(Monstrum in fronte, monstrum in animo.
Process, Process, slum full of fun)

Beausoleil, soleil soleil soleil soleil
Beausoleil, reaping Nirvana in a desert land
Beausoleil, Thine anger rising like a scorpion
Beausoleil, dune buggy baby on a fairground slide
Beausoleil, the taste of honey and the swirl of flies
Beausoleil, jackbooting wide-eyed in the widest pit
Beausoleil, looking at smiles and seeing nly grins
Beausoleil, did dead gods smell when the dog's blood rose
Beausoleil, now all Thine summers turn to menstrual winters
Beausoleil, kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill killy kill
Beausoleil, did dog's blood rise when the dead gods died
Beausoleil, beautiful sunshine whose shadow hides
Beausoleil, white brothers planting burning crosses
Beausoleil, the sharpest flavour is the one that stains
Beausoleil, when dog's blood rises does it also dance
Beausoleil, grey benediction of the Final Church
Beausoleil, it's just your habit of culling time
Beausoleil, a Death In June under a menstrual moon
Beausoleil, Scorpio Rising but the Light Bearer falls
Beausoleil, the squeaky laughter of a giddy world
Beausoleil, still waving black flags from a stubble field
Beausoleil, a maltese cross is pierced by the Blood of Christ
Beausoleil, hiding from cancer crabs and cracking jokes
Beausoleil, arson archbishop makes the deserts burn
Beausoleil, the dead are grateful -- all you need is love
Beausoleil, fat Buddhas smiling with the widest grin
Beausoleil, candy floss surgeon with the golden hair
Beausoleil, a brand new Process for a brand new age
Beausoleil, a black Messiah wearing buckskin boots
Beausoleil, assassin creepy-crawls through Hebron's Vale
Beausoleil, there's no business like the devil's business
Beausoleil, another martyr for the Noddy Apocalypse
Beausoleil, que sera, sera
Beausoleil, we want to sink into the deepest basin
Beausoleil, fils de perdition, Luciferens
Beausoleil, 7 and 7 is the hidden key
Beausoleil, a train to Clarkesville in the menstrual night
Beausoleil, Disneyland darkens with your Armageddon smile
Beausoleil, sangs rGyas chos dang tsogs kyi mChog rNams la
Beausoleil, you hide your candle on Golgotha's hill

    "Beausoleil"

    Bobby Beausoleil, Manson family associate.

    "reaping Nirvana in a desert land"

    The desert land is Death Valley, where the Manson family resided.

    "Thine anger rising like a scorpion"

    Occult film director Kenneth Anger directed the film Scorpio Rising and was originally going to cast Bobby Beausoleil in his film Lucifer Rising.

    "dune buggy baby on a fairground slide"

    The fairground slide was the inspiration for the Beatle's song "Helter Skelter," which was also the codename for Manson's predicted race war, in which the family would ride around on dune buggies ruling the land.

    "the taste of honey and the swirl of flies" "jackbooting wide-eyed in the deepest pit" "looking at smiles and seeing only grins"

    "did dead gods smell when the dog's blood rose?"

    Dogs Blood Rising was an early Current 93 release. It may also relate to the supposed underground occult group Circe, Order of Dog's Blood which was apparently operating in southern California in the late '60s (and probably inspired David Tibet's pre-Current 93 project, Dogs Blood Order).

    "now all Thine summers turn to menstrual winters"

    Menstruation was a frequent reference in early Current 93.

    "kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill killy kill"

    David Tibet uses this phrasing again in "Nightmare Culture"

    "beautiful sunshine whose shadow hides"

    A reference to the translation of Beausoleil's name and the irony behind it belonging to such a historically dark figure. The alternate version of this song is called "The Ballad of Bobby Sunshine".

    "white brothers planting burning crosses"

    A reference to the KKK

    "the sharpest flavour is the one that stains"

    I got nothin'.

    "when dog's blood rises does it also dance?"

    See above.

    "grey benediction of the final church"

    A reference to the Process Church of the Final Judgment, with which Manson was (allegedly) associated.

    "it's just your habit of culling time"

    No idea.

    "a Death In June under a menstrual moon"

    A reference to Current 93's contemporary band, Death In June.

    "Scorpio rising but the Light Bearer falls"

    Another reference to Kenneth Anger's films and Beausoleil's failed role as Lucifer.

    "the squeaky laughter of a giddy world"

    Manson family member Squeaky Fromme got her nickname from her style of laugh.

    "still waving black flags from a stubble field a maltese cross is pierced by the blood of Christ hiding from cancer crabs and cracking jokes arson archbishop makes the deserts burn"

    Not sure about any of these.

    "the dead are grateful ("all you need is love")"

    References to California psychedelic rock band The Grateful Dead and to the Beatles.

    "fat Buddhas smiling with the widest grin candy floss surgeon with the golden hair"

    Got nothin'

    "a brand new process for a brand new age"

    Another reference to the Process Church.

    "a black Messiah wearing buckskin boots"

    This could relate to Manson's predicted race war.

    "assassin creepy-crawls through Hebron's Vale"

    A reference to the Manson killings themselves.

    "another martyr for the Noddy Apocalypse"

    British children's character Noddy was an obsession of David Tibet's for a time, and the apocalypse continues to be.

    "there's no business like the devil's business"

    Farmily member Tex Watson said "I am the devil and I'm here to do the devil's business" before murdering Wojciech Frykowski.

    "que será, será we want to sink into the deepest basin Beausoleil, fils de perdition, Luciferens 7 and 7 is the hidden key"

    No idea, except for the obvious song reference in Que sera sera and the occult references in the other lines.

    "a train to Clarkesville in the menstrual night"

    A reference to the Monkees' hit song.

    "Disneyland darkens with your Armageddon smile"

    This could refer to the state of fear over southern California at the time of the murders.

    "sangs rGyas chos dang tsogs kyi mChog rNams la"

    This is Tibetan, but I don't know what it means.

    "you hide your candle on Golgotha's hill"

    Golgotha was where Christ was crucified.

    All the other lyrics are repeats.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
