"The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was, but the gun shoots death, and purifies the Earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth and kill!"

Re: The Gun Is Good Lyric
I always wonder if anyone's tried to make a full transcription of the samples from 'I Wish I Had Duck Feet'. There are just so many things going on in that track that I'm still noticing something new everytime I listen to it!

Heh, me too. I've listened to that track hundreds of times over the last 10 years or so and I still hear new things now and then.
It was a good few years before I even worked out that the stretched-out female vocal is saying "Cccccoooossssmmmmeeettttiiiiiccccc sssssuuuuurrrrrgggggeeeerrrryyyy"

Sounds like Cosmetic Surgery to me - she even repeats it later on in the song...

Re: The Gun Is Good Lyric
From a 1997 post on xmission:
-----
The man is going on about a circus show.."If everybody will step on up to the front, we're going to have a freak show! We're going to bring some of the strange people out so you can see them and have them perform for you. So please, step on up, let the children right on up front....here you're going to see the worlds smallest married couple: the alligator-skinned man..." and so forth.
The woman is talking about plastic surgery and other things like that: "Breast implantation is now a safe and successful procedure..." the long drawn out vocals is when the lady says "c o s m e t i c s u r g e r y may be just what you're looking for." You can probably figure the whole "message" of the song from there...hope that clears everything up.

Re: The Gun Is Good Lyric
I've always thought it was a clever idea for a track, and love the clash of samples. Hoping for a lot more spoken word samples on the next album.
Never managed to decipher the stretched out voice before, so thanks! It's troubled me for years. Not just because I didn't know what it was saying, but because I always find something wonderfully unsettling about it. Orbital do creepy very well. 'In Sides' is the best for that. Such an evocative album - like the best sci-fi/horror film never made.

Re: The Gun Is Good Lyric
Sampling is from the movie "Zardoz" from 1974 with, among others Sean Connery in the lead role.
I do not remember what movie the continued sampling "God is not interested in technology" is from.
I know I've seen the movie but have forgotten what movie.
Anyone?
Anyway, it's a damn good song
