The New Ugly
The Tydon Docks

I met a girl
The other night
She was so ugly
She was a fright
I took her home
Turned out the light
And in the dark she was outta sight!

Now she's by baby
And she's alright
We have some fun
Late at night
She is so ugly
In the light
But in the dark she is outta sight!

Come on baby
Let's go to bed
You can take that bag off your head
Got a new ugly
Appetite
Cos in the dark you are outta sight

You're ugly
But baby I love you
You're ugly
And I'm ugly too
We're ugly
Let's turn out the light
We'll both be outta sight

The New Ugly

verse1
Sound is an erector set
Try something they haven't yet
But chaos draws the charlatans
Let strictures rule the structure plans

chorus
Beauty
Is in the eye of the
Emancipated, free,
Elite company

verse 2
Let your modern voices sing
Sufficient cause for rioting
Because the root is rotten let
Us fashion a new alphabet

verse 3
Nature will not be our lord
Despite the sweetness of concords
The new throws off his governance
Emancipates the dissonance

chorus 2
Relativity
Was more than just a dream
Relativity
Combinatoriality

ROW LYRIC
out with old in with new
up with odd nothing true
we alone rule by will

Spanish New Ugly

(El son es un juguete Meccano)
(Hagan algo nunca oído jamás)
(Pero a los bromistas atrae el caos)
(Pues orden y regla os guiarán)

(La belleza y el embeleso)
(Están en los ojos de)
(Los libres, los liberados,)
(Los más élite)

(Canten vuestras voces modernas)
(Que causen un gran tumulto)
(Las raíces se pudren; haremos)
(Un nuevo alfabeto culto)

(La naturaleza no nos dominará)
( A pesar de lo atractivo de la unión)
(Lo nuevo sus grilletes rechazará)
(Liberando la discordancia del son)

(La Relatividad)
(Más de un sueño, Más…)

(Afuera lo Viejo, venga lo nuevo)
(Aquí con lo raro, nada verdadero)

Translation of Spanish Translation
Sound is an Erector set
Create something never heard before
Alas, chaos brings out the jokers (fools)
Rule and order shall guide you

Beauty and wonder
Are in the eyes of
Those who are free, freed

Let your modern voices sing
May they cause a great tumult
The roots are rotting, let us make
A new _________ alphabet

Nature will not control us
Despite the allure of harmony
The new casts off his shackles
Liberating sound’s dissonance

Realtivity
More than a dream, more…
Realtivity
Combinatoriality

Out with the old, in with the new
Here with the strange, nothing true
Through sheer force of will, we finish first

lovemaking evangelist
knows he's a bedroom genius
passionate mustache rides
and a tatooed penis called

THE NEW UGLY
THE NEW UGLY

it may not be a sight to see
but you will feel blissful

(instrumental solo)

THE NEW UGLY
THE NEW UGLY

it may not be a sight to see
but you will feel blissful

lingering all night
carving out new ways to sin
make it happen in the starlight
until the bloom is shimmering

love making evangelist
knows he's a bedroom genius
drives it home backside slide
with his tatooed penis called

THE NEW UGLY
THE NEW UGLY

it may not be a sight to see
but you will feel blissfully

The New Ugly - Paco del Stinko

I must be from Wisconsin 'cos I eat a lot of cheese
I pop my pills and snivel a lot oh please don't hurt me please
My tantrum worked 'cos I'm a jerk I got extra days to polish
But truth be told I pre-package so I have more time to frolic

I'm the guy and she's the girl we sing real nice together
It doesn't matter what you say we know that nobody is better
We ain't no fools ignoring the rules 'cos we know that we'll get a pass
Then I'll have a beer and she'll have some wine and we'll share a haughty laugh

New York City is the best the rest of the world is for hicks
I rock real hard even on the go but must include my kids
I'm a family man I don't give a damn when I give you the goo-goo talk
I could make my own Thick As A Brick and write the words down in chalk

We don't even live in a cave they don't have them down by the bay
And he can do all of the singing 'cos I only want to play
Neandrathal or cro-mag man can count divide by three
And we don't care if we lose as long as the slide rule says it's keen

They might be familiar to you but I...am the new ugly

I don't know where I come from and neither do you
But you know the second you hear me 'cos my voice is like a cartoon
Psychedelic but I ain't no relic when I blippety blap to the moon
I'm so clever and so cute that you'll ignore my auto-tune (give me a cookie)

Nick Soma - who the hell is he?

