O Fortuna 03:18
O Fortuna velut luna statu variabilis, semper crescis aut decrescis; vita detestabilis nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludo mentis aciem, egestatem, potestatem dissolvit ut glaciem. Sors immanis et inanis, rota tu volubilis, status malus, vana salus semper dissolubilis, obumbrata et velata michi quoque niteris; nunc per ludum dorsum nudum fero tui sceleris. Sors salutis et virtutis michi nunc contraria, est affectus et defectus semper in angaria. Hac in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite; quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite! English Translation: O Fortune, variable as the moon, always dost thou wax and wane. Detestable life, first dost thou mistreat us, and then, whimsically, thou heedest our desires. As the sun melts the ice, so dost thou dissolve both poverty and power. Monstrous and empty fate, thou, turning wheel, art mean, voiding good health at thy will. Veiled in obscurity, thou dost attack me also. To thy cruel pleasure I bare my back. Thou dost withdraw my health and virtue; thou dost threaten my emotion and weakness with torture. At this hour, therefore, let us pluck the strings without delay. Let us mourn together, for fate crushes the brave.

Closure 03:10
Your faith and blind devotion are the actions of one aware, created as machines for the lawless powers of those who would never care. The blood runs off their hands, as thick as their precious black gold. Something they think is worth dying for, something we can't condone. Their chains will break. We can't let this continue, the rape of our world, only to ensure the success of those who don't give a fuck about what they crush, under their flagrant despot footsteps. I won't wear the blindfold.

Contraction 02:32
I have no feelings for you... you can't smother this anymore. Distraught notions of life's consistency, our convictions will not fall at your feet. Mislead, disrust, Vindication. There is so much more still kept in the dark of what this all is for. I won't stand for it anymore, I won't stand for this anymore, we can't stand it any longer.

Ebb 03:24
Erosion of the land causes my establishment to fall down to the ground below and I feel so low. I can't escape from you. Reconstruction, it's time to build again. Maybe once this time I'll win. Maybe I'll have better luck this time. This time. Erosion.

Stupid Me 01:38
It's just another selfish game, but I won't participate in this way of conquest, right of passage. Strive for stature, exploit the passive. Point rank system. Joint rape project. Count me out, I'm not submitting. Your score proves nothing to me. Masculinity...
9.
I cannot, I will not support your lies, innocent organization the disguise, but in truth a business that feeds from the pockets of those seeking innocence. Preaching words of hate, unfounded hate, and you remain in spite of this. Integration of the lifestyles you wish kept from your lives, a belief for the people you see fit in your eyes. I will not be broken. You can not destroy me. Why can't we accept diversity? Immunity...

End of you Defining you Center of you Perfect moment Just before the rain Say it Rays of light Burning dust Above and beyond Unconnected Fields of silence This is the end of the world Say it Reach for the stars

What You Are Wake Up And Dream I need to wake up soon So very soon Into the light zone Into the light I`m falling forwards And into sight And running backwards And falling down They cheer they cheer Under a piercing and Blinding light The crowd all gather Singing Right on right on But there`s no dark corner Only Centre stage The crowd gets restless I begin to say I don`t know if you know I care i`m here I`m only barely holding on To something that is real I`ll stand up to the noise and light Until everything requires I might be heard Or else wake up And dream Dream Dream He`s so good looking The traffic stops He`s a politician A heavenly cop Words of healing Fall from his lips Lifting up the weak Is in his gift People say yeah To the hall of office And the foreign stage Maybe at last The world`s a Better place He`s brought down swiftly By the Hand of fate The people weep And the thought remains When you fight for every breath Do you stop to think about your friends or do you Realise That in that moment separating life and death You want to take what you can get And maybe Only wake up But not Dream What You Are Wake Up And Dream

Rock Lobster 03:09
We were at a party His ear lobe fell in the deep Someone reached in and grabbed it It was a rock lobster We were at the beach Everybody had matching towels Somebody went under a dock And there they saw a rock It wasn't a rock It was a rock lobster Motion in the ocean His air hose broke Lots of trouble Lots of bubble He was in a jam S'in a giant clam Down, down Underneath the waves Mermaids wavin' Wavin' to mermen Wavin' sea fans Sea horses sailin' Dolphins wailin' Red snappers snappin' Clam shells clappin' Muscles flexin' Flippers flippin' Down, down Let's rock! Boy's in bikinis Girls in surfboards Everybody's rockin' Everybody's fruggin' Twistin' 'round the fire Havin' fun Bakin' potatoes Bakin' in the sun Put on your noseguard Put on the Lifeguard Pass the tanning butter Here comes a stingray There goes a manta-ray In walked a jelly fish There goes a dog-fish Chased by a cat-fish In flew a sea robin Watch out for that piranha There goes a narwhal Here comes a bikini whale!

about

This is a re-issue of the band's long out of print collection of early 7-inch material, compilation cuts, and other rarities, providing an incisive look at the germination of Seattle's legendary ass-kickers. Originally released by Excursion Records in 2002, it features sixteen ferocious tracks that only Botch could deliver, complete with weird samples, postmodern anxiety, and unstoppable riffs.
