The Weird Tracklist:
01. Swampland:
A song of yearning for the exotic. Love of the weird.
02. Hell Beach:
Two contradictory images to describe the place where only a weird kind of love could blossom and survive.
03. Demolition Derby:
Fuelled with a love gone wrong. Abandoned by his co-driver. A man trying to cope with life's thrills and spills.
04. Murderess In A Purple Dress:
Bonny and Clyde style love on the run. Admiration of outrageous acts of bravado.
05. We Had Love:
Weird Love.
06. Nitro:
Dave Brubeck and The Troggs. Very strange marriage.
07. If It's The Last Thing I Do:
The story of a man obsessed - who thought Travis Bickle was a good guy.
08. Lead Foot:
One man and his truck.
09. When Fate Deals Its Mortal Blow:
When all conquers you.
10. Atom Bomb Baby:
Hot love is better than a cold war.
11. Set It On Fire:
A song of the search for a catalyst to make weird love happen.
12. You Only Live Twice:
Nothing weird about loving this song - or its orginal songstress, for that matter
