As in the city the public wears...
I think the brilliant cast for insane realities to come
And that's a decisive battle that we....haven't we lost
I don't care if the fascists have to win
I don't care democracy's being sucked
I don't care socialism's full of sin
(or: I don't care socialism's collapsing)
The unbeatable system engenders rot
That what is exciting
Is a challenge as the new nation
But the tensions have to be creative with some time
The innocent suffer from the transformation in the (their)country
They balance asylum...down and they run you
Obviously once more it could be culture...
I bet a lot oh don't you get to...
I don't care if the facists have to win
I don't care democracy's being sucked
I don't care socialism's collapsing
The indubitable* the system is so corrupt
(* this sounds like immutable on the album version)
That what is exciting
Is a challenge as the new nation
But the tensions happy but
(that the tensions happy but creative are so tight)
Plus: from the album version
Life on earth is a bloody....
In place of the...
The horrors of the war are keeping me free to...
It was like taking candy from a baby.

Jenny Ondioline is a seminal track by the British shoegaze band Stereolab, serving as the title song of their 1992 debut album of the same name. Released during the height of the Britpop era, the recording blends dreamy, reverb-drenched guitars with a driving, industrial-tinged rhythm section to create a unique sonic landscape that defies strict genre classification. The song's distinctive sound, characterized by its layered vocals and atmospheric textures, helped establish Stereolab's reputation as pioneers of the shoegaze movement. It remains a defining piece of early 1990s alternative rock, celebrated for its innovative production and its ability to evoke a sense of melancholic wonder that resonated deeply with fans of the era.
