Atom Eyes

Taken from "Under The Bushes Under The Stars" 1998

"i'm dreaming and so it must be true
nothing else could look as good as you do
and so in a rocket go
up to where the astros flow into space
don't hold me down

atom eyes, don't worry your brain
take a break from everyday
sell the house, the car, the pain
(just be sure to live again)
atom eyes

i'm running away from your clues
atomizer sprinklers are spraying perfume
escape a lobotomy
there's a million heartstrings ready to fly
let's pull them now

atom eyes, don't worry your brain
take a break from everyday
sell the house, the car, the pain
(just be sure to live again)
atom eyes

atom eyes, don't worry your brain
take a break from everyday
sell the house, the car, the pain
(just be sure to live again)
atom eyes"

A classic from classic era-GBV. Sort and beautiful but full of punch and drive. The Beatles would have been proud to have written and sung this song. Good stuff Tobin. Wait no Pollard today?

Sylph

Taken from "The Planets Are Blasted" 2009

Lyics Unknown

Quite a slow song from The Boston Spaceships who usually mode of transport is speedy Garage Rock. This song would fit quite nicely on a Robert Pollard solo album. Its got a nice swingy sort of chorus and definitely makes you feel happy when listening to it. Again, a good song. In case you were wondering ; Sylph (also called sylphid) is a mythological creature in the Western tradition. The term originates in Paracelsus, who describes sylphs as invisible beings of the air, his elementals of air.

Star Peppered Wheatgerm

Taken from "Ringworm Interiors" 2001

"(so long) to sonar (goodbye) to confidence
star peppered wheat germ
dark colonies erratic constellations
compile your filthiness in a balled up corner
star peppered wheat germ like dust
and fragmented waiting so long"

3 Random Words. Is there a machine somewhere that comes up with these titles? A slow track that reminds me a bit of Rodan or Slint or something of that ilk. Tempo picks up a bit at the end. Not bad.

Hello Forever

Taken from "All That Is Holy" 2006

Lyrics Unknown

Im sure this turned into a "proper" song, or at least the backing did. Bob sort of makes "word-noises" over a synth led track. Good song.
