The 'Little Black Egg' is the universe. The 'little white specks' are stars. 'The Tree' is the Tree of Life. "Here comes Mary, here comes Lee" (short for Levi) refers to Catholicism and Judaism. "I won't let them stretch their necks" refers to keeping the (Masonic) secrets of the universe safe. "Oh Gol-durn! What can I do?" refers to mankind's helplessness before the Creator and eternal damnation. "The little Black Egg's gonna tell on you" refers to our sins being revealed after our death.
@garthfromseattle wow.... always loved this song but never knew the meaning of this at all...Where did you find this out? I am spiritual but not really religious. Thanks for the info
The last song on the last Primitives CD. I remember buying Galore in a music store somewhere in Zurich. The good old days. 'Oh, Darlene, what can I do?'
please upload the song "smile" n.n
THANK YOU!

One of the best power pop acts of the 1980's, they show their garage influences on their sleeves here.

Love The Primitives, but this song belongs to The Night Crawlers. Can't beat their sound.

@garthfromseattle Wow, makes sense now. How did you find all this out? Did you hear or see an interview with whoever wrote it?

This is a good cover version of this original song which I have.
I have a copy on 45 rpm 1964 on Kapp Records...

This is pretty good. Quiet Village also does a real good 'garage band' version!

This song has been a favorite of mine since childhood. This is the best cover I've ever heard! I'd like to know more about the Prmitives.
