Liner Notes by the editors:

Little is known about the band that has created this song. Most of this little information can be gleaned from the website of FMT, whom a previous SHELLF LIFE release can be attributed to. We caution that we do not know if any or all of this information is outdated: https://furicomusicteam.blogspot.com/p/shellf-life-interview.html Unfortunately, the Furico Team was not available for commentary, since they are launching quite a different kind of historic project on kitchen label.  

Some questionable facts regarding STRANGELOVE’S BRAIN’s release are related in quite a verbose and unreliable way tinged with judgemental interpretation and interspersed with pseudointellectual preconceptions here:   https://soundcloud.com/sonic-textures/shellf-life-paraphernalia-and-parerga-2025 (German original, as far as we can discern). According to that ‚account‘, the recording of STRANGELOVE’S BRAIN was found on a self-burnt disc (ha, that ancient Nero joke!) in a forgotten chest. The poem used in this recording is the only item that can be traced to an author (jo richter) who was kind enough to allow us to reprint here. Obviously, the references to the war-inflicted tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki make it of  special importance at this moment in history, not only because of current tensions, but also because those two catastrophies happened about 80 years ago in August 1945. We therefore decided to release the two versions known thus far as a vinyl single to the general public, accompanied by an image attributed to the same author as the poem.


Strangelove's Brain

another pensive pariah
spotted on the outskirts
of Hyperbolea, Parolia
avant, avant, sempre vorwärts

keeping the obvious captive
locked in a by a reverse smirk
another dementia denier
Hiroshima, where shadows lurk

and the moon keeps rising, rising
every other day, socializing
with singed hands on bare rocks

iron out unseemly locks
to keep face, straight, straight
little boys take progress' bait

A: Strangelove's Brain  (nuclear mix)

SAY NOTHING
He’s been gaslighting you
For three years now
Ditch him and go
You don’t know how
Leave him again
Come running back
That’s what he expects
The pride you lack

Well, Sister, I’m here
To give you a tip
This time around
You don’t say zip
Just pack your things
Head out the door
The last time he hears
Your footsteps on the floor

CHORUS
Say nothing
Say nothing, Sista
The less you say the more you get it right
Say nothing
Say nothing, Sista
Silence is the killer, the killer in the night

And if the phone rings
Don’t pick it up
Go about your business
No need to act tough
‘Cuz when the time’s ripe
Karma is a b*tch
She’ll shred him to pieces
Bury him in a ditch

Say nothing
Say nothing, Sista
The less you say the more you get it right
Say nothing
Say nothing, Sista
Silence is the killer, the killer in the night, alright!
Shhhh……Shhhh

BRIDGE
F*ck the tears
F*ck the years
F*ck your fears, aha
F*ck the tears
F*ck the years
F*ck your fears, aha

Say nothing
Say nothing, Sista
The less you say the more you get it right
Say nothing
Say nothing, Sista
Silence is the killer, the killer in the night, yeah

Silence is the killer
The killer in the night
Silence is the killer
The killer in the night
Silence is the killer
The killer, awh, the killer in the night, uh

Say nothing
Say nothing, Sista
The less you say the more you get it right
Get it right
Get it right
Get it right, uh

Silence is the killer
The killer in the night
Silence is the killer
The killer in the night, yeh-yeh
Silence is the killer, the killer alright..
