Pixies - Dig for Fire and Alison

Lyrics for Dig for Fire:
there is this old woman
she lives down the road
you can often find her
kneeling inside of her hole
and i often ask her
"are you looking for the mother lode?"
huh?
no.
no my child, this is not my desire
and then she said

i'm digging for fire [4x]

there is this old man
who spent so much of his life sleeping
that he is able to keep awake for the rest of his years
he resides
on a beach
in a town
where i am going to live
and i often ask him
"are you looking for the mother lode?"
huh?
no.
no my child, this is not my desire
and then he said

i'm digging for fire [4x]

Lyrics for Alison:
from distant star
to this here bar
the me, the you
where are we now?
horray the blues
of everyone
allison

keeps a smile
around a while
he took no fright
and jettisoned
we'll go tonight
to hear him tell
"oh well"
allison
allison

and when the planet hit the sun
i saw the face of allison
allison
allison

allison
allison

jajajaja XD !O_O!

I love this group and this grirl

On "How I met your mother" they talk about Kim Deal and says that she is the perfect woman

I think it's true

hehehe, i played football and had gym classes in that stadium.....until now I've never known the Pixies set foot there earlier than me, makes that place even more special to me ^^

"Allison was originally about a girl called Alison, 'but of course Elvis Costello has a song called Alison, so I had to change it.' Now it's about Mose Allison, the jazz pianist." (Q article)
