Today's random song of the day is The Holiday Song.
What do you think of it?
lyrics
Well sit right down my wicked son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son
This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am with my hand
He took his sister from his head
And then painted her on the sheets
And then rolled her up in grass and trees
And they kissed 'till they were dead
This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand
Well sit right down my evil son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son
This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand
This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand

Love it. Does anyone like the FBF version? It's one of my favorites from the Disc 2 of that album... |

one of their first sparks of perfection and musical genius in terms of originality and style. Classic scream with the "Nooo NOOOOOOOOowwwww" that you just have to love. Great riff by Joey that gives the whole thing life, Kim and Frank with their strange harmony working.... very nice. 5 thumbs up. |

Great song. I love the natural ambience on the Pixies' earlier recordings, especially on this song. This was one of the first songs from "Come on Pilgrim" (the other being "I've Been Tired") that really grew on me. I love to play it (guitar) as well.

One of my fave songs. In my top 10. The "Here I am with my hand" line is glorious!

Masturbation AND incest in one song! How can you lose?
Seriously, not one of my all-time favorites, but pretty good. Typical of the early Pixies.

always wondered what "this aint no holiday..." referred to.
i'm not one for disecting and confusing myself with hidden meanings to lyrics, but just wondered what it means in context with the song.
just coz its a damn fine tune. 100% perfection
