==Press Release==
"This record will give people a peak into the kind of things that influence us musically," explains Buzz Osborne. "We REALLY like all of these songs along with the bands who actually wrote this stuff because first and foremost we are HUGE music fans."
In a decidedly Melvins approach to a covers album, the band not only selected a unique assortment of songs to cover, ranging from Roxy Music's "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" to Queen's "Best Friend," they also enlisted several friends to take part including Mudhoney's Mark Arm joining them for The Scientists' "Set It On Fire" and Neurosis' Scott Kelly pitching in on a cover of Venom's "Warhead."
While the release is billed as a proper Melvins' album (featuring the line-up of Osborne, Dale Crover, Jared Warren and Coady Willis), there are a handful of songs recorded as the Melvins Lite incarnation of the band (Osborne, Crover and Trevor Dunn): "Female Trouble" (Divine a.k.a. John Waters), "Timothy Leary Lives" (Pop-O-Pies) and "Romance By Tales of Terror" (Tales of Terror).

With Teeth

Fureon: Lyrics meaning

"With Teeth" – 2:25

Originally from '''''[[Lysol (album)|Lysol]]''''', 1992 on [[Boner Records]].

==Lyrics==
You've got the part that's living now

It's a tiny bit nasty

But it's a part now just the same

Have you the time to make it right

Lord knows I'm gonna let it fly

I know it's not very evil

But you've just got to learn to let it go

Sometimes when the heart beats wide

You can take it on the toe

Like siz the well known one-a

Like siz the well known one

-----------------------------------------

(alternate interpretation)

You got the part that's living now

It's a tiny bit nasty

But it's a part that necessary

And you've time to make it right

Lord knows, I'm not the living light

I know it's not for me, your heart

But you've just got to learn to make it real

Sometimes the heart keeps watch

Take on the doves

Likes is the world on water

Likes is a well known war

Likes is the world on water

Likes is a well known war

==Meaning==

Osborne, who is usually evasive about his lyrical content, admits the optimistic feel of "With Teeth" was no accident. "The lyrics are meant to convey a sense that you're doing the best job that you can, regardless of whatever it may be," he says. "Everything's fine because you did the best that you could do. That's all anybody can ask."

A Vast Filthy Prison

2013-04-01T10:48:38Z

Fureon: Lyrics meaning

"A Vast Filthy Prison" – 6:44

Originally released on '''''[[(A) Senile Animal]]''''', 2006.

==Lyrics==

Take care of my princess 
Take her cuz we live alone 
If you weren't so simple 
I would never come along 

Raise your hand to heaven 
Now raise the one thats half alive 
You said you'd give a fortune 
If you could have it everynight 

The world is full of evil 
Now which of those are one of you 
Where is my one true angel 
With her golden wings so open 

Some would call it heaven 
He would call it bravery 
I would call it neither 
I would call it thievery 

[[Category: Lyrics]]

==Meaning==

An excrept from an [http://ynamoh.blogspot.com/2008/06/melvins.html interview] says following about this song:

The final song on the album is entitled ‘A Vast Filthy Prison’. While the title might suggest a somewhat Gnostic perspective on the world, perhaps inspired by the work of science fiction author Philip K. Dick (who coined the phrase ‘Black Iron Prison’ in his mindblowing semi-autobiographical novel ‘Valis’) it is in fact an oblique summary of Buzz’s philosophy of self-determination.
“It’s about a prison for the self. It’s something you’ve built. You’re now in it and it’s beyond your imagination. You can’t blame the world for it. Basically it’s about desperation and being stingy. Demanding things while looking like you’re being benevolent, but you’re really not. That’s as close as I can come to where it’s actually at.”
Buzz warms to this theme.
“We are personally responsible for our own destiny. You have to make things happen on your own terms. If you’re gonna sit around and wait for somebody else or the government to do it for you, you’re an idiot. People who wanna sit there and blame the way the world is for all their woes, I have no hope for them. Most of these people can’t even pick a good band to listen to, let alone comment on what’s going on in the outside world. Or monied celebrities trying to tell me what I should do with my money? Fuck that. They should all be hanging by their necks. ‘Save Africa!’ First, find Africa! ‘Save Tibet!’ Fuck Tibet! Find it on the map, now tell me why you care about it. Fuck that, I have no interest. If there are celebrities involved and they have some interest in it, then that is exactly why I am not interested in it. Brad Pitt talking about Africa... fuck that. Fuck Africa. If he’s involved there’s gotta be something wrong.”
