....away with the pixies

catefrances

takes the stage
like he's just rolled out of bed
strangles his guitar
makes it work til it bleeds
(or we do)
not quite sure where his mind is
does it really matter?
for sure you could believe what you read in the papers
but he's not the blue eyed boy from aberdeen
though some say that's where his red blood cells come from
acting strange
pissing people off
doesn't seem to give a damn
who's looking out for the boy
who's there to right the wrongs
who's there to catch him when he falls
who the fuck is there so he doesn't
the media love him
hate him
berate him
eulogise him
hold him up just to bring him down
more mundane music ban him
way to go to support the local bands
doesn't matter to me
my radio dial doesn't go down that low anyhow
it's hard to hear the music
through all the trash talk
hey hey over here look this way
do you know...? she wants to meet you
do you know do you even care
just let him make music
he's not doing it for you
he's doing it for himself
and that's how it should be
cause if he ain't digging it
chances are you won't either
and even if you don't in the end
then that's too bad
... for you
outside himself
willful and unconscious
this manchild
that i don't even know
but i love the music
and that's all there is about that.
