I've listened to this song sooo many times, it's almost unhealthy. Everything about it I love: the steady rhythm and the way the drums sound, the whispery vocals and surrealist lyrics, the duality of the jazz-like melancholic guitar with the other more typically SY guitar, and the amazing flanged bass that gets the very most out of just a few repeated notes. Truly fantastico!!
"The lights will blind us/ with blues in haiku." "I know where I first saw you/ stepping into muddy water." Don't you love it when you hear the exactly right song at the exactly right time?
@manrayer88 actually Wire magazine got him to listen to it around the time the album came out - he liked it very much and wanted to have the lyrics...
@ MrMonkipuzzle: You listened to that and thought it wasn't inspired by a "Hippie buddhist faggot"? Anyway, keep trying hard to be cool, I'm sure you'll get there one day. :)
I just found out that Allen Ginsberg was a hippie buddhist fagot! Any association between it (ginsberg) and this song has nullified my interest in its melody. Hippies...oy...
@MrMonkipuzzle i was gonna say somthing bad to your comment but than i realise it was 7 months ago & i m listening to this now in Armsterdam doing Armsterdam business.
nie rozumiem czemu ich kariera nie potoczyla sie tak lekko jak np.R.E.M. czy tylko z powodu zgrzytania gitarami, toz to tylko forma....a zespol 1000x ciekawszy...
A ja się absolutnie z tego powodu cieszę. Dzięki temu pozostaną niszową legendą. Nie schamieją. Szkoda, że pierwszy koncert na żywo zaliczyłem po 30-tce na Openerze
Get on with your lives ppl, and don't take no shit from anyone without questioning it

I like the melody, but not the lyrics. It sounds demonic, and likely is...

A ja się absolutnie z tego powodu cieszę. Dzięki temu zostaną legendą. Przykro tylko, że pierwszy zaliczony koncert miałem po 30-ce na Openerze.
