Today's random song of the day is Broken Face.

What do you think of it?

lyrics
I got a broken face, I got a
I got a broken face
Uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, ooo
I got a broken face

There was this boy who had two children with his sisters
They were his daughters, they were his favorite lovers

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes, there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue

I got a broken face
Uh-hu, uh-hu
I got a broken face

There was this man who snapped his brain in little pieces
And then he drove holes, and then he put 'em back in there

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes, there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue

I got a broken face
Uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, ooo
I got a broken face

The little thing who does my laundry, speaks no english
But if you saw her, you'd say "Isn't she lovely ?"

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes, there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue

I don't think I ever deciphered all the lyrics until I just read 'em.
This song is great, one of the first Pixies songs I really really got into. It is just so twisted...who the hell would write a song about inbreeding and its ill effects? Cram that strangeness in a little two-minute punk song and you have yourself a winner.
When I saw them play this live, I spazzed the fuck out. It just gets me so pumped...

One of my favorite Surfer Rosa tracks. It has a lot of energy, and I love the singing at the beginning.

"I got a broken face! Uh-huh, uh-huh, ooh!"

Great song. Loads of energy. Really mad lyrics, of course. It has that special Pixies sound to it that I love so much.

Yay i broke my half century (raises bat aloft)
