This I beleive is franks best song about Ufo's

Its not so straight forward, and takes the geeky road (trekker convention) and also the sex road (making eyes with star fuckers delight)

I beleive it is one of his most underated songs lyrically. It has a great play on words.

This song has one of his signature shifts with the song changing from chunky power chord riff to a more breezy chord progression and then back again.

Wonderful

Fav line: "flames above the hilton make it sunny"

"If all you've seen, is violence!"

My favorite track from the first album. Listening now to the '94 Reading Festival version... amazing. This song really kicks ass live, I wonder why he stopped playing that one.

I really like the version from the Hate Me bootleg, Wetlands, NY, 6/13/94. Screaming along to this version is dangerous, almost makes me pass out...
