Underwater Explosions

Taken from "Under The Bushes Under The Stars" 1996

"once she was down and she opened
crate of secrets darker than she
underwater explosions - curtains rippling obviously

she can breathe
since i've been tired, she can breathe
and the shocks are bound to please
and she points to me

to insist on facing the salt and it stings
and certainly that changes things
and she points to me
(something passes through me)

cups painted orange and sunburst
lined up side by side - she keeps them so clean
brightly they shine in the starlight
but darker places i've never seen

she can breathe
since i've been tired, she can breathe
and the shocks are bound to please
and she points to me

to insist on facing the salt and it stings
and certainly that changes things
and she points to me
(something passes through me)

and the sound will carry you on"

A bit of a minor GBV classic this one. Love the sound of the bass and vocals in this song and how the Chorus soars and uplifts. Reminds me a bit of "Drag Days" in sound but not quite reaching Drag days glory. A good song that every GBV fan will be fully aware of.
