lovely feelgood song from the borderline brilliant japanese new wave band plastics. a break from their often minimalistic intrumentation. oddball lyrics, nice guitar, harmonica and extremely enthusiastic singing.
i love the way the male vocalist seems to be holding his nose while singing in the beginning of the song.
waiting for the taxi
standing in the snow white
newspapers falling on the ground
it's cold and cold and cold
new york is frozen steak
teddy bear and kitty cat
fireplace and candles
all you need is weapon
this is peace
this is funny fairy tale
green green green peace
high high high heel
inside is outside
world is nonsense
dream of the tide wave
my peace is your peace
peace by the people
peace for the peace
this is peace
this is funny fairy tale
all i see is green green
grave yard of lily white
sleeping beauty laying there
with dots and symbols
marmalade evening
fur coats and venus
venus and mighty dragon said
all you need is weapon
i`m on a pixies high now. thank your favourite fictional deity that they`ve still got it:) it`s always a relief when reunions actually work..
this track from their debut ep is freaky and wonderful, like most pixies tracks. the lyrics are among their best (and most coherent!)
you-are-the-son of incestuous union!
probably the most uplifting song ever recorded. very basic and simple, but genuinely endearing. paul evans has a nice laugh, the boyish quality of it really makes the song for me.
the song was sort of a theme song for john waters` film "pecker", by the way.
