the new pixies song...

Kim Deal singing lead and in the space and style that Frank has usually occupied and Frank being where Kim previously abode.

To me it sounds like a mix of I Can't Forget (Leonard Cohen/Pixies cover), LeS RiTa MiTsOuKo (a french band), Saints (Breeders) and Boom Chicka Boom (early Pixies). For some reason I get a vibe of sonic youth's %100...

(lyrics are subject to reality)

I can hear 
the buzz and modulations
of the universe
but you're the first 
to make me feel it


F#m          D   A
if only joy had enough

bosses and offices
on automatic drip
they got the keys to the city
but we got a lot of 
shaking in our hips


you know me
i love the universe
i love all the listeners
watch it
here's fifty thousand watts of good will


oh if only joy had a love
bangkok cha wocka wocka
bam thwack 
love

watch it
here's fifty thousand watts of good will

Do we need to wait for the Pixies to hear such a song? I mean it's not bad but please don't tell me this song is better than any FB solo songs?

I hear the similarity there. And the opening has the same hit (and possibly same chord) as the beginning of I Can't Forget. I dig it lots.

And also, some he calls "newbs" and others get "noob".

LBF is such a nice guy. What the hell was I talking about?

Thanks for that lyrics post! I am always crap with deciphering. I only hear the music out of listening to songs and can never recall lyrics. You mad skeelz action assists me!

Bam Thwok Is damn Cool

The Truth Is Out There

I hear the chorus as

"Bam Thwock
Not Bangkok-a'-wocka wocka"

I've never been good at this though.

I like the song more each time I listen to it. Pop music needs more nonsense word lyrics. "Papa ooo mow mow" and "Bang Shang-a-lang" and all that.
