The Songs
Real Title: New Generation
Known Title: The New Generation
What I Call It: New Generation
My Thoughts: This is one stupid song but it’s the one that got them to stardom which is weird.
Info: Since he didn't own a sequencer at that time, Jonny triggered his Roland U20 to play the bass line of this song from a painstakingly programmed drum machine. This song is significant one of only two vocal contributions ever made by Colin. He ranted like Captain Beefheart for the verses while Thom sang the choruses.
Lyrics:
Boo
Check it out
Here comes the big bad, fat man
He's going to huff & puff & blow you out
Sooner or later
You're going to kiss the ground he walks
Open up and let the good man in
Here comes the big man
And build a lake of your bones
Send my kids in the door
And the killer comes down the lair with 16 million greeting cards
Welcome the new generation (Hi!)
It’s a Colour addiction (Soda!)
Welcome the new generation, yeah
Colour addiction (Bubble!)
Eight men play god
The White men steal our country
Steal our children I ask myself
I'd like to Teach the world to sing a brand new harmony
Lets Chew them up & spit them out
& burn them with the trees
I want to paint the world with ?coats?
I think that I may have to ?force?
Blech!
Welcome the new generation
It’s a Colour addiction (Ah!)
Welcome the new generation, yeah
It’s a Colour addiction
Smile for the cameras, boys and girls
huh
Welcome the new generation (Come to the new generation, boys and girls in Europe)
know the Colour addiction (a whole new doorway of opportunity)
Welcome the new generation (Just step right up & buy your ticket)
Cool, Colour addiction
