Influences: THE INFLUENCES GAME HAS GROWN TIRESOME.
NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE OPENING ACT.
HOWEVER, WE WILL CONFESS -
THE CARPENTERS, PIXIES, INTERPOL AND XTC
CONTINUE TO BE INSTRUMENTAL TO THE POWER THAT SUSTAINS THE BAND. MUSIC SAVED US.
IF ALL GOES AS PLANNED,
IT WILL SAVE YOU TOO.

Hooks and melody above all, forever and ever, Amen...Whatever, Ripley are bloody infectious." :
(ALL SONGS BY ALICE RIPLEY)
I SHAPED AND SLAPPED MY THIGHS
BUGS TITTER,
SKITTERING JUST BENEATH THE SPONGY LAYER OF FLESH
STEP IN TIME
DON'T DISTURB THE COMPANY LINE
STATUS QUO TRACED ON A PAPER CUP
LEFT TO YOUR OWN DEVICES I'M AFRAID YOU'D FAIL
NO USE WONDERING ABOUT THE LET DOWN
HAIR FALLS FROM YOUR SHOULDERS,
CASCADING AND CAREFULLY BENT
BUT YOU HAVE NO DEFENSE
DO NOT BLAME YOUR PARENTS
GENERATIONS LOST IN SPACE
NEW JERSEY IS A NICE PLACE TO VACATE
EVERYWHERE IT IS REPLICATED
THE MOLDING OF MINDS
THE DECAY OF INTERESTING ARCHITECTURE
HIGHWAYS TANGLED OVERCOME WITH LONELY
STONY FACED AND DECREPIT
LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE
LOSERS GO BACK HOME AGAIN TO FIND SOMETHING
STYLIZED PHOTOS MARK YOUR ARRIVAL
OUR TOES LINED UP SIDE BY SIDE AS TWENTY PIGLETS
AS I STEER, THE WHEEL TURNS
NODDING OFF, I CROSS THE DOUBLE LINE
I KEEP TELLING YOU EVERYTHING'S FINE
THIS IS HOW I DEFINE IT ALL
RACING THROUGH TIME
RAGING
ALIGNED AND INTENT
IN FACT, AGAIN, BENT
EXPENDITURE OF ALL TENSION
RELEASE
A PRIEST LETS YOU DOWN IN THE END
BONSAI GIRL LITTLE TREE MEANT FOR ME
TOO BIG TO LIFT
TOO BIG TO MOVE
TOO BIG TO TAKE
TOO BIG TO
GROOVE ALONG ON A FAMILY OUTING
KEEP THE GIRL SMALL!
AS INFORMED PARENTS
WE DEFEND OUR RIGHT
TO UP HOLD A DECISION
DRASTIC ACTION HAD TO BE TAKEN
WE DON'T KNOW WHY WE WERE CURSED LIKE THIS - I MEAN BLESSED
HUNCH YOUR SHOULDERS
IN SURPRISE
THROW YOUR ARMS UP
GRIMACE
AVOID THE PRESS
SETTLE FOR LESS
DISABLED MINDS
LEAD TO DIVISION
HIS HANDS TO HIMSELF FOR NOW
AND MAKING LIGHT OF HIMSELF AND HIS GAFFE OF NATIONS
HE PASSED BY WITH A SMILE
BUT IN THE END
GEORGE IS CRAFTY
FOR TO RUB IS TO DENY
TO PAT IS TO CONTROL
THE MAN HAS NO SOUL
FEAR EATS IT
AND LEAVES A HOLE
GEORGE SAYS
YES - KEEP THE LITTLE GIRL WHOLE
SHE'S A BONSAI TREE
SHE RELIES SOLELY ON THE KINDNESS OF ME
PLACE YOUR DREAM ON A PILLOW
WITH PILLS AND POWDERS
DON'T LET IT GROW, THOUGH
PAT IT DOWN
KEEP CONTROL
YOU ARE NO GROWN UP
LOOK ABOUT YOU
CHANGES COMING
SAY GOODBYE
WE'RE THROUGH
HINDISGHT AWARDED
TO LEAD AND GATHER
THE FEW HUNKER DOWN
A BIT OF THE WAY
OUR MINDS PLAY TRICKS
SAYING
HERE COMES A BETTER DAY
IT'S LIKE GROUCHO DOWN HERE
HALF MAST AND CROUCHED
ARE WE GONNA LAST
LIKE YOU DREAMED?
