Lips of Steel

Taken from "Sandbox" 1987.

"It's unreal you to tell me what I'm feeling
Strong emotions bouncing off the ceiling

Show me how far you can go
As close as I can get
As much as I will know

Stretch the truth and
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Trust your leaders
Superman with lips of steel

Show me how far you an go
We've got to get real close, now
Let's go see the show

We are on our way
We believe what you say

Ladies and Gentleman, Back by popular demand
for your entertainment and spirtual enlightment
Electric Jam Soul Aquariam"

A perfect 1 minute 30 pop song from the early years of Guided By Voices. A pastiche of "You really got me Going" and other British Invasion type songs and hard to believe this was recorded on an 8 track proabably in someones garage. Nice little talky bit at the end which again echoes R.E.M. again. Its amazing how a band so clearly influenced by R.E.M. is a band that sounds so unique themselves.
