"Why can't you see that it's not cool?
To wait in handing (?) after school
Tell you what I'll do
I'll leave it up to you
Messenger, messenger
I wanna be your boy, your messenger
Messenger, messenger
I wanna be your boy, your messenger
I know it gets so hard to choose
I'll be the one to break the news
Tell you what I'll do
I'll leave it up to you"
A very 60s garage pop slice of early Guided By Voices pleasure. A great upbeat tune and some fantastic vocals. The chorus is amazing and would easily make it onto a "proper" album release by GBV or REM. Great song.

I agree this song just kicks it! It's nice to see you back XRayLexx!
Loved this one I first heard it. The garage band sonority nails it- sweet tune, sweet lyrics. I almost wish Pollard had stayed in the basement (read:snakepit) riffing on Merseybeat and Freakbeat: I could listen to this all day. A gem.
