"Oh such grace
Oh such beauty
So precious, suspicious, and charming, ambitious.
Oh darlin'
You're a million ways
Oh darlin'
You're a million ways to be cruel."
I always hear
"Oh such grace
Oh such beauty
So precious, suspicious, and charming, and vicious.
Oh darlin'
You're a million ways
Oh darlin'
You're a million ways to be cruel."
just my thought
and the little things that get you to believe....
sorry for the lack of diction...
for "good idea..." it's Anastasia (but really I think I just said 'stasia)
she was the daughter of the last russian czar, and was never found after her parents were killed. the refernence is to sympathy for the devil, in which mr jagger says, "killed the czar and his ministers; anastasia cried in vain" (or was it pain?)
the whole song is a response to sypathy for the devil. the stones' devil is responsible for all evil. our devil is just another bystander as people fuck everything up themselves.
it's Pilate (not pilot) and politesse, not politics.
but you're a pretty damn good scribe, otherwise....

No Sign: "and everybody's ______, didn't do no good, no sign of life"
Crash the Party: "let's crash the party, _______ (hey hey hey), let's burn holes.."
Here it Goes Again: "though all you cause _______, and you leave me with my jaw on the floor"
everybody's best attempts
let's crash the party, El Dorado on the lawn (a model of old car... buick, I think?)
throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa (the second pixies album), and you leave me with my jaw on the floor.

Yes! I was so right with that. No one believed me...but I was convinced that it was Anastasia and Pilate. Also, I'm loving the fact that it's in response to the Stones song. Way to rock.
TELEVISION TELEVISION
Look at the hottie in the tight jeans,
Look at the pipe dreams,
Look at the fat man bursting the seams
Look at the captain with the galaxy, right off his balcony
Look at the science and your alchemy
Look at the sirens on the cop cars
Look at the pop stars
Look at the convicts fighting the bars (?)
LOOK AT THE CONVICTS FILING THE BARS
Look at the wife, look at the knife
Look at the prom prom prom queen screaming screaming run for her life
LOOK AT THE POM POM PROM QUEEN SCREAM AND SCREAM AND ...
Oh it’s always right, the perfect life, the dark of night
THE PERFECT LIGHT
Give up the world, give up your life cos’ you cannot fight the television
Oooooh television television
Ooooooh the television!
Look at them trying to get the flag higher
Look at the quagmire
Look at the tread separate from the tyre
Look at the jockey trying to get a grip
LOOK AT THE JUNKIE TRYING TO GET A GRAM
Look at the betting man,
Look at him folding on the bet at hand
LOOK AT HIM FOLDING ON THE BETTER HAND
Oh its always right, to feel this light, the dark of night
THE FEARLESS LIGHT
Give up the world, give up your life cos’ you cannot fight the television
Oooooh television television
Ooooooh the television television
Oh the television
Look at me hypnotised …..

Sit back, matter of fact, teasing, toying, turning, chatting, charming, hissing, playing the crowd. Play that song again, another couple Klonopin, a nod, a glance, a half-hearted bow. Oh such grace, oh such beauty, and lipstick and callous and fishnets and malice. Oh darling, you're a million ways to be cruel. I should, I wish I could, maybe if you were, I would, a list of standard-issue regrets. One last 80 proof, slouching in the corner booth. Baby, it's as good as it gets. Oh such grace, oh such beauty. So precious, suspicious, and charming, and vicious. Oh darling, you're a million ways to be cruel.
When they finally come to destroy the earth they’ll have to go through you first, and I bet they wont be expecting that. When they finally come to destroy the earth they’ll have to deal with you first. And my money says they won’t know about the 1000-Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes
invincible oh oh oh
Crushing crashing eyes of smashing white hot light hey…invincible
THAT CRUSHING CRASHING ATOM-SMASHING WHITE HOT THINGS IT'S... INVINCIBLE
When they finally come what will you do to them? Gonna decimate like you did to me? Will you leave them standing stuttering
STUNNED AND STUTTERING
when they finally come out will you handle them, will you devastate them deliberately. Cause im gonna guess they wont be prepared for the 1000 Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes.
Invincible oh oh oh
So please use your powers for good. Please use your powers for good.
Invincible oh oh oh
just in case anyone still needed those
For "Television," I think that line is "glamour and sedition."
For "Million Ways," it sounds like "play that song again, another couple klonopin." (Klonopin is a drug - I believe it's used for anxiety, but I could be totally making that up.)
For "Invincible," I hear "crushing, crashing, atom-smashing."
Agree? Disagree? Know the right use for klonopin?
100%. darling. word up.
very well done. here's how I remember it:
So you were born in an electrical storm, took a bite out the sun and saw your future in a machine built for two. Now your rays make me kind of go crazy, shock and awe and amaze me, just a ticker tape parade and me but something was wrong, till you tap danced on the air, in the night. Screaming at the top of your lungs, you said, “Come on, come on. Do what you want. What could go wrong? Oh come on come on come on, come on, do what you want. Oh come on come on. What could go wrong? Do do do do what you want.” Come on. Me, I was raised amid the trickle-down days. I woke up numb in the haze and saw my future in a machine built for two, but the light gave me some kind of fright. How did wrong get so right and lead me stumbling through the dark of night? Oh something was wrong, but you tap danced on the air, in the night,
Screaming at the top of your lungs you said, “Come on, come on. Do what you want. What could go wrong? Come on come on come on, come on, do what you want. Oh come on come on. What could go wrong? Do do do do what you want.” Come on.

He's saying "Busty Latrine." It's a clever reference to a 1970s porn star.
