Programmed to Love is the debut album from the electronica chillout duo Bent, released in 2000. The album contains various styles of electronica music and samples.
The album was released in several versions. According to AMG, the European version of the album was released 5 September 2000, while amazon.com claims that a "new version (import)", which supposedly means the European version, was released August 2 that same year. The American version was released 23 October 2001. Confusingly, AMG uses the American tracklist in the album article, although they use the European cover art and supposed release date. Some versions also contain a track called "Chocolate Wings".
I recall the day I came to stay in my beloved Ehime.
There wasn't much I could say to express my confusion.
At least in Japanese anyway.
I was struck by the smell of the staff-room
And the dog-like procedure involved when I went to the bathroom.
It was a struggle back then.
But now I've learned to use the toilet
And now after failing 2-kyu I can speak nihongo, or whatever they call it.
Now I can ask a girl for her phone number
And after 12 long months I'm pretty bloody good at ikebana.
When I arrived in my town, they said there's a super (market) down the
road, and it's not too far,
It took two hours by train and another hour by car.
I made a nice group of friends in my town, they were a very friendly
bunch,
But they didn't get let out of the old peoples home, that much.
But now I've made friends my own age,
And now I can read a menu, well at least the first page.
And now I understand that people don't mean to be dicks,
When they say with a patronizing smile, that I'm good with chopsticks.
I have grown to love the love princess,
I just wish I had a little more success with the opposite sex,
