Big Boring Wedding

Taken from "Under the Bushes Under the Stars" 1996

"i have entered a shiny new realm a very different and very spoiled world it's with great pleasure i introduce myself to call and thank you for such delicious pie
the irony is sweet - the bird is paralyzed with one good finger you try me on for size it's hard to imagine that you just wanna leave with yellow photos - pocket-size
revealing mobility, your psychedelic eye, spontaneous and violent but private to the mind with nowhere left to go pass the word, the chicks are back the chicks are back, yeah the chicks are back pass the word, the chicks are back the chicks are back, yeah the chicks are back
the chandelier is spinning and shaking the fireball is already waking
revealing mobility, your psychedelic eye, spontaneous and violent but private to the mind with nowhere left to go pass the word, the chicks are back the chicks are back, yeah the chicks are back pass the word, the chicks are back the chicks are back, yeah the chicks are back"

A classic from a classic era Guided By Voices release. This song is very typical of the Guided By Voices sound that made me fall in love with them. It has one of the best punch-yer-fist in the air choruses "The Chicks Are Back!" (indeed) and has the classic mixed up psychedelic lyrics we all come to expect. This song builds slowly and slightly into a great song that brings back many a happy memory. On a personal note, my Wedding was small and rather excellent.