I'm another Californian drinking wine and a chillin'
Please don't find it boring but I worship Bobby Dylan
I'm teachin' up all the kids about science and learnin' stuff
I'd love to ride the boxcars but I'm sure it's way too rough

They might be familiar to you but I...am the new ugly

You can call me Petey or Pedro I suppose
Then I'll give a snort and a snicker as I look down my nose
I'm so unconventional I play my guitar upside down a lot
Off course that means it's backwards but I don't give a squat

Somebody says that I eat kittens and I admit it's true
But nobody seems to give a damn 'cos I play a mean kazoo
I sing and strum and play the drums but I don't know how to twirl the sticks
But that just doesn't matter 'cos they're always in mono in the mix

My hair is grey and gonzo it's the humid Portland air
Or maybe I'm in Washington I don't know and really don't care
I used to be friends with an albatross now I work alone
My Theremin broke a while ago but I can still clunk on my xylophone

You can call me Ray or John or whichever you prefer
I like to play my penis 'cos my hands are covered with fur
Na-na-na and a oi-oi-oi skiddle-diddle-dum-de-do
I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm sure it's better than you

They might be familiar to you but I...am the new ugly

Nick Soma - The New Ugly

Featuring Nick M. Soma on vocals, darbouka, djembe, bongos, ibo drum,
egg shaker, handclaps, glass lampshade*, papercrumplophone, cabasa,
caxixi, vibraslap, flex-a-tone**, Celtic magic rattle, Deku sticks,
and toy xylophone (barely audible, during the last verse).

I sat home alone playing sarrusophone***
Then came that thing on the tube
It showed a world so horrid to me
I had to quit my playing and stare...

And as I walked the streets with eyes wide open,
I saw that you could find 'em anywhere

The New Pretty, no scars, no distorted faces
In fact they're polished to the max
The New Ugly indeed, walking like zombies
The kind with smoothly outlined backs

I gazed at the TV, I couldn't stop watching
I was in a state of terror and shock
How do they survive? They don't even eat!
And they've already invaded my block

The New Pretty, no scars, no distorted faces
In fact they're polished to the max
The New Ugly indeed, walking like zombies
The kind with smoothly outlined backs

I wish they were sweaty and pimpled and fat,
But they're perfect androids
No wrinkles, no crinkles, the expression on their faces
Is nothing but a giant void

The New Pretty, no scars, no distorted faces
In fact they're polished to the max
The New Ugly indeed, walking like zombies
The kind with smoothly outlined backs

The New Ugly, no moles, no blemishes, nothing
Equipped with an artificial smile
How do they survive? I think they don't even breathe.
I just hope that one day, they'll be out of style.

----------------------------------------------------

* That big gong thing you can hear at the very end of the song (and during the choruses, but it's buried in the mix).

** Best instrument ever!

*** In case you don't know what a sarrusophone is, here's a little explanation for you. The sarrusophone was invented back in the 19th century as a substitute for the contrabassoon while marching. It sounds... well, let's say, not very pleasing to most ears. Because of its sound and also its huge size, it fell out of favor with most musicians during the first half of the 20th century and is rarely used today. A notable exception is They Might Be Giants' "Older" (the Mink Car version, that is.)
Oh, and no, I have never played that instrument.

Balance Lost

Would you be beautiful if you weren't fat?
Did you vote Republican or Democrat?
People 'round here better change their attitude
It's rude and I'm coming back
With some scissors to cut your hair
Save your skin with Ambre Solaire
Everybody's gonna stop and stare
As I burn those issues of Vanity Fair, fuck yeah.

I've lived in towns down on the plains
I've lived in villages up in the hills
I've lived in cities that were nice and clean
I've lived in cities with terrible smells
I don't understand the new ugly
I don't want you to judge me
What you get ain't what you see
I don't care if you disagree

You'll need more than a pretty face
If you're gonna justify your place
What you consider to be wrong today
By next year will be replaced

The New Ugly
by Rabid Garfunkel

She was a pearl
My gone-away girl
Six feet away
All the time

The last thing she said
In a note best unread
"I'm gonna leave you
Before I go"

My gone-away girl, my pearl
She walks behind the vale
Her body lies there still
So pale, so pale

(note: the bass sound is vocals, the guitar sound is xylophone through guitar amp)

(This song is about the INTERNET and technology and how it is redefining the expression of ourselves. People present a happy, perfect persona online [particularly Facebook, etc], but it isn't so pretty, is it? They hide the boring, the sad, the emotional, in favor of cultivating a more perfect persona. [Ironic that I've used technology to make percussion and vocals sound like electro-pop, right?] And so, what is ugly if everyone is perfect online? Perhaps the old ugly is the new beauty.)

perfect happy faces everywhere you look
countless pages of them in a boundless book
just like magazines, they're so beautiful

in person you don't have the same type of shine
you seem so depressed but you looked just fine
i prefer to keep you as a friend online

this is the new ugly

if you close your eyes
i'll show you what i'm made of
this is no disguise
it's not to be afraid of
flying high above on the current of love


if we love ourselves more than cold machines
if we rise above the and find our self-esteem
if we stay grounded we can also stay free

everything we do and we everything say
are floating all around like needles in the hay
waiting to explode, be careful where you stray
oh oh oh oh oh
o oh oh oh oh

realistic photos and realistic dreams
hidden from the world behind white and blue beams
real live people bound to LCD screens

in the cloud everybody is the same.......

