brantly One of the great drum intros to a record ever!! A difficult record to pin down, but it weaves a web of sounds that sound a bit like Murray Street-era Sonic Youth playing pop music filtered through mid-period Blonde Redhead. It's full of spidery guitar lines, crisp, punchy Butch Vig-y production (it's not Butch Vig) and tinges of the brash rocking nature of Swerverdriver. Lovely reissue!!!

cool_spidering This is my favorite song of all time. Something about the laissez faire ideations, letting things run as they'll run. Just really grabs me. Favorite track: Angry Candy.

My thoughts take me downtown Change up at the turnstile Go blind in the traffic I go about it the wrong way So what See both pennies landed They jumped where the sky scrapes One's heads One's blind I'm yours and you're over Now change Get caught on the weak end You're gone and now we fade Your mind makes me nervous Your thoughts make me feel bad It's all right It's all right Shake Shake shake shake shake shake The clouds out Shake Shake The stars down Shake Shake It downtown I brace myself To fall in place Over you, over you Over you, over you Shake Shake shake shake shake shake The clouds out Shake Shake The stars down Shake Shake It downtown Now you can see yourself Now you can see yourself Now you can see yourself Now you can see yourself So what it's alright So what it's alright

My ticket exploded When you came from nowhere And left me in static Now I just hang around I got seizures uploaded In life size And they're gonna blow Like see-through Like stupid Just like at home So you missed the getaway And you crashed the stolen plane Now everyone can say doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo Your keys are already in heaven on radar They're restless They're waiting For you to go Let me go round You're making me out Let me go round You're making me out So you missed the getaway And you crashed the stolen plane Now everyone can say doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo So you missed the getaway And you crashed the stolen plane Now everyone can say doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo A hideout in the brush To heal a broken mind I heard the crooked words falling down So you missed the getaway And you crashed the stolen plane Now everyone can say doo-doo too-doo doo-doo

If everything had come true There'd be nothing left to do Wander the halls Meet outside ourselves Ring up the nightwatch To wake up the kings nurse She could chase us through the kitchen Asleep Our lord is so neurotic He's a hypochondriac Our lord is so neurotic He's a hypo You know lately I've been worrying That it might just be okay You know lately I've been worrying That it might just be okay You know lately I've been worrying You know lately I've been worrying You know lately I've been worrying You know lately I black out Just to keep it real I black out Ain't no big deal I black out Down into the sun I black out Straight jacket fun Dumb Just like a genius Dumb Just like Jesus Dumb Just like a knee-jerk Dumb Now you can kick it I black out Just to keep it real I black out Ain't no big deal I black out I black out I black out It ain't no big deal

Even without a face I don't want to talk about it We could be replaced anytime Flat duration soul Just make believe excitement Dead but not so cold All lazy pigs What a way to go Always that thing that happens When everything's just so You understand We don't know what side we're on Dreaming with our heads cut off Half in love and underground Most of you will not be found Sickle raven sky My thoughts are boomerangs You when you get high it's all wrong The system's all awry I get up to get arrested Every single time We don't know what side we're on Dreaming with our heads cut off half in love and breaking down most of you will not be found by anyone

So What You Got Stuck Here Sleep Lear's on fire You’re on a blind ride Blast appeal Gave you the insight Come On Leave Me Here To Dream Lear's on fire You're a blind ride Mass appeal gave you the insight Everyone's wearing the same face I’m not afraid I got your X-Rays

They still look at you like a lost battalion Calling on all downs that you once made home My apologies to your lost battalion They still look at you like your loss is so great Sha la la Let's go let's go Soft soft silver bang like a bank's hydraulics The air it hangs it's head and your cat is passed out You polished off your thoughts in the banks hydraulics Soft soft silver bang when the vaults are all shut Sha la la Let's go let's go Down so let down Down again The doubt it takes you down another step Down you feel so down that all you think Sha la la Here comes everybody from the outside They all want the same things that you hate Turn your face back on and crack a smile Here comes everybody you never cared for Sha la la Let's go let's go Down so let down Down again The doubt it takes you down another step Your only alibi comes just like Sha la la sha la la Let's go let's go They won't be happy for you

Look You think I'm unglued I’m just studying you Fold up all over town Stereo mindset sucking you down You're dressed up Look what you've sewn But left your insides at home Hit me with your smile again Hit me with your smile again Disappear beneath the day Oh no it's still the same You make it hard to breathe You make it hard to breathe You miss everything that's in your way You miss everything that's good for you It kinda gets me down It kinda gets me down It kinda gets me down Look You think i'm unglued But I'm still studying you You fold up all over town Stereo mindset sucking you down

All for one, growing In you, growing You can be afraid of it Or callously go on Bend to me darling You'll see darling It's a violent way we have Even when we smile We're so dumb some ways So dumb always Tied up and pulled apart Like a kidnapped root Kill your best ideas Your crossed beliefs Catch a glimpse of Natalie In Catalina fog Shut your mouth Shut your mouth Shut your mouth Shut your mouth

They don't know so don't trust them Keep your eyes on the sidewalk And kick 'em around for a few Fake you out is all they'll do Keep your head all tied up In the sky above you It's a capital kind of It's a capital kind of It's a capital kind of strain They don't know how to waste time Keep your eyes on the landmark They'll be here soon to forget you Fake you out is all they'll do Keep your head all tied up In the sky above you It's a capital kind of It's a capital kind of It's a capital kind of strain It's a capital kind of It's a capital kind of It's a capital kind of strain
