Original Lyrics
君のすれたバラでその猛毒を飲みなさい
遊び化粧取られ夢に変わる性行為中
小さい My pet is cat
交尾する猫 荒れて探すが見えない
Oh baby Really You
All I Want is Place in your
Heart to Fall lnto
All I need is someone to love
Dancing……
Grieving for the loss of heaven
weeping for the loss of heaven
Dancing Dancing Woo……
一夜だけの喰い物にしようなんて滅相もない
君だけのバカげた遊び道具さ……
柔らかな Finger tips Ah touch Me Baby
仮面取りいっさいからにして
染まれ Without you
All I Want is Place in your
Heart to Fall lnto
All I need is someone to love
Dancing……
Grieving for the loss of heaven
weeping for the loss of heaven
Dancing Dancing Woo……
夜をめくれば 嫌になるBaby
もがくセルロイドは
How About you……
All I Want is Place in your
Heart to Fall lnto
All I need is someone to love
Dancing……
Grieving for the loss of heaven
weeping for the loss of heaven
Dancing……
All I Want is Place in your
Heart to Fall lnto
All I need is someone to love
Dancing……
Grieving for the loss of heaven
weeping for the loss of heaven
Dancing Dancing Woo……
Ah Hang Onto Yourself……

Translated Lyrics
Drink the poison through a fancy rose
Playing at makeup turns into dreams taken away, in the midst of sex
My pet is a small cat
I wildly search for a mate for it, but I can’t find one
Oh baby, really you
All I want is a place in your
Heart to fall into
All I need is someone to love
Dancing……
Grieving for the loss of heaven
Weeping for the loss of heaven
Dancing, dancing, woo……
“Be my prey just for tonight”, what a stupid thing to say
Just as a tool for your foolish game……
Ah touch me baby, with your soft fingerips
Taking off your mask, color me
So completely, without you
All I want is a place in your
Heart to fall into
All I need is someone to love
Dancing……
Grieving for the loss of heaven
Weeping for the loss of heaven
Dancing, dancing, woo……
I really hate it when night turns to day, baby
The celluloid wriggles
How about you……
All I want is a place in your
Heart to fall into
All I need is someone to love
Dancing……
Grieving for the loss of heaven
Weeping for the loss of heaven
Dancing, dancing, woo……
Ah, hang onto yourself……
Notes
They’re nothing alike, but a song with the same title was written by David Bowie and released by a band of his, Arnold Corns, in 1971. A re-recorded version was later released on the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars in 1972. Knowing how influenced Yemon was by Bowie, it’s very likely this is where the song title came from.
Hang Onto Yourself is not only the least interesting song on Bunched Birth, but one of the least interesting Yemon songs in general. Nothing interesting musically happens here, and the all English chorus is uninspired. No matter how abstract Yoshii’s lyrics get, there’s typically either a theme or interesting phrasing to be found. There doesn’t seem to be much of either one here at all, but this is a very early song.
On the song “Hang Onto Yourself”, there’s a guitar that’s continuously harmonizing at the end. I played all of that, I wouldn’t let Emma do it. I told him “It just feels right, so let me do it”. I was probably working on that until morning.
There’s some unintelligible speech during the outro, but no one has been able to identify what it is. Hang Onto Yourself has also never appeared on a set list for any recorded concert, so they probably left it behind with their indie days.
