How reliable is that video, in terms of lyrics accuracy? I always thought of the lyrics in the video to be (only) an interpretation by someone other than the band, as is indicated by the alternative spellings "eraser/erazor" and "i scream/ice cream". Do we know who did the visuals including the text? Tomato?

Graham Wood did the video

Haha, I know it's actually warmmachine. I was just messing around. If I remember correctly, that was one of the only songs that they released those lyrics for because they didn't want people to keep misunderstanding the lyrics and think it was political statement or something.

well, most of it was on the original yahoogroups forum,
i don't i posted much to rstr.

the rest is on this forum.

at this point, i can convert the book scans to a PDF

but running it through OCR will be a pain, due to the crazy
but cool typography.

i am highlighting the pages that have actual lyrics.

so the long answer to your question, is yes, i am compiling it here.
