Lyrics:
Dixie Peach Promenade (Yin For Yang) [Version (a)]:

I could use some yin for my yang
That would make everything alright
I would stay by your side by the day
You'll stay underneath me at night

I bought me some zen food
To learn how to think
But I can't think anything more than I know
Than to see you in pain

I could use some bal for my lance
A little left for my hoochie coo
I searched everywhere in heaven
But I never found a friend like you

I bought me all them magazines
When I could not read
I took every bit of stuff
From A to Z, now you hear me

I could use some yin for my yang
That would make everything alright
I will stay by your side for today
You'll stay underneath me tonight

I could use some bal for my lance
A little left for my hoochie coo
I searched everywhere in heaven
But I never found a friend like you

I bought me all them magazines
When I could not read
I took every bit of stuff from A to Z
Now you hear me

I could use some yin for my yang
That would make everything alright
I will stay by your side for today
You'll stay underneath me tonight

All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
 
The Song:

"Dixie Peach Promenade" is one of the jauntier songs on Skip Spence's album, Oar. Beck and his third Record Club project covered the album in its entirety.

Their version of the song is keyboard and effect-heavy, and ends up sounding a bit new wave. Jeff Tweedy from Wilco sings lead, but Beck adds some background vocals and plays one of the keyboards. Jeff's young son, Spencer, plays the drums.

Near the end of the song, the drumbeat changes, and Jamie Lidell starts to sing "All That She Wants," the hit song by Ace Of Base. It doesn't last long. Reportedly though, the Ace Of Base album was in frequent consideration for Record Club to cover, but they always decided on something else.
