HASHISH
(music by Thurston Moore,
lyrics by Radieux Radio and Thurston Moore)
Day or night no one knows
Feel the full effect of this dose
Is it day or night
I just don't know
Hashish eater please be patient
Feel it girl our hallucintion
Feel the full effect of this dose
Its in you girl yeh my repose
She's the haven of my soul
Is it day or night oh we just don't know
She's my only friend, my soul hope
Hashish scarab come tonight
Will you bring your elusive light
Your love is all that i am needing now
Your drug is all that i am feeling now

Cantaloupe
(music and lyrics by Thurston Moore)
on the first day he fed you a star
a glowing mirror inside of a spoon
a tiny sun dancing like a raw egg
reflections of you soft and blue girl
we're pulsing blue blue to orange
dripping fire music down yr back
floating up thru yr skin
white gardenias in yr eyes
on the second day we drew streaks
of lightning on yr tele
fingers drip dipped in paint
of cantaloupe and licorice
we're pulsing blue blue to orange
dripping fire music down yr back
floating up thru yr skin
white gardenias in yr eyes
on the third day you came back
silver lace around yr neck
ankles wrists and around yr hips
reflections of you soft and blue girl
we're pulsing blue blue to orange
dripping fire music down yr back
we're floating up out of yr skin
white gardenias in yr eyes

Breath
(Music and lyrics by Thurston Moore)
A charming obsession
Where trees are so beyond
Your bloodlust grey mist
And nature's elegant song
Cracked ice and mud
I will make this book from breath
And I will drink and fight
For the noises in your head
Holy action shot in the blue grey dust
Loudness and light at night
Black mist on the northwest zone
Witchcraft which God has asked
for you to keep on keeping on
A thrashing, darling
Severely deserved
Teenage is nothing, baby
Blindfolds stitched in fur
Holy action shot in the blue grey dust
Black angels riding in on rails of dust
A charming obsession
Where trees are so beyond
Your bloodlust grey mist
And nature's elegant song
Cracked ice and mud
I will make this book from breath
And I will drink and fight
For the noises in your head
Holy action shot in the blue grey dust
Black angels riding in on rails of dust
Black angels flying in on rails of dust

(Music by Thurston Moore,
lyrics by Radieux Radio)
Lights and shadows of this place
Where I swear by all these saints
Calm rapture on her face
Salt skin summer shine
Vasto sea over me
Bottles into gems blue and green
If you happen to see this girl
Return her to the sea and me
I swear by all the saints tonight
The curious epochs of my life
What’s come over me
Is that you will stay by my side

calligraphy
(music by Thurston Moore,
lyrics by Radieux Radio)
stage sets situated in a box with many views
her endless dimensions.
then combine her time and moves
it's not reality we're permanently free
evoke something fugitive: unfold this life with me
improvise around her essences of chi
harnessing nature itself with your calligraphy
figure in moonlight, darkness in landscape
emphasis of disappearing deep into my space
it's not reality we're permanently free
evoke something fugitive: unfold this life with me
marking this moment your speed, your spirit girl
moving ink all around
your canvas is my world
broader masses
broader shapes
movements combining
broader masses
broader shapes
your forms take hold of me

Locomotives
(Music by Thurston Moore,
lyrics by Radieux Radio)
we are here to come in peace
on electric carriage wanderings
crossing borders we don't see
destination foreign and free
we all belong on this journey
and we take nothing and live in peace
the band in grace we do receive
we take nothing only liberty
and just one photo if you please
of shapes of clouds we can not keep
we are here to come in peace
we come here to make believe
you on the platform ravishing
electric carriage wanderings
locomotives kiss tenderly
We arrive foreign and free
crossing borders we don't see
locomotives arriving

Dreamers Work
(Music by Thurston Moore,
lyrics by Radieux Radio)
Ponderous, wondrous and locked away
Still life master and his peaceful face
Those days on, posers gone
Poets close, work til dawn
Their new gods, his sweet lord
Within nature, a deep accord
A dreamer's work, decades through
Held the dream up and made it true
Year after year a natural force
Their attitudes or an open door
Year after year a new way
The passages an extended stay
Year after year revelations
Dante, baudelaire sublime creations
Year after year they are learners
Beginner's again they're the page turners
Year after year perfect lines
Books of truths with broken spines

They Believe In Love (When They Look At You)
(Music by Thurston Moore,
lyrics by Radieux Radio)
Where do we go after long good-byes
Heart torn up when we’re not side by side
How would they know the haven of the soul
You say you don’t know hey well I know
They believe in love when they look at you
It's a profound wonder a revolution a truth
And they're drunk with joy when they look at you
You fill a heart that is open the heart that is true
Loveliest sight my mind flies towards you
They believe in love when they look at you

Sonic Youth is one of those bands where you easily run out of superlatives to describe what they created. This could've easily come off as a cynical cash-grab by a band that had broken up 11 years prior to the release of this record, but that's not what this is. Some of my favourite Sonic Youth instrumentals.
