I have to say these are beautiful recordings. I've listened a ton and I find them really moving and special. If they never go beyond these I'm very happy with the mp3s I made from instagram (except that a few songs are cut off at the very end when the video just stops.)

It did indeed, I haven't been home in a few days! And this is one of the best songs.

(don't know what a good title would be, also he names some city or church or something and I just have no idea what it could be...)


Here on my left the demons delight
And on my right fairies breath

If I show you blue
Know that I am very true
If I show you red
Love is in my heart and bed

If I show you yellow
I have seen you with another
When I show you my black diamond
I will disappear
I will disappear my friend

Here we are
???
???
Here we are
Cocks in hands (!?!?!)
Here we are again

If I show you blue
Know that I am very true
If I show you red
Love is in my heart and bed

If I show you yellow
I have seen you with another
When I show you my black diamond
I will disappear
I will disappear my friend

Here we are
St. ???
???
Here we are
Cocks in hands (?!?)
Here we are
All my friends
Here we are again

Here are my last words
You will be the first
But my tongue is tied
Throat's gone dry

A friend says he thought my lyrical guess of "A lion in the shadow of a tree" might be "lying in the shadow of a tree", but to my ears, it sounds like "a lion"...of course the other one makes more sense, but my version feels more like a Frank lyric.

'I Like to Drive' makes an appearance at last. One of my favourites so far.

That's what I thought at first too, but I think it's "cocks and hens".

In other words, I'd be afraid of what would happen to it in the studio with a polished Pixies sound. Now if it was a record with EDF, Jeremy Dubs, etc...



Yeah agree with this. Just want to add that Jeremy Dubs is an awesome dude, check out his movie Tallywacker along with his music with his band Bunnies. You will not be disappointed.

Get the Catholics out of retirement and record all those songs. Working title for the album: "Show me your tears II".

And if you are looking for a producer for this batch, please just stay clear from Jon Tiven.

I joined the cult of Souled American / 'cause they are a damn' fine band

I can't get "if I show you blue...if I show you red..." etc out of my head. One of his coolest songs in years.

I get around
On planet Earth
My favourite town
For what it's worth
Is wherever I am
So I'll keep it brief

I'm just a man
With a band
In the land
Of misbelief

My guitar chops
Just like an axe
My sermon stops
You in your tracks
But here I stand
In my fig leaf

I'm just a man
With a band
In the land
Of misbelief

I'm a guitar man
In a guitar band
In the bitter land
Of misbelief

Baby don't wave your handkerchief
Baby don't wave your handkerchief
Baby don't wave your handkerchief
Don't wave, don't wave, oh no

Baby don't wave your handkerchief
Baby don't wave your handkerchief
Baby don't wave your handkerchief
Don't wave, don't wave, oh no

Everybody gonna eat their shoe
Everybody gonna eat their shoe
Everybody gonna eat their shoe
Gonna eat their shoe, oh no

Everybody gonna eat their shoe
Everybody gonna eat their shoe
Everybody gonna eat their shoe
Gonna eat their shoe, oh no

Baby don't wave your handkerchief
Baby don't wave your handkerchief
Baby don't wave your handkerchief
Don't wave, don't wave, oh no

Baby don't wave your handkerchief
Baby don't wave your handkerchief
Baby don't wave your handkerchief
Don't wave, don't wave, oh no

Don't wave don't wave oh no

Everybody gonna eat their shoe
Everybody gonna eat their shoe
