Red Hot Chili Peppers - Victorian Machinery Lyrics






Jaded
You're my victorian machinery
Leave yourself to lie
Later
Your tender shape is pinning like the scenery
Ride you like a bike

You be the sailing baby, I'll be the rudder
We could make it all in
'Till it turns into butter
I saw your face
A seminal pleasure, I will love you forever
When I heeded your call in every heavy endeavour
I'll keep your place

Jaded
Coming down the mouth, you're like a buffalo
In your eyes
Crazy
But then again, I'll cook you like your you know
Makes up for her size

You be the sailing baby, I'll be the rudder
We could make it all in
'Till it turns into butter
I saw your face
A seminal pleasure, I will feel you forever
When I heeded your call in every heavy endeavour
I'll keep your place
Be yourself
When I
You be the shark (shack)
And baby I'll be the desert
There is nothing to like
When there is nothing to measure
It's all our space
Whoooh

You are my victorian machinery
Nah nah nah nah nah
Jaded
Make a fist and knock me on the mood again
Leave yourself to lie
Later
Make me feel like I want more than you again
Rock me like the vibe
Crazy
Sing along just like they do in Budapest
On the rise

You be the shark (shack)
And baby I'll be the desert
There is nothing to like
When there is nothing to measure
It's all our space

  13. E.... O....

    Love you guys!

  14. A.... S....

    This definitely should have been on the album. It's tons better than Dance, Dance, Dance

  15. v.... c....

    Boa music Brasil 👍

  16. R.... W....

    am i the only one that thinks rhcp produces the best music to ever grace this earth

  17. K.... B....

    definitely should've been on IWY

  18. M.... I....

    LOVE THIS ONE,BEST NEW SONG FROM RHCP 2 ME,OFCUZ....PEACE

  19. C.... C....

    I'm Beside You is so much better than I'm With You

  20. M.... I....

    THIS IS TRUTH MY ANGEL SON........YEAH VIKTOR MAŠINA

  21. J.... ....

    So deep in my soul

  22. D.... S....

    Reminds me of One Hot Minute era Peppers

  23. i.... ....

    I dont understand why this song is not on the album.. I would die to hear this live!

  24. m.... a....

    the second voice sounds more of John than of Josh

  25. j.... m....

    nirvana ?

  26. A.... B....

    This definitely should have been on the main album. Brilliant track!

  27. C.... ....

    They should have kept this and Open/Close on "I'm with you". Would have made it a much stronger album, my opinion.

    C.... ....

    ChilianaJones I agree Even You Brutus is like a watered down Open/Close that song is a BOP

  28. D.... C....

    This song reminds me of their Stadium Arcadium sound. Specifically Anthony's vocals

    D.... C....

    I was thinking it's more like One Hot Minute, without the "You be the sail..." part.

  29. s.... j....

    Red Hot Chili Peppers The Bsides Getaway :)

  30. M.... ....

    Sounds like smashing pumpkins

  31. c.... ....

    this is a cool song, the verses rhythm is kind of similar to Radiohead's optimistic

  32. L.... N....

    is that buffalo butter?...lol

  33. A.... S....

    Beautiful bass in the bridge. Top stuff from Flea

    A.... S....

    That second bassline is fucking mint

  34. A.... L....

    are these songs the left off songs from the previous RHCP album?

    A.... L....

    exactly

  35. B.... R....

    The best song of I'm beside you ;)

  36. D.... P....

    Sounds like Soundgarden (sry... ;) )

    D.... P....

    No need for sorry. Soundgarden is an awesome band too.

  37. W.... D....

    RHCP <3

  38. T.... ....

    The chorus. All I've got to say.

  39. J.... S....

    2:52 Woooooooooooow

  40. M.... H....

    Rick Rubin must be crazy. Why is on the album song Dance, Dance, Dance when they have this masterpiece, showing Josh in much better light. Josh rocking in this. Can't wait for the new album without Rubin. We will see what's gonna be with Danger Mouse...

    M.... H....

    I could not agree more. Why is Dance, Dance, Dance even a song. So lame.

    M.... H....

    GoGo1667 cuz its good cheesedick

    M.... H....

    GoGo1667 fuck off

    M.... H....

    Martin Hruzek fucken Rick" I'm a fuck up"Ruben

    M.... H....

    It's not Rick's fault, they chose the song they liked and the ones that people might like easier... Or something. But dance dance dance is great in my opinion, I love all of their songs and I think that every beside should be on the album together with the songs that actually are there heh

  41. M.... V....

    This would be a perfect jam for opening up a set, hell

  42. R.... H....

    very good!!!!
    Janeyyyyy!!
    i like the chorus!