SCREAMING YOUR NAME
ENLIST ME
A WHISPER
COME HITHER
YOU SEND ME
LEND ME A TWIST
WRIST, ARM AND HAND
FINGERS
TREMORS
STRUNG ALONG
LIKE STONES
WILL YOU BE MINE
FOREVER?
YOU MAKE ME THROW UP,
THAT MUCH IS GIVEN
FAR TOO EAGER,
MY LITTLE DOG AND PONY SHOW
BELIEVER
IN THE END, A MINOR LEAGUER
TO SCOFF AT YOUR CIRCUS
AND EAT SPINAL CRACKERS
FOR COUCHES AND SLACKERS
STACKED UP ON THE SIDEWALK
ONE LAST ELITIST
A PURIST,
GETS THE JIST
I'LL SEE YOU LATER
IN A JACKET
AND PANTS

sometimes your face reminds me of a certain gorgeous place i've never been before - a dear unopened door with a halo/is this our first delicious kiss/and with a start you take off outtasite/i wanna ride your rocketship/so give me lip and start me trippin/
Ripley's twisty ear candy features amazing female vocals and hook-filled melodies. It's crunchy slut pop from another planet.
I FEEL LIKE I'M SCREAMING
HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON, SARAH?
Smile!
(Why the all caps?)
WHO SPENDS 4500 SHELLS
ON A REFRIGERATOR FOR WINE?
AH, THE EASE OF SPENDING ONLINE
I'D LIKE TO SHAKE THAT HAND, IF I CAN
THE GAP IS WIDENING
PUNDITS VS. CRUSHED BENEATH MY THUMB
I LONG TO DISTRUST ADJECTIVES,
LIKE HEMINGWAY
I LONG TO JUMP THE RIVER,
NOT THE SHARK
YOU CREATE A FEELING IN MY LIVER
OF REMEMBERING THAT DAY IN THE PARK -
I THINK IT WAS THE FOURTH OF JULY
TWISTED AROUND THE BRANCHES
OF A SYCAMORE BEHIND YOU
WAS A TUNE
IT CAUGHT MY EYE
IN THE LIGHT
I HEARD IT, TOO
FROM A DISTANT OPEN WINDOW
A LULLABY PIPED INTO MY EAR
NOT SOFT, NO -
BUT LOUD AND CLEAR
AND THE DOCTOR SAID -
A HAITIAN DIVORCE IS THE ONLY SOLUTION
DON'T WASTE A REGRET -
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE ENDING
YET I'M SCREAMING AND BARE
MAKING LIGHT OF HIS MAJOR GAFFE OF NATIONS
HE FANCIES HIMSELF TO BE
QUITE A COCKTAIL CHATTER
THE ART OF PODIUM POSING
PUNCHLINES
WORKING GESTURES
A TEAM OF FOOLS
NICE TIE -
WHAT'S A GOOD FIGHT?
ONLY HE AND GOD KNOWS WHAT'S RIGHT!
HE'S ABOVE APOLOGIES!
HIS CONSCIENCE IS SLEEPING SOUNDLY!
NOTHING IS WORTH LOSING FACE
NARROW EYES LIKE HEADLIGHTS ON A JEEP -
WE NEED DEAD TO HONOR
COMING HOME IN BOXES
DRAPED IN BLUE RED AND WHITE
IF YOU NEGLECT YOUR ART AND IGNORE YOUR SOUL
FEAR EATS IT AND LEAVES A HOLE
GET OUT
YOU LOSE
WE CHOOSE
WHAT DO YOU SUBSCRIBE TO?
HATRED?
EXEMPLARY BEHAVIOR?
GENERAL MALAISE?
FEAR?
THE UNDOING OF THE FABRIC OF LIVING?
YOU'VE ALL BUT SURROUNDED YOURSELF
GARBAGE NETS
MENTAL DISTURBANCES
DECAY
RUST
JUSTICE KNEW.
BEST OF LUCK TO YOU
INCORRECT SPELLING
IS A BLACK AND WHITE END MANIFESTATION
AN EPIDEMIC
STEMMING INTO OBLIVION
RESULTING FROM A LIFETIME ATTACHMENT
TO THE CULTIVATION OF FEAR -
AND A GENERAL LACK OF COMMITTMENT
TO THE FOLLOW THROUGH
