Lyrics:Mango (Vader Rocks!) [Version (a)]:
A sparkling array
She glides
Tainted by the affliction
Seduced deeply into myself
Faceless
Emerging
Black confetti
Sympathy Fuck [Version (b)]:
Running freely
Tainted by the affliction
Seduced deeply into myself
Faceless emerging
Guided by the mango
Smeared darkly on the grave
Black confetti on the mango
Do not try this at home!
Remain of the mango
The Song:"Mango (Vader Rocks!)" is a bizarre sound recording, with a light acoustic guitar and a deep Darth Vader voice speaking weird lines like "Seduced deeply into myself."
The track on
Western Harvest is an edited version of the
Golden Feelings outtake, "
Sympathy Fuck." That outtake is much longer, and has some extra beats.
"Mango (Vader Rocks!)" seems to have the wild percussion/falsetto section edited out: the part that comes after "faceless, emerging" in "
Sympathy Fuck." Beck also edited out all of the mango lyrics, ironically. The acoustic guitar is the same.
"
Sympathy Fuck" is much wilder, crazier, and well, just more complete than "Mango." It's bizarre to me that "Mango" is the version that was released, while "
Sympathy Fuck" was not.