  43. L.... K....

    Josh has definitely gone more comfortable with band. just listen to the riffs in the chorus

  44. J.... P....

    1:40 How does one come down a mountain like a buffalo?

    J.... P....

    Check out "buffalo jump" on the internet

  45. K.... M....

    most of the songs on this playlist are way better than the album

    K.... M....

    Totally agree. There are only like 2 tracks on the album that are on the same level as the b-sides.

    K.... M....

    Trev Barlow in my opinion three:
    Rain Dance Maggie
    Look Around
    Goodbye Hooray

  46. C.... ....

    This is a real Good song, guys
     :')

  47. M.... ....

    voces sao foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooda

  48. N.... E....

    2:34 - 2:40 you don't hear Anthony sing like that before until this song

    N.... E....

    Mega22xx false

  49. M.... ....

    Reminds me of Soundgarden's Spoonman

  50. l.... f....

    how this song is not in the album?

    l.... f....

    @Martin Seitune i understand your point of view, but... let me ask you some questions?what do you prefer? "Dance, dance, dance" or "Long Progression"? "Even You Brutus?" or "Victorian Machinery"? Think about it. i've already made my choice.

    l.... f....

    @Martin Seitune i know that to produce and define an album we have to think about all the concept and textures we want it to have but, sometimes, we cannot "give up" of great some tunes like these.

    l.... f....

    @John Borowski i very like Even your Brutus :B :3

    l.... f....

    @John Borowski but they never play Long progression:c

    l.... f....

    ​@Martin Seitune yep, they never played, but they could rs. Anyways, thankfully in The Getaway they had pleased a major portion of fans

  51. E.... R....

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  52. F.... ....

    It reminds me ''Headlong'' from Queen

  53. R.... T....

    Amazing song, it has an One Hot Minute feeling.

    R.... T....

    Maybe One Hot Minute if it was performed by 60 year olds.

    R.... T....

    Its really ohm-ish

    R.... T....

    coffee shop, i hear it

    R.... T....

    I agree but with a stronger jane's addiction vibe. At points it reminds me of mountain song.

  54. F.... G....

    ¿Why this amazing song isn't included on the album?

  55. R.... B....

    I like this song more than some of the songs on the album. Chilis for life!!!

  56. J.... D....

    2:42 ,Josh's vocals take this song to THAT level. 

    J.... D....

    The presidents of Portugal and of Austria were present at the ceremony.

  57. S.... �....

    Best song of b side

  58. B.... ....

    The band needs to make better album choices. "I'm With You" would have been an amazing album if "Hanalei", "Victorian Machinery", "Love Of Your Life" and "Sunset Sleeps" had been on it, rather than half the unimpressive songs on there. Actually, the only song I enjoyed on that album was "Factory of Faith"...

    All of my favourite RHCP songs are B sides, and the only plus to that is in knowing I'm listening to amazing tracks that most haven't even heard of, including many people who claim to be RHCP fans, you're not much of a fan unless you've heard their incredible B sides.

    B.... ....

    Sometimes i think that's right, but The Sunset Sleeps is my least favourite chilis song since One Big Mob. 

    But it's definitely a more difficult decision when they make so many great songs!

    B.... ....

    i agree. factory of faith was the only good song on the album. i didnt even notice josh's vocals in it! and the bass on it is AMAZING.

    B.... ....

    @Sage Dagger
    not noticing josh's vocals is a positive thing.

    B.... ....

    I only enjoyed 2 or 3 songs on IWY. I'm addicted to EVERYTHING on IBY.

    B.... ....

    I'm with you slaps doe

  59. s.... ....

    This has been out for a while but, why is this not on the album? Why didn't they swap the b-sides with the actual album?

    s.... ....

    EXACTLY!!!! Whoever idea was that should get a pink slip and never work with a record label again.

    s.... ....

    I understand that these were made after the release of the album, but still, they are far better than the ones in I'm With You. They should be a new different album.

    s.... ....

    @Stefano Ponce I'm pretty sure these songs 'I'm Beside You' as they're called as a group I believe, were recorded and produced in the same period as the other songs that are featured on the original I'm With You CD. Just like RHCP made about 40-60 songs for Stadium Arcadium and 'only' dropped 28 of them on the double CD, RHCP has created many more songs during the recording sessions then we will ever hear, and these B-Sides are part of them, just as 'Million Miles of Water' is a B-Side from Dani California could 'Victorian Machinery' be a B-Side song from 'Even You Brutus' (Just an example).

    s.... ....

