You can hypnotize me later
And we’ll sail into the heavens
And our love will be the leaven
As we dance among the craters
But if I should leave this state
Well, there’s nothing you can do
My dear you cannot soothe
This old heartache

So let’s go to Barcelona
We will be noted for our absence
Deep in ocean blues of absinthe
Making love in our coronas
But please know for your own sake
That I can be a moody guy
For years I cannot quiet
This old heartache

(Ahh ahh)

So let’s go to Barcelona
We will be noted for our absence
Deep in ocean blues of absinthe
Making love in our coronas
But please know for your own sake
That I can be a moody guy
Yes, for years I cannot quiet
This old heartache
This old heartache

You can hypnotize me later
And we’ll sail into the heavens
And our love will be the leaven
As we dance among the craters
But if I should leave this state
Well, there’s nothing you can do
My dear you cannot soothe
This old heartache
This old heartache
This old heartache

Sigh! Such a romantic song. Very Spanish in its mood
and references, not just the obvious (Barcelona)
but absinthe and the tempo of the music.

P.S. The Catholics are noted for their absence.


I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics

yes you'll get your kitty
and no, these threads aren't about the posts, the song database is in desperate need of updating so these threads are for people to give their thoughts and opinions, on the song, any insight on meanings contained within the song and any relevant quotes from the man himself about said song, there's been a few now only on SMYT so far but they've been pretty good. As soon as one doesn't get posted in for a while I start a new one.

it's a collective update and has kicked out quite a lot of good stuff, if you check out the other threads I've started with SMYT titles in this section you'll see what I mean.

A great track. Puppaduck confirmed that the guitar solos on this track were by Joey Santiago and Dave Philips.

I swear at the end of the song Frank really stretches his range and sings lower than I recall him ever singing.

This is a very interesting song, however I can't help but cringe towards the end during the repeat of "you can hypnotize...dance among the craters" as the timing seems to get completely sloppy. The guitars don't mesh with the percussion, and Frank seems to be scrambling to hear which section has the correct timing to follow. Does anyone else notice this?

I "do this just to"

• try to help out the forum, by perhaps adding
something useful to the database
• express my love of The Man's music

Got a problem?
