Track listing

No.	Title	Length
1.	"George III"	1:50
2.	"Bad Medicine"	3:30
3.	"A Hybrid Creature of Greed, Ignorance and Powers of Comprehension Plays a Vaulted Drum Kit. The Playing Corresponds Completely to the Event. There Are Entrances and Exits. And There Is Gravitation, Where It Is Needed - Tears for Example"	2:22
4.	"There There Betty Betty"	2:29
5.	"The Greed of a Clarinet That Is Puffy from Crying Gets Tossed in Butter and Spread by Notes. This Process Depresses the Entire Orchestra So Much That It Only Plays Behind a Golden Partition. The Partition Is Decorated With Semi-Precious Attractive Diamonds"	4:41
6.	"Vile Vile Grass"	2:31
7.	"A Sow With an Abbess's Bonnet Is Sitting on Four Rock-Objects and Singing Along With Them. The Song Sounds Like a Cheater, And Is Imprisoned in a Striped Toy Box Because Its Aims Are Not Recognizable. On Top of the Box Is a Head That Could Be Elvis's, If He Had Survived This"	5:48
8.	"Mother"	2:16
9.	"Out of a Trombone That Is Divided Lengthways by a Partition of Gold Sound Seven Violins of Dynamite That Are Cut Sideways into Thin Slices. They Are Played by the Thrown Out Ex-Members of a Very Bad Band and Blown Up"	4:17
10.	"In My Baby's Ruth, Sandy's Drums With David & Shadwell, Filthy Lucre"	15:02
