HELLO, HELLO... Abestos baby bombs blasting blue scavengers...

[L French <lrfrench>]

Given the first critical consensus, which is usually wrong, it appears that TWELVE may be Patti's worst reviewed album since RADIO ETHIOPIA...  My own opinion is that like RE it's one of Patti's most impressive efforts...  
   
  At least everyone seems to agree that Patti's version of  "Smells Like Teen Spirit"  with Patti's poem Our Jargon Muffles the Drum interpolated, is a masterful piece of work... 
   
   
  SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT (Nirvana) 
   
  Load up on guns
Bring your friends
Its fun to lose
And to pretend
Shes overboard
Myself assured
I know I know
A dirty word 
   
  Hello, Hello, Hello, 
  Hello, Hello, Hello 
   
  With the lights out its less dangerous
Here we are now 
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious 
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yeah 
   
  Im worse at what I do best 
And for this gift I feel blessed 
Our little group has always been 
And always will until the end 
   
  Hello, Hello, Hello, 
  Hello, Hello, Hello 
   
  With the lights out its less dangerous 
Here we are now 
Entertain us 
I feel stupid and contagious 
Here we are now 
Entertain us 
A mulatto 
An albino 
A mosquito 
My libido 
Yeah 
   
  And I forget 
Just what it takes 
And yet I guess it makes me smile 
I found it hard 
Its hard to find 
Oh well, whatever, never mind 
   
  Hello, Hello, Hello, 
  Hello, Hello, Hello
   
  the empty hand of innocence transfusing street of the sorrows and children of the wood hounded shredding all veils unwinding all sheets of the dead world droning overturning tables laden with silver sacrificial birds beating goatskin drums advancing with hands outstretched and we keep filling them with mercury nitrate asbestos baby bombs blasting blue scavengers picking through the ashes of city of the dead exploited raging children of the mills children of the junkyard malls trafficked children high risk asylum children orphaned abused shining children damned and gifted blind scorned and beautiful toughs  funneling  traumatized  hungry  for  lullabies  sucked through the shafts sleepy illiterate fuzzy little rats haunted paint snuffers stoned out of their shaved heads forgotten foraging sex slaves sleeping urine and excrement gutter saints mystical children foul mouth glassy eyed hallucinating 
   
  Hello, Hello, Hello, 
  Hello, Hello, Hello
   
  With the lights out its less dangerous 
Here we are now 
Entertain us 
I feel stupid and contagious 
Here we are now 
Entertain us 
A mulatto 
An albino 
A mosquito 
My libido 
A mulatto, 
  My nirvana 
  Yeah
