말그대로 전설 그자체인, 인디록씬에서 가장 중요한 레코드. 엄청난 영향력을 행사했으며 현재 활동하고 있는 많은 뮤지션들이 기타를 잡게 만든 계기를 제공한 앨범. Merge 에서 재발매된 본 작은 그들을 SST의 간판으로 급부상하게 만들어 주었고, 또한 로파이 레코딩을 전세계적으로 유행시켰으며 노이지한 바탕에 멜로디를 입힌 인디팝의 전형적인 공식을 만들었다. 최근 Lou Barlow와 J Mascis를 주축으로 재결성 공연을 진행중인 이들의 귀환을 쌍수를 들고 환영하는 바이다. Little Fury Things과 Just Like Heaven의 비디오가 보너스로 추가되어 있다.
A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl
I stopped to call, tried to feel it all Stuck my hand and pulled real hard Got stretch in miles, not in yards Then I read, about all those who believe all of your lies Sunlight brings the rage right in your eyes
A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl
A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl
I'm waiting, please come by I've got the guts now To meet your eye Those guts are killing But I can't stop now Got to connect with you girl Before I forget how Please wanna hang around You'll gawk and wonder What it is we found
I'm waiting, please come by I've got the guts now To meet your eye Those guts are killing But I can't stop now Got to connect with you girl Before I forget how Please wanna hang around? You gawk and wonder What it is we found
No where to collapse the lung Breathes a doubt in everyone No where to collapse the lung Breathes a doubt in everyone No where to collapse the lung Breathes a doubt in everyone No where to collapse the lung Breathes a doubt in everyone
The lights exploded She stood burning in front of me She ripped my heart out beating My eyes wouldn't open, cemented to her face Have I begun a feeble chase?
I'll be down, I'll be around I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be I'll just stare and hope you'll care It's only everything standing in front of me
I know what you did to me I know what you did was wrong You're allowed to torture me Wait a moment until I'm gone I know you're the ticket, you gotta be 'Cause I let you alone for long Got to be so completely Got to be so I can't hang on
(you're killing me)
I'll be down, I'll be around I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be I'll just stare and hope you'll care It's only everything standing in front of me
I'll be down, I'll be around I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be Then that man is standing there Now you'll have to decide the fate of my sanity
Hey, what's bubbling down under there? Why's it screaming? What's unfair? Please excuse it for getting high. Let the shelter swell inside. How should I know? Watch it squirm. It's asking me "What's that I've learned?"
Stay inside, pull me out of space. Tread me sprinkling grace. Stay and pave my faith.
Thought I knew you, stuck out my hand. You bit, wish I could understand. It's a twisted feeling, staring bored. Now it's time to burn the hope I stored. Wait for me there, dash and run. Still, your righteousness won't be outdone.
Stay inside, pull me out of space. Tread me, sprinkling grace. Stay and pave my faith.
Pave my faith, pave my faith, Pave my faith, and pave my faith.
I'll be grazing by your window Please come pat me on the head I just want to find out what you're nice to me for When I look up, don't think I don't know About all the scabs you dread It's hard to stomach the gore
I know you don't have the patience To peel 'em off no more In a jar where you fed me All I could do was lick your hand In a jar the scars are plain to see I hope somehow you'll know I understand
I'll be grazing by your window Please come pat me on the head I just want to find out what you're nice to me for Then you smile and decide to take me in 'Cause I look cute by your bed But I can feel it's just a little more
I'll watch you fall apart, babe you know it You know I'm your new start, babe, don't blow it Just unscrew the top, yeah Pick me up now just can't stop
In a jar where you fed me All I could do was lick your hand In a jar the scars are plain to see I hope somehow you'll know I understand Scabs collect beneath your bureau From the knife wounds you got
Can't believe a single word I've said And every subject's the only one that's dead And there's nothing from my side Just yourself You'll split I'll begin 'Bout to fight
Greatest stories pass, in my mind Must be a better way to pass my time To think the focus just belongs to me Selfish man, I know I'm nothing to me
So when I thought I had more to say Swimmin' in my head Chained to this corpse For one more day
Little lies start around Not a show, feel so down And I struggle right inside out Reach the wall, and spiral down Retchedness And I'm hardly standing still I'll be there
Sometimes thinking right I can't believe I was chosen to exist 'Cause only Jesus Christ himself can even exist, he says So though we kill this need to always understand Cut the world and tell me it fits on the back of your hand
Not an innocent I've made my place That settle turning smirk That's always fixed upon my face Walking weakness Hope I die without a sound I'm a little boy With my feet nailed to the ground I know I'm guilty My stomach always hurts Milking your attention For the little it is worth I'm turning browner every day I'm really turning down a stay Tired of your little man I've been around too long Tired of walking Talking with me Edging me along Well, I detest your patience I know you've always known You know that I'm a thief So afraid to be alone Alone (That's that) [Static] Nothing's real I don't care It's a lie, I wound I'm a stupid baby Only breaks in two
[noise] (Jesus) (Jesus is Christ) [noise] I don't see I don't feel Like every little moron I think nothing's real I don't care It's a lie, I wound Darling skip the faith That only breaks in two [noise] Good doesn't live And there's no evil here Only this great power We misunderstand So please relax Take a pain Laugh out loud When you forget your name (Jesus) Relax, take the pain Laugh out loud When you forget your name Good doesn't live There's no evil here Only this great power We misunderstand We'll tell you about everything We'll tell you about everything (Now)
'Show me how you do that trick The one that makes me scream,' she said 'The one that makes me laugh,' she said And threw her arms around my head 'Show me how you do it And I promise you, I promise that I'll run away with you I'll run away with you...'
Spinning on that dizzy air I kissed her face and kissed her hair And dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow 'Why are you so far away?' she said 'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you, That I'm in love with you?'
Soft and only
Lost and lonely
Strange as angels Sitting in the deepest oceans Sitting in the water, you're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape I must have been asleep for days And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes I found myself alone Alone Alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me
