Negativland - Smelly Water lyrics
rate meWow! What a team!<br />
Right. Pleasure being together like this.<br />
We've a real challange on today, right.<br />
Two days to crack the formula of how to sell<br />
Water plants across Europe and right here in the<br />
UK by direct marketing.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Ok, on the elective side: fear, fear.<br />
You make her brush her teeth, you tell her not to<br />
Talk to strangers, so why do you put arsenic in her<br />
Orange juice?<br />
It's quite a powerful proposition, quite a powerful catch.<br />
Yes, so say it.<br />
Another cup of java.<br />
Stinko. Blotto.<br />
Another cup...<br />
Have smelly water.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
You see me as....<br />
You see me as.... as, as, as...<br />
Are you on? Are you switched on?<br />
Another cup of java.<br />
Get me some nickels, Barney.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Give me a cup of coffee.<br />
Drip, drip, drip, drip.<br />
You better settle for a hamburger.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Another cup of java.<br />
Give me a cup of coffee.<br />
You must like our coffee.<br />
It stinks.<br />
It had a distinct odor. Distinct odor.<br />
Drip, drip...<br />
I notice you're drinking your seventh hamburger.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Well, um. Well, um...<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Well, um.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Well, um, here in our part of the country we have<br />
A problem with our water.<br />
Drip, drip.<br />
It's that our water smells; we have smelly water.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
We have smelly water.<br />
Drip, drip.<br />
I notice you're drinking a hamburger.<br />
Drip.<br />
Another cup of java.<br />
Barney, get me some nickels.<br />
Anything else?<br />
Barney.<br />
Anything else?<br />
Yeah, what else?<br />
Yeah, what else? Java.<br />
Drip.<br />
Yeah, what else you got today but coffee?<br />
How about anything else?<br />
Give me a cup of coffee.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Another cup of java. Java.<br />
You see me as...<br />
Java, java.<br />
You see me as...<br />
Java, java.<br />
You see me as...<br />
Java, java.<br />
As, as, as, as...<br />
It stinks.<br />
It had a distinct odor.<br />
A magic looking glass. Who does?<br />
Libido.<br />
They're told to watch channel 4 at eight o'clock in the morning.<br />
Stinko.<br />
They're going to watch this TV commercial and discover....<br />
Stinko.<br />
...the collected impurities in the water.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Drink, drink, drink.<br />
Drip, drip, drip...<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
And words will appear.<br />
... goes the water.<br />
Stinko.<br />
Drip, drip, drip...<br />
You could have arsenic...<br />
... goes the water.<br />
Stinko.<br />
...asbestos...<br />
Drip, drip, drip, goes the water.<br />
Stinko.<br />
...all the nasties...<br />
Drip, drip, drip, goes the water.<br />
.. all the nasties in the water, suddenly appearing.<br />
Stinko, blotto, free love...<br />
Arsenic...<br />
Bathtub gin...<br />
...asbestos....<br />
...monkey glands, Karl Marx...<br />
...arsenic..<br />
...cubisms, slits,<br />
...asbestos...<br />
...neurotic...<br />
...all the nasties...<br />
...heterosexual.<br />
My, my, my, what an eager little mind. You won't need some of these<br />
Words for months and months.<br />
Well, um. Well, um. um, um, um,...<br />
It's that our water smells, we have smelly water. and, and.<br />
It's that our water smells, we have smelly water.<br />
And by judicous questioning we have to find and assosiate the kind of<br />
People who are interested in this.<br />
Drip...<br />
It's trickle-down theory.<br />
The TV-campaign, several TV campaigns. What an attention grabber!<br />
Sensational. Sensational.<br />
Great. Brilliant.<br />
It's trickle-down theory.<br />
Target people on the sort of water they want.<br />
It's trickle-down theory.<br />
And the sort of house they've got, what sort of family. Yes.<br />
Water pollution is certainly topical.<br />
We have smelly water.<br />
Drip.<br />
We've tried lots and lots of products...<br />
Drip.<br />
...the product does what it says it's going to do, and, um...<br />
Drip.<br />
...it does all of the things all of the other products...<br />
Drip.<br />
...said that they were going to do and never did.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
So....<br />
You see me as...<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
What are you gonna do?<br />
You see me as...<br />
What are you gonna do?<br />
You see me as...<br />
What are you gonna do? It's done.<br />
As, as, as.<br />
What do you mean, it's done?<br />
Drink drink drink drink<br />
Drink drink drink drink<br />
Drink drink drink drink<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Drink drink drink drink<br />
Of course, I've tried lots and lots of products.<br />
Drink drink drink drink<br />
Drink drink drink drink<br />
I've tried lots and lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots<br />
Lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots of products.<br />
Drink drink drink drink<br />
Drink drink drink drink<br />
Drink drink drink drink<br />
Another cup of java.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Of course, this is a very difficult problem for most of us out here.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Another cup of java.<br />
Run of the mill. Pardon.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Another cup of java.<br />
It had a distinct odor.<br />
The cities' a song.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Another cup of java.<br />
Drink, drink, drink.<br />
I'll send ya the bill.<br />
You must like our coffee.<br />
Drip, drip, drip...<br />
It stinks.<br />
...goes the water.<br />
You must like our coffee.<br />
It stinks.<br />
You must like our coffee.<br />
It stinks.<br />
Drip, drip, drip, goes the water.<br />
It stinks.<br />
Give me a cup of coffee.<br />
It stinks.<br />
Another cup of java.<br />
Drip, drip, drip...<br />
Anything else?<br />
.. goes the water.<br />
Yeah, but it aint on the menu. Barney.<br />
And it aint gonna be.<br />
Drip, drip, drip....<br />
You'd better settle for a seventh cup.<br />
...goes the water.<br />
OK. With onions.<br />
Drip, drip, drip...<br />
Startling! Startling!<br />
Back, back to real purity.<br />
In other words, when a disaster happens, we hit the press<br />
With an ad about purity of water.<br />
Drip, drip, drip.<br />
Are you pregnant again? Yes!<br />
Babies, babies, right.<br />
Motive, we can use as a motive, mother and chlid thing.<br />
Startling!<br />
Drink, drink, drink.<br />
This is a special message for the Larsen family:<br />
Your daugher, Lauren will be five years old on<br />
April second, 1995. In this time she may have drunk<br />
350 gallons of water. Wouldn't you like the water Lauren<br />
Drinks to be as crystal clear and pure as can be...<br />
Drip, drip, drip...<br />
.. for only five cents a gallon?<br />
... goes the water
