I know that you stood in line for a long time to buy a ticket to a really short show but uh, we’re going to force you to listen to us. We have a record coming out in a couple weeks, it’s called um, Siamese - I mean, uh, Machina. The machines of James. And uh, this is a new song off that album, it’s called I of the Mourning.

[encore break]
Iha: How we feelin’? Are you feeling okay?
Never Say Never (tease - scattered lyrics over jam)
(BC: I might like you better if we slept together. I might like you better if you wore pleather. There’s something in your eyes that says maybe and that’s never...ever...never ever say never. I might like you better if you hadn’t fucked so many guys. I might like you better if you didn’t have wooden thighs. But I guess that’s okay because I fucked your mother about ten years ago. And just like you, she was a ho, a ho ho ho. Merry Christmas. There’s something in your eyes, yeah there’s something in your eyes. There’s something in your eyes and I got a feeling it’s a big surprise. Never ever ever say never.)
> X.Y.U.
> Never Say Never (tease - lyrics during X.Y.U. outro jam)
[encore break]
BC: Quite frankly, we’re out of riffs, we have no more riffs. We’re out of riffs. There are no more riffs. There’s no more riffs. Yes, you may [unintelligible].
Iha: Thank you.
BC: That’s it, that’s the end of the concert, goodnight, go home. Go away! That’s it, there’s no more. ... (high pitched) “Maybe if we scream James, James’ll come back out and play us a riff.” (normal) No. No. Heh heh heh heh heh. James is too tired, he doesn’t wanna come back out. (high pitched) “No really, if we chant his name, he’ll come back out and play a riff.” (normal) No, no. James is tired. He’s busy studying chemistry. (audience chants for Iha)
We Love You (tease)
BC: Put those house lights on. House lights on. On, on, on! On, put the house lights on, put the house lights on. There you go. That’s it? Those are the house lights? Can we put the disco ball on? Is it possible to put the disco ball on? Heh, that’s it, huh? James, now this is really gonna put you - this is really gonna put you on the spot, this better be good.
Today (tease - Iha plays first 6 notes poorly)
BC: No. That was yesterday, this is tomorrow.
Tristessa (tease - Iha plays main riff)
BC: No, no one knows that one.
Rebel Rebel (tease - Iha plays riff)
We Love You
BC: Alright. Enough with all that gloom shit, now it’s time to have a party! Woo!! We are an internationally known party band. When you wanna smile and have a good time, you think of us. Because we get the funk out.

we’re gonna get so high
we’re gonna reach to the sky
we’re gonna make you wonder why
why
why
when is this concert gonna end?
whyyyyyyyyyyyy

everything’s gonna be okay
alright
okay
alright

i’ll strap on this word to my crooked back
i’ll sharpen my vampire teeth until I can never come back
i am eyes begone
i am poetry removed
i am the summer wind
(screamed) inside her

we love you
we love you
we love you
that’s right, we love you
we love you
we love you
we love you
oh, we love you

now it’s no crime
to play too long
to make albums that are too long
to make anything too long
life is like a tv channel, you know, you can just change it when it gets boring

we’re gonna get so high
we’re gonna reach through the ground
we’re gonna hail satan
and make him come around
we’re gonna kick his ass
and ask him why there’s so many bad metal bands
yeah satan, why?
satan, why?
whyyyy?
if you’re the all powerful devil, why can’t you make better metal music?
because evil should be evil and metal should be metal, you know what I’m saying?

we’re gonna get so high
we’re gonna reach to the sky
we’re gonna make you wonder why...you ever came

BC: Oh yeah, tricked ya. I trick Jimmy all the time. Heh heh heh.

We’re gonna get so high
we’re gonna reach to the sky
you’re gonna walk so far
you’re gonna wonder who you are

we love you
we love you
we love you
we love you (about 18x very fast)

whoa!

we love you (13x)
we love us (4x)
do you love us? (7x)
(screams)

(song ends)

BC: God bless you all and uh, we’re gonna do a tour in April and May so we’ll be back that soon, thank you.
