Man Called Aerodynamics

Taken from "Under The Bushes Under The Stars" 1996

"Find deep within your memory coat
a cricket bag you ate from
it's sweet smiling apology acceptance awaits you
don't be afraid to cherish it
look it up in the book mobile
look it up in the gun rack
in the magazine rack
or the map!
for it is only after the fence comes down
that the cartoon bubble explodes
and the new party begins
invitation only - still in a senator's suitcase
let them out and dance for the ant god
like scary magnets to pounce upon command
upon the man
the man called aerodynamics"

A rhythm like a racing train and a wall of sound approach to this GBV classic. Though this song isnt of transitional structure and doesn't really go many places its still great. I'm still not sure which my favourite GBV album is, Bee Thousand? Alien Lanes? Under The Bushes? All 3 are packed with fantastic songs.
