Slave to the Wage single (2000)

Slave to the Wage (single, 2000)

발매 당시 UK 싱글 차트 19위까지 오름. 현대 직장인들의 고된 일상에 관한 곡.
Bob Dylan의 Maggie's Farm이 가사에 언급됨. Pavement의 Texas Never Whispers가 곡 도입부에 사용됨.
뮤비는 Howard Greenhalgh가 감독했으며 영화 Gattaca에서 영감을 얻어 연출되었음.

사람들이 일률적으로 줄지어 놓인 책상에 앉아(칸막이도 없이) 일하는 장면이 그랬던 것 같다.

이 싱글앨범 b-side, 내가 다 좋아하는 곡들이네...^^

Leni

I kneel before her, beneath this frozen sky
Beneath her shoulder, beneath her evil eye
She towers over this male who is a fly
My sci-fi lullaby

I kneel before her, beneath this frozen sky
I beg below her, my limbs are paralyzed
She beats me harder than any kind of guy
My sci-fi lullaby 

Bubblegun

Take this migraine everywhere I go
Take the fast lane everywhere I go
Take this migraine everywhere I go
Someday, gonna take it slow

Take this migraine everywhere I go
Take the fast lane everywhere I go
Take this migraine everywhere I go
Someday, gonna take it slow

I wanna turn you on
Feels like a loaded gun
Spit out your Bubblegum
I wanna...Wanna... 

I wanna turn you on
Feels like a loaded gun
Spit out your Bubblegum
I wanna... I Wanna... 
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna, I wanna cum

내 개인적으로는 이 곡 첨 들었을 때 왠지 Cowboy Junkies 느낌의 곡이란 생각이 들었다.

딴 사람이 이 곡 불렀으면 징그러웠을 건데 몰코가 부르면 섹시하다...^^

Holocaust

Your eyes are almost dead
can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep
You're sitting down to dress
and you're a mess
You look in the mirror
You look in your eyes
Then you realize
Everybody goes
leaving those
who fall behind
Everybody goes
as far as they can
They don't just care
They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your airs
Your mother's dead
She said
"Don't be afraid"
Your mother's dead
You're on your own
She's in her bed
Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care
You're a wasted face
you're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust
