Today's random song of the day is Gouge Away.

What do you think of it?

lyrics
Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to

Missy aggravation
Some sacred questions
You stroke my locks
Some marijuana
If you got some

Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to

Sleeping on your belly
You break my arms
You spoon my eyes
Been rubbing a bad charm
With holy fingers

Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to

Chained to the pillars
A three day party
I break the walls
And kill us all
With holy fingers

Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to

I should try to find that all-time survivor, I wonder what new members would think?

I rigged it? How was I not aware of this? Must have been sleep-rigging again.

2 holy thumbs up!

Stay tuned for signature change at 400 posts.

This is in the top three songs of all time, and in my opinion sits at No.1.... I love this song, this is the one that got me into Pixies and then Frank Black I guess.

I am still secretly harboring anger towards Vovat for rigging the Doolittle survivor (in which Debaser won).... maybe I should think about adding him to the Clopse hitlist????

I don't like cricket
I love it aah!

What about Hayden's cover version?

This is my favorite cover of a Pixies song.
VoVat Posted - 05/05/2004 : 17:46:26
I don't love this song as much as everyone else seems to, but it's certainly cool. I like it when Frank uses Biblical imagery in songs. I know he's been asked about it in a few interviews, and he's said that he considers it to be traditional in rock music, or something like that.

Yeah, I really like the FB&TC instrumental intro version. I even prefer it to the Pixies version..

One of the Catholics 'covers' (I don't know if that's the right term since it's still FB, but...) that I enjoy more than the Pixies version. I mean, it's all about that organ for me. Though in Saskatoon, live, it was pretty damn fantastic.

my holy fingers always find this track happily as well.

Great song concluding a great album.

This song is what the electric guitar was made for.

Awesome song. I love the verse "Chained to the Pillars, a three day party, I break the Walls, and kill us all, with holy fingers". I also love the circular progression. The chords don't need to change the song because the dynamics do. This was also one of the last (if not THE last) Pixies song in which Frank used imagery from the Bible. On of the many songs fron "Doolittle" that made me realize what a fuckin' great band The Pixies are.

in the why did they bother department

Papa Roach does a cover of it on their last (hopefully their last) cd

And the Catholics live version is incredibly great. The way they don't sing the first chorus and jump right into the verse, ooohhh... I love it.

absolute stunner - i can listen to this song on repeat for hours on end...

also, i wrote the lyrics for this song down and showed them to an girlfriend of mine way back when i was about 16 and she thought i had written it about her/us.
it was the 'sleepin on your belly line'
not particularly relevant, but i had to write something.

one of the top 5 pixies songs...

lyrical beauty.

some marijauna if you got some,

was my philosophy on the subject for a long time...
