Knock 'Em Flyin'

Taken from "Mag Earwig!" 1997

"When you're called to the plough
You will always slide inside her
If you work really hard
You will lose yourself and wrong her
Wait a little longer
Plough when you feel it
It's your right-tonight
And take it slow
If you grow it will you try it
You'll be so inspired to go out
And bring back the only one who matters anyhow"

A lovely stop starty but well produced mini-classic from Guided By Voices. The song, as is the way with a lot of Pollard tracks, is very staccato at the start but eventually gets going towards then end, just as the fade begins. Hes a crazy guys that Pollard, loves to mess with us. The lyrics to me come across very saucy and could be interpreted in a very sexual way. Or is it someone just enjoying a bit of farm work?

A five star classic. Bob and GBVerde transformed this Tonics tune into one of the most Who-like in the entire Pollard canon- just check put that fade! Pure Who's Next!
