+ | <blockquote> | ||
+ | "the holts are nearly always close to sea<br /> | ||
+ | fallen boulders, old ruins, and cliffs<br /> | ||
+ | all at the top of a sand edifice<br /> | ||
+ | high above the sea<br /> | ||
+ | a safe place for cubs<br /> | ||
+ | we wait, tense<br /> | ||
+ | we're disappointed<br /> | ||
+ | she leaves her [?] loaded by others of us<br /> | ||
+ | the holts are evenly spread<br /> | ||
+ | about 500 meters apart [?] or so they advertise"'' | ||
+ | </blockquote> ([[An Eagle in Your Mind]]) | ||
+ | * A synthetic-sounding voice saying "I love you" ([[An Eagle in Your Mind]]) | ||
+ | * According to Jim E: "there's a background sound throughout the song which could be "sweat-sweat" (in the first part of the song), with "tension" coming in later. It's hard to recognise as speech, but it could well be; one of the interviews says that the "percussion" in the track was constructed using the voice of the girlfriend of one of BoC."

That tiny room at the beach was absolutely the perfect place for my first time. When we came together, I could feel the hairs growing on my chest. I saw my future. I saw my past. For a few minutes it was like being alive. They lived happily ever after. All my questions had been answered. All my fears disappeared. All that was left was a kiss. Every move we made was a kiss. (Sixtyniner, Sir Prancelot Brainfire)
When I'm with a friend / then I feel proud, and there's a Proud Me, too. / When I'm with a friend / then I feel proud, and there's a Proud Me, too. / - Me, too. / Right now, I'm the Loving Me; isn't he cute? And after I've done a real good job - I've cleaned my room, or something like that - then I feel proud, and there's a Proud Me, too. And when I'm with a friend, and we're having a good time, then I'm the Happy Me. But when my friend has to go home, then I feel a little sad, so I turn into the Sad Me. Anyway, there sure are a lot of different Me's, just like you have a lot of different You's. Well, we're going outside to - outside to play now, I hope all the different You's have fun, too! Bye!" (Whitewater [pitch-shifted and words rearranged], Sixtyten [reversed], Sunshine Recorder ["Bye"'s only])
Now that the show is over, and we have jointly exercised our constitutional rights, we would like to leave you with one very important thought: Some time in the future, you may have the opportunity to serve as a juror in a so-called obscenity case. It would be wise to remember that the same people who would stop you from viewing an adult film may be back next year to complain about a book, or even a TV programme. If you can be told what you can see or read, then it follows that you can be told what to say or think. Defend your constitutionally-protected rights. No one else will do it for you. Thank you. (One Very Important Thought on BOC Maxima)
(An Eagle in Your Mind)"the holts are nearly always close to sea
fallen boulders, old ruins, and cliffs
all at the top of a sand edifice
high above the sea
a safe place for cubs
we wait, tense
we're disappointed
she leaves her [?] loaded by others of us
the holts are evenly spread
about 500 meters apart [?] or so they advertise"
