Sing it, Frank

I dusted off the Pixies' Come On Pilgrim ep to give it a few spins at work this week, and so I thought I should share some of their demented wisdom with you dear readers. I'm happy to say that I'll be catching them on their reunion tour in a couple of weeks (although I'm not sure what one does in a venue with...."seats"). Seriously one of the best rock bands ever, as evidenced by the first verse from "I've Been Tired":

One, two, three
She's a real left winger 'cause she been down south
And held peasants in her arms
She said "I could tell you stories that could make you cry"
"What about you?"
I said "Me too"
"I could tell you a story that will make you cry"
And she sighed "Ahhh"
I said "I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed"
"I like Lou Reed" she said sticking her tongue in my ear
"Let's go, let's sit, let's talk, politics go so good with beer"
"And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?"
I said "Losing my penis to a whore with disease"
"Just kidding" I said "Losing my life to a whore with disease"
She said, "Excuse me, please?"
I said "Please... I'm a humble guy with a healthy desire"
"Don't give me no shit because..."
"I've been tired"
