Tight Globes

Taken from "Speak Kindly Of Your Volunteer Fire Department" 1999

"Blonde machine in yellow spacecar
zip your legs in smooth rubber
You pass me and harass me
#1 is on the run

I saw you outta my cave
you didn’t see me
you never see me

Ugliest affairs in print
jumbled societies’ children
where’d you pop in?

Blonde machine....

All the glands that you shoot through
tight globes
international she goes out
fresh from the sweat factory I’m in love tonight -
perhaps we’ll be best friends for a week"

Another GBV classic in both Recorded and Live format. A song full of invention, chord changes and tempo changes but manages to hang together perfectly. Good stuff indeed. "Tight Globes"? Is he referring to a lovely pair of breasts? lol. Classic.

I was fortunate to see this song performed live before Speak Kindly..came out. I love the song but still prefer live versions. GBV just ROCK so hard!