i find new ugly every day
i look for nature in decay
i hunt for slimy, scummy smells
i see when something isn't well
i notice crumbling and cracks
i stare at moms with broken backs
i look for ugly every day
i think it's beautiful that way

i look for 'tato bugs
and shiny slugs
and rotten toes
and boogered nose

i find new ugly every day
i look for faces in dismay
i look for wrinkles, warts and scars
i look for people hit by cars
i look for ugly every day
i think it's beautiful that way

new ugly every day
in toilets and bidets
i stop and listen from my stall
the ugly echoes off the wall
i look for ugly every day
i think it's beautiful that way

ugly chords
i want more
ugly don't you ever change for me

The New U G L Y
The New U G L Y

Hit the back of my head with a water balloon
scattered when I turned around
told your friends that you stood your ground
but I didn’t back down
I didn’t back down
No I didn’t back down

You’re dejected
because you have no power
You’re the new ugly
run away little cowards

Unsupervised and undisciplined
you run amok like animals
summertime got nothing to do
just wasting your time
wasting your time
you’re wasting your life

Eyes cast down you scatter like bugs
no remorse for your actions
wandering streets you’ll never leave
Fools die young, it’s okay with me
It’s okay with me

Maybe I’m too old
my aimless days are done
but walking to the store
shouldn’t be dangerous

The New Ugly
by Ross Durand (y en Espanol por Carlo Bruno)

Well you open up your mouth and your brain falls out
And we all get to hear what you’ve been thinking about
And we don’t like it - not at all
And then you say that this country’s free
So you can say what you want to, but so can we
And this speech of yours - I just can’t abide

Tell me - another thing about the negroe
Tell me that we can’t bring him all the places we go
And I’ll tell you that your old view is the new ugly
Yeah I tell you that your old view is the new ugly

Well your make up’s on and yer hair’s done right
You get to talk to us all on the news tonight
If news - is what you still call it
You say you’re fair and you’re balanced but from what I can tell
I’d say you’re fair at best, and your balance is hell
You lean so far to the right - I think you’re fallin’

Tell me boys shouldn’t kiss boys on the TV
Tell me they should keep it to themselves for the good of the country
And I’ll tell you that your old view is the new ugly
And I’ll tell you that your old view is the new ugly

What yer saying is ugly but worse to me
Is all the people who say they agree
I wish I couldn’t see the new ugly
And it’s the true kinda ugly cause it ain’t skin deep
It comes outta you whenever you speak
It goes straight to the bone
I’ll be sober in the morning

I wish you knew that your old view is the new ugly
I wish you knew that your old view is the new ugly

El Nuevo Feo

En Espanol por Carlo Bruno

Esta canción hace referencia a las noticias recientes en los Estados Unidos. Uno implicó un dueño de un equipo de baloncesto profesional de decir cosas muy racistas, otro implicado un ranchero en los centrales estados Unidos diciendo cosas muy racistas. Además, hay una estación de noticias aquí se llama FOX News que se caracteriza por ser muy americano ala derecha. Algunos de los hosts en esa estación - mujeres de mediana edad lindo - tenían una reacción negativa cuando un jugador de fútbol americano abiertamente gay besó a su novio en la televisión cuando se le pidió unirse a un equipo profesional. Tal vez usted ha oído hablar de estas cosas , tal vez usted no tiene, pero eso es lo que impulsó a esta canción.

Usted abre su boca y su cerebro se cae
Y todos la oportunidad de escuchar lo que usted ha estado pensando en
Y no nos gusta. No nos gusta en absoluto
Y entonces usted dice que este país es libre
Así que usted puede decir lo que quiere , pero nosotros también podemos hacerlo
Y este discurso suyo, simplemente no puedo soportarlo

Dime otra cosa sobre la gente negra
Dime que no podemos traerlos todos los lugares que vamos
Y te diré que tu viejo punto de vista es el nuevo feo
Te diré que tu viejo punto de vista es el nuevo feo

Bueno tu maquillaje está encendido y el cabello se ve bien
Tienes la oportunidad de hablar con todos nosotros en las noticias de la televisión esta noche
Si la noticia es lo que todavía lo llama
Usted dice que usted es justo y está equilibrada, pero por lo que puedo decir
Yo diría que usted es medio y su saldo no es bueno
Usted se inclina hasta ahora a la derecha creo que está cayendo

Dime chicos no deben besar a los niños en la televisión
Dime que deben mantener a sí mismos por el bien del país
Y te diré que tu viejo punto de vista es el nuevo feo
Y te diré que tu viejo punto de vista es el nuevo feo

Lo que usted dice es feo, pero lo que es peor para mí
Es todas las personas que dicen que están de acuerdo
Ojalá que no podía ver el nuevo feo
Y es la verdad un poco feo porque no es cómo te ves
Sale de usted cada vez que usted habla
Va directo al hueso
Voy a estar sobrio por la mañana

Me gustaría que supieras que tu viejo punto de vista es el nuevo feo
Me gustaría que supieras que tu viejo punto de vista es el nuevo feo
