PIXIES live ALEC EIFFEL

Pioneer of aerodynamics
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
they thought he was real smart alec
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
he thought big they called it a phallic
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
they didn't know he was panoramic
little eiffel stands in the archway
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
keeping low doesn't make no sense
sometimes people can be oh so dense
they didn't want it but he built it anyway
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
little eiffel stands in the archway
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
keeping low don't make sense
keeping low doesn't make no-sense
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
little eiffel stands in the archway
oh alexander i see you beneath
the archway of aerodynamics.

What does that have to do with the music? Frank Black has always been a bit chubby and now he's older. You will gain weight and get older, but

I'm willing to bet you won't be a unique songwriter working with some of the most talented people ever assembled. I know I won't . (that's why I don't dis.)

[LightFromADeadStar]

[stuartvthomas]

@daveidftw strange cuz he tunes his HIGH E down. i always thought this was standard drop d myself.

[daveidftw]

@JeromeBertrem1 Sounds like Drop D tuning, that isn't way down, just one step down. Just the type of chords.

My Pixies favorite song !

[Scarlock138]

They really need to turn Joey up.

Haven't heard this live often - which makes it feel oddly obscure if you don't own Trompe le Monde - despite being one of their most loved songs by fans. This is pretty poor, Francis dosen't seem to enjoy playing it.

[JeromeBertrem1]

For guitar players: why does Frank tunes his guitar way down at the beginning of the song? He plays most of the time chords, so I don't understand it why he does that...
