Center Of Your Ways

These wonderful words. Are not magical. Oh so spiritual. And indivisible. I get so confused. When I see you. And the center of your ways. Just the center of your ways.

Cannon-fire Orange

This song has undergone a few changes over the years. Mostly notable for it's Spanish flair, it was originally written in 1990, just before we (BellBangVilla) went into the studio to record our first album, "In Love With The Greenery". The first recording was much shorter than the later versions. It consisted of just the first verses and chorus. In 1992, after a band name change, we decided to re-record Cannon-Fire Orange with additional lyrics and instrumentation for our album "Star-Studded-Super-Step". It was greatly improved. Finally, in 1994, we recorded Cannon-Fire Orange one more time for the album "Sin". Though the changes were much less drastic this time, the sound, recording, and "authenticity" were better. We also knew that many of our current fan base (at the time) had never heard our previous versions of this song, so it was new to most people..

Bones Are Breaking

This song has always been one of my favorites, for some reason. It wasn't a single. We didn't really play it in concert (just once, that I can remember). It rarely stuck out to people as a "strong" song off of the album, but I always liked it. I think the recording (with the preceeding *mess-up*) is very cool. I always dug the really large 'tom' drums at the beginning *AND* the bridge remains one of my personal favorites!.

Bliss Is

It seems that every Lu album had at least one "upbeat and funky" track. "Bliss" is one of those. Though we were never known to be a funk band, we did seem to have an edge where that style could be found now and then - and it was especially fun during our live shows. The gritty bass track is certainly one of the most notable aspects of this song... that and the groovy break-it-down solo type part. A good album song, and a great live song! (Side note: the title "Bliss Is" is strangely close to the title of an Ocean Blue song, "Bliss Is Unaware". I'm pretty sure that my brain took the title from that song, though I didn't know it at the time. Oh, well.).

Bittersweet

One of the most notable features of this song is the haunting cello track by our friend, Phil Peterson. We wanted this track to be full of 'sounds', so we kept adding things and building it up. The result is a strangely emotional song..

All Pretty For The T.v.

We had recorded this song once before at Innovations Music & Media, where Straight Six was recorded. It was rough, but pop-y. At the time, this was probably our most exciting song and, in fact, quickly became a crowd favorite. Eventually, we would have friends 3NP join us on stage for a hip-hop style interlude in the middle. The album version features sound-bites taken from Swirling Eddie's video "Spittle & Phlegm", at our request..

A Month Of Moments

It swept me in, it tossed me out, I fear. And the consequence is clear. Listen to the heartbreak, my dear. And now I sit alone. . I count the words in me if you could only see.

A Better Me

This song is definitely one of the 'filler' tracks on the album. Never played in concert (that I can remember) and hardly ever mentioned by anyone. What is it's strong point (if any)? The bridge. This song's bridge remains one of our top 5 favorites. Strange, but true..

We Shot The World

They don't mind, take our wallets. Tell us how you're gonna steal our time. (We shot the world). 'Cause you know you'll never tear us apart. (We shot the world).

Small Talk

And when I take the stand call your witness. I'll tell you who I am, another mockery. Will tell your people I figure I just don't know. What you bottle up inside and that's my story to tell.

Shadow Box

Oh, here we go again. It's time for the same arguments about. About that and a little bit of this. I love you dear but I wanna spend this time. . Why do you do this to me?.

Sad Eyes

It's not the way you look. Always feeling sad 'cause the people stare. It's just another game. . You're feeling up. You're down back around again. Give me something to feel or take it all away.

Lets Kill Ourselves

Emotionally drained. A black cloud is coming down to be my guide. And it will tell me things. About the facts of life and how to survive. . Sometimes I feel like killing myself.

I'm With You

Are you afraid to go outside?. Are you afraid of what you might find?. Baby girl, I, I understand it. I've seen it too and I don't recommend it. . Are you afraid of what's been started?.

Harakiri

Now tell me people. They don't come around here no more. The time is right. So you're gonna go down with me. . Now where you going boy?. And I don't know is this all a dream.

Get Black

Saving all my pennies up, trying to get some cigarettes. But that's the way I gotta live. And there's a girl sitting on the bus bench. Yelling at the pigeons as the children chase the sun.

Fall Inn

Oh on the first day, I saw your face. and I think I fell, oh it doesn't beat you. do doo doo do do do. . Well on the second day, in a seeded way. I tried to tell you I can't be thinking life would turn away.

Discoteca

Well, I see you life and it's blowing away. Just like the storm that will toss you away. Nothing to lose and baby nothing to win. Just living my life until the very end.
