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?

Oh Tobin! Sometimes overlooked in his songwriting contribution to GBV. Pesonally, EVERY GBV compile I make for friends includes 'Perfect Bliss' and 'To remake the young flyer'. I instruct every GBV fan who hasn't heard the solo version of 'Atom Eyes' on the 'Single Wish' compile to seek it out IMMEDIATELY. It's as beautiful as it gets
