Jawbox - Iodine

My Favorite

IODINE

I don't want to talk.
I roll my red eyes back,
Closed and latched;
Still you watch.

Sweep from left to right.
Frame six hundred nine,
It never lies,
Like some electric eye.

Iodine night sky, straight to veins through eyes.
Iodine night sky, diagnose this time: sickness or a crime?
Profane something fine; so you define.

Say it like you mean it, boy.
Shut your mouth until you can.

Ten times, ten times fast.

Dye infection black.
A note pinned on your back,
Painfully exact.

Iodine night sky, straight to veins through eyes.
Iodine night sky, diagnose this time.
Now pathologize: sickness or a crime,
As you define.

Say it like you mean it, boy.
Shut your mouth until you can.

Ten times, ten times.

Say it like you mean it, boy.
Shut your mouth until you can.

Say it like you mean it, boy.
Shut your mouth until you can.

Ten times, ten times fast

My fave jawbox song - without hesitation.

[elsquibbs]

Totally true. Husker Du comes to mind.

[NewIsTheNewOld]

yeah but if you wanna get technical, smashing pumpkins owe a whole lot to a whole lot of previous groups as well

[spoonofgrimbo]

absolutely! i listened to it for months solidly after getting it, and oddly enough, a day or two before i saw your reply there, i'd put it back onto my mp3 player. i wish that reformation for that tv performance last year had been a permanent one...

[easywind1975]

Well did you like the Jawbox self-titled LP?

[corkykab]

Thanks so much for uploading this- my favorite song of the 90's. Jawbox is the greatest band nobody ever heard of, IMHO...

[fighter5911]

Amazing.

[thecrikster]

what? its just rock music man. give it a rest already with those silly silly words.

[Brandy Martin]

This is my favorite Jawbox song too! A totally underrated band for their day. I did get to see them open for Stone Temple Pilots and Red Rocks. My BF and I screamed 68 but I don't think they played it ;)
