Blistered Mirrors
I searched for the lyrics but didn't find a thread for this song, so here's what I think I hear. Can someone clear up my question-marks?
Blistered Mirrors Distance lingers Broken Fingers Bandaged together Blistered Mirrors Sad and disfigured Odd and impatience Unlikely but human These blistered mirrors stare back at me They slowly brought me to my knees A heartbreak so pure it’s killing me so clear (?) The best of times now fill me with tears The best of times now fill me with tears And capitalism need the rules all defined (?) It’s virtual anarchy that is the real crime My hands are held high The white flag is raised I employ you all, together let’s fail Together let’s fail These blistered mirrors stare back at me They slowly brought me to my knees A heartbreak so pure it’s killing me so clear (?) The best of times now fill me with tears The best of times now fill me with tears

And capitalism, need, rules and defines
I'm not sure

I hear it as you wrote it except for the following changes:
*Odd and impatient *A heartbreak so pure its killing is so clear *And capitalism neither rules or defines *A heartbreak so pure its killing is so clear

Oh yes, that sounds so much better and more real.
"neither" was what I thought, too, but couldn't make sense of it. Thanks a lot, to both of you!

The Japanese edition booklet lists them as follows:
Blistered mirrors Distance lingers Broken fingers Bandaged together Blistered mirrors Sad and disfigured Odd and impatient Unlikely but human These blistered mirrors stare back at me They've slowly brought me to my knees A heartbreak so pure its killing is so clear The best of times now fill me with tears The best of times now fill me with tears And capitalism neither rules or defines It's virtual anarchy that is the real crime My hands are held high the white flag is raised I implore you all - together lets fail - together lets fail These blistered mirrors stare back at me They've slowly brought me to my knees A heartbreak so pure its killing is so clear The best of times now fill me with tears The best of times now fill me with tears

Does the Japanese booklet have anything about The Last Time I Saw Paris? Any credits or anything?
