Need help with Avey Tare lyrics

Hey everyone, so earlier I just found out the album I had on my itunes as "Down There" is largely not Down There at all.
I went on youtube earlier to get a link to a song from the album, and found a completely different song being called "Ghost of Books". Sounding absolutely different than the one I had on my itunes. The same for Spotify, totally different song.
So I downloaded Down There over again (I think I must've got the first download from utorrent or something idk) and sure enough, 7 of the 9 songs on the album were completely different. the only ones that weren't different were Lucky 1 and Oliver Twist.
SO what help I need from you guys is figuring out what the hell these songs actually are.
Some of the lyrics i've found are as follows
the song in place of Laughing Hieroglyphic "from the inside, ________ to massage my mind. You might believe to slow the clock, and spill your thoughts into every second, and still have time for more"
the song in place of 3 Umbrellas ends with Avey saying "if you can hear me, follow my nose, a sniffle"
The song in place of Glass Bottom Boat is a slow song of guitar tin-y guitar picking that ends with a distorted recording of Avey laughing
The song in place of Heather in the Hospital "every boy could be a threat as the tiger that went hunting" "to raise a child of the wild, as if he was one of them"
It's too hard to look these lyrics up on their own, so I can't find them through google so I figure i'd enlist your help.
Thanks!

You've been listening to a fake freebird -- it's all by a band called 60 Watt Kid. Nothing to do with Avey. Can't help you much with the lyrics, but try their fan forum at 60wattkids.org

Wow, well good to know. who would've thought, always felt it sounded a little not like avey on the vocals.
Thanks for the help! Kind of devastated my whole idea of Down There now...........
Listening to a fake freebird for 2 whole years....ridiculous...

Anyone know who the voice(s) at the beginning of Laughing Hieroglyphic belong to?
I've always assumed Abby cause it sounds very similar to the voice-mod used in the promotional interview she did with Dave when Down There came out.
