave band I wanna hold your long lost hand Sue Tissue I love you so Tell us why you had to go? Pack my bags and I’m ready to roll I’d become invisible I like that and I like you too, and I Want that like I want you too Won’t you come back? Won’t you come back? Won’t you come back? Won’t you come back? Sue Tissue?

about

Quel Drag is eleven massive tracks of freaky fun intensity produced by none other than Tom Thacker of GOB and SUM 41!! Thematically, the new album explodes in an unbridled celebration of the weird and wonderful moments that unite us while firmly rejecting the negative forces that try to bring us down. Quel Drag is the antithesis to bummer punk and quite possibly one of the best albums you’ve heard in a very long time.
