credits

released January 1, 2004

1. The Anonymity Ball (Prologue)
Bin ich ein Gott? Mir wird so licht!

2. The Anonymity Ball
At the Anonymity Ball/I cannot see you but I hear you call/I get higher, as you get older/I get higher, as you get older/I get high

3. Money Money
Money can get you high

4. Gunshot Boogie (Prelude and Boogie)
The forty-ninth of the great forty-eight. From an original score to the 1925 silent film ‘The Gold Rush’ by Charles Chaplin

5. Lady Blue
Why beat this cross into the ground?/Why hate the lost and loathe the found?/There’s reasons, child - there’s reasons, see/But what they are has beaten me, said Lady

6. Extreme Functionalism and the Cadaver
Coffins. Coffins filled with earth. From an original score to the 1921 silent film ‘Nosferatu’ by F W Murnau

7. The Fat-ass Lexicographer
Don’t forget to feed the mule. From an original score to the 1925 silent film ‘The Gold Rush’ by Charles Chaplin

8. I’ll be gone
I must be blind or mad or dead/To keep these pathways in my head/My sainted father told me long ago

9. Harmony Budge and the Pixie Biscuits
One way of getting breakfast. From an original score to the 1925 silent film ‘The Gold Rush’ by Charles Chaplin

10. Kitty she loves me
She thinks I’m a good boy /But I’m not a good boy

11. Alchemy
He who believes will live. From an original score to the 1926 silent film ‘Faust’ by F W Murnau

12. The Town of Rotting Bricks
The dogs first hear the cry/and the pigs first smell the blood/but the moon first meets the eye/of the newborn infant god

13. How do you elves have your tea?
A record of an event

14. A Kind of Innocence
I am travelling/Into a time of playful forgetting/And even if a thousand flowers/Bloom over my bones/I will not be moved
