Lied van de week: week 26 - 2013

Bagboy - Pixies

Hoera, de Pixies hebben een nieuw nummer uit: Bagboy. En nog meer hoera: je krijgt het zomaar van hen cadeau! En driewerf hoera: het is een fijne song, die helemaal past bij hun beter werk van vroeger.



Lyrics:

I had a bad reaction to your public hobby writings
I get no satisfaction from your very recent sightings

cover your breath
cover your teeth
cover your breath
polish your speech

like when I hear the sound of feet slapping on the runway
like a small bird pretty while it’s crapping on the new day

cover your breath
polish your speech
cover your breath
polish your teeth

so disappointed I was that I had made small talk with you
I’m not feeling your buzz I only smell your crock of stew

polish your teeth
alter your breath
alter your teeth
cover your breath

Bag boy bag boy bag boy bag boy

she had some beauty and manners but you look like a bug
migrations of their type are such good planners and not smug

cover your breath
alter your speech
cover your breath
alter your speech

Bag boy bag boy bag boy bag boy

you are proselytizing alone
listening to the voice with your ears
you have regurgitated the tone
now sat in your tract for many years
picked up from dead things that you licked
it’s a feedback loop you can’t evict

cover your breath
cover your teeth
cover your breath
polish your speech
cover your breath
polish your speech
cover your breath
polish your teeth
polish your teeth
alter your breath
alter your teeth
cover your breath
cover your breath
alter your speech
cover your breath
alter your speech
