This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
He lives inside my mouth, tells me what to say
When he turns the trains on, he makes it go away
Hands are cracked and dirty, and the nails are beetle wings
When he turns the trains on, he unties all of the strings
Tell me something beautiful
Tell me something free
Tell me something beautiful
And I wish that I could be
Then I got my wings
And I never even knew it
When I was a worm
Thought I couldn't get through it
Come, come
Toys all smell like children, and the scab-knees will obey
I'll have to kneel on broomsticks just to make it go away
Then I got my wings
And I never even knew it
When I was a worm
Thought I couldn't get through it
Because today is black
Because there is no turning back
Because your lies have watered me
I have become the strongest weed
Because today is black
Because there is no turning back
Because your lies have watered me
I have become the strongest weed
The taste of metal, disintegrator
Three holes upon the leather belt
It's cut and swollen, the age is showing
There's no one here to save ourselves
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
When he turns the trains on, he makes it go away
Hands are cracked and dirty, and the nails are beetle wings
When he turns the trains on, he unties all of the strings
Tell me something beautiful
Tell me something free
Tell me something beautiful
And I wish that I could be
Then I got my wings
And I never even knew it
When I was a worm
Thought I couldn't get through it
Come, come
Toys all smell like children, and the scab-knees will obey
I'll have to kneel on broomsticks just to make it go away
Then I got my wings
And I never even knew it
When I was a worm
Thought I couldn't get through it
Because today is black
Because there is no turning back
Because your lies have watered me
I have become the strongest weed
Because today is black
Because there is no turning back
Because your lies have watered me
I have become the strongest weed
The taste of metal, disintegrator
Three holes upon the leather belt
It's cut and swollen, the age is showing
There's no one here to save ourselves
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/
manson being the worm asking the disintergrator to tell him the wonderful things about becoming a angel with scabbed wings basically and when he becomes and all... "this is what u should fear u are what u should fear the thing u should fear is u not god (cause in the bible it says to fear god and stuff) but just becoming your own god and fearing your ownself... and the part where he says your lies have wattered me i have become the strongest weed.... is refering to how the lies of life and exsperience through out mansons childhood has made him become what he is today soo the lies wattered him to become the strongest weed..... and strongest weed as in either reverend..... or a musician that gets his point across and speaks the truth of it all and is heard loud and clearly
That's interesting...I'd never seen the bylines of which lyrics belonged to which person...
Is Jack the character from AntiChrist superstar? He also appears in "Cruci-Fiction in Space" (if Jack was a Baptist, we'd drink wine from his hand).
And I think that Manson (or whomever the main character is) would be "having become the worm".
Another thing...this song, or an earlier version of it, was originally titled "Smells Like Children", being the title track of that album. A few lyrics changed, and the worm references are expanded upon, but it's mostly the same.
I wonder...if Kinderfeld is the era during which Manson, having been made a worm by society, becomes the Angel With the Scabbed Wings, then why is it AFTER "Angel with the Scabbed Wings" on the album?
Jack is his grandfather.hands are cracked and dirty and the nails are beetle wings--thats a refrence to his grandfather Jack,he had old hands,crack and dirty from working,and fingernails that resemble beetle wings(all black)"When he turns the trains on,he undoes all of the strings--thats about when his grandfather would go down into ther bacement where he had a trainset set up,and when he turned it on,as manson said in his book"long hard road out of hell"---he would look at a "adult"magazine witch he hid from brian,and he would do things! and manson and his friend would sneek down and see it! he was a deranged man! thats what the song is manly about,his grandfather
But how does that fit into the concept of the entire album? And who would be the "voice that we have not yet heard"? And, in that case, who is the "disintegrator".
If my general view of this song as well as the album are correct, then I can answer the above questions. With your interpretation, how do you answer them?
i think the vioce not heard is adult manson, watching himself as a little boy in his grandparents' basement. basically, if you read marilyn's book, this song makes sense to you.
this is probably my favorite mm song. the way it was put together is amazing and his vioce when he says "this is what you should fear, you are what you should fear" is simply orgasmic.
this is about his grandfather. he has said that numerous times in interviews and in his book.
He is already the Angel with the scabbed wings, this is song 11 Angel with scabbed wings is number 10.
I think this is him looking back on when he was a kid, maybe the voice not yet heard is him after he turns into the angel with scabbed wings. He's thinking back about how his grandparents mis-treated him when he was young. He though he couldn't get through it, but maybe those things made him stronger.
i agree muzzy
Yeah, and Jack is his grandfather's name...
this song was made when manson was with the spooky kids or thats what they called themselves in florida