    @TheTwicey maybe, but I was basing my comment on the fact that they were released years after the release of I'm With You. Anyway, I was only saying that the I'm With You b-sides are better than the actual album. And by the way, RHCP themselves mentioned that they had recorded 38 songs for Stadium Arcadium but they only put 28 in the album.

    s.... ....

    @Stefano Ponce I get it. I was surprised too when they came along. And I agree. Most B-Sides really are better than most songs on the record, except for Monarchy Of Roses, Ethiopia and Police Station, these three definitely are my favorites, just my opinion. You might be right on the 38 songs for SA thing, I had heard or read RHCP produced 60, but now you mention it I actually think that was about IWY writing and recording, not Stadium Arcadium.

  60. J.... D....

    I think it's funny how people say they miss "THIS, they miss THAT, the Peppers are so mellow/soft now, different..blah blah blah.."
    By the way, "By the Way", is one of the most laid back, softest records of recent memory. Oh, and by the way again, it's also a masterpiece!
    These Peppers are not that much different than they've ever been. John came back for Californication, emphasis on the chorus was the new formula; back up vocals was also more prevalent. SAME THING NOW!
    This song in fact, sounds a lot like parts  "Savior" in forms of structure. Josh's back up vocals are amazing...

  61. K.... T....

    How do we sing in Budapest?

    K.... T....

    Along. You sing along.

  62. K.... S....

    2:26 the "be yourself" part gives me goosebumps. I like goosebumping songs!

    K.... S....

    Be yourself by Audioslave

  63. N.... S....

    This should have been on I'm with you

    N.... S....

    Nick Shillito I agree.

  64. M.... A....

    it sounds like RHCP

  65. C.... H....

    Jane's reference. I like.

  66. k.... ....

    oh my God

  67. !.... ....

    1:39

    Coming down the mountain!!!!

    Everybody has their own opinion
    Everybody has their own opinion

  68. P.... G....

    B-Side = Beautiful side

  69. F.... G....

    The first part sounds a lot like some song from One Hot Minute, but the chorus sounds a lot like nothing Red Hot Chili Peppers have done, even with Frusciante

  70. A.... P....

    @Pritzel kun - fuck yourself

  71. L.... ....

    wtf.. listened to their 14 latest songs and they all suck..

  72. M.... ....

    That's why the title is machinery ;) It represents the rawness of the machines

  73. r.... ....

    you mean grungy?

  74. C.... t....

    It do sound like nirvana :D also sound like radiohead

  75. M.... ....

    it sounds wayyyy more like smells like teen spirit

  76. j.... ....

    Rather "In bloom".

  77. D.... G....

    Klinghoffer can rock indeed. welcome to the rhcp family

  78. M.... ....

    Why does 0:00 to 0:28 remind me of smells like teen spirit by Nirvana??? Anyone else??

  79. F.... N....

    I got goose bumps at 2:28, so amazing!

  80. V.... M....

    Well I was saying that in the book, it explains why they chose to put that into their music. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with you, but it just has the edginess of One Hot Minute, and that is why it reminded me of it. If you don't agree with me, that is okay- you have a right to your opinion as I have a right to mine :)

  81. M.... ....

    They've been releasing singles since july 2012.

  82. J.... D....

    THE BEST B-SIDE

  83. V.... M....

    I agree that it does sound like a little bit of that is thrown in there. It is a nice blend that is reminiscent of several of their albums.

  84. V.... M....

    Why not? This song sounds a bit edgier and rougher than most of the I'm With You tracks/B-Sides. To me, One Hot Minute always gave me the feeling that it was a darker and rougher album (and it was; if you read Anthony's book "Scar Tissue," you'll see why). The feeling of the intro and verses just reminds me of OHM for some reason. That is just my opinion, though :)

  85. R.... A....

    with some sauce of stadium arcadium

  86. o.... ....

    when did this happen? where was I?

  87. G.... W....

    but it was a good comment

  88. G.... W....

    nothing to do, in my opinion suits plus album californication

  89. O.... A....

    You be the sailing baby, I'll be the rudder, we could make it all in 'till it turns into butter, I saw your face.
    A seminal pleasure, I will love you forever 3

  90. M.... V....

    bass is always sexy ;)

  91. M.... M....

    The bass during the second chorus... so sexy

  92. f.... ....

    I have the same opinion of you and josh can you guess what it is?

  93. M.... A....

    ¡VAMOS JOSH!

  94. P.... ....

    I love the One Hot Minute vibe in this song!

  95. B.... P....

    Josh is a blessing for RHCP:) RHCP FOR LIFE <3

  96. L.... K....

    nice profile picture ;)

  97. A.... S....

    one of the best b sides
