This songs always sounds fresh and new every time I hear it. I mean, "Chrome-like phosphorescent teeth and mud-yellow skin" ???? How awesome is that!? :D
Is it possible we will ever hear this song with Throwing Muses treatment? It's one of my favorite songs ever. I just think it would rock even harder with Bernard and the great David N. on bass and drums :)
¨ou soft-soap the soft-shelled The porous morons like me And you're not sorry Piece of cake to shake off principles Hard-won scruples And pretty virtue Crushed into the bottom Of mud-yellow sand like a slippershell Chrome Like phosphorescent teeth In mud-yellow skin You're a slippershell And you can go to hell Hard water down your throat Down your back Hard to say it's hard luck When you're so happy Hard to say it's hard luck When you had it coming Crushed into the bottom Of mud-yellow sand like a slippershell Chrome Like phosphorescent teeth In mud-yellow skin You're a slippershell And you can go to hell Maybe see me there Can't you see it's a white-out Made of chrome? Can't you see the white-out? It's why I piss and moan It's why I can't go home Wallet full of fat Belly full of milk You're touchingly, deeply fulfilled You're very old You're very new You're touchingly, deeply confused Can't you see the white-out? No I guess you don't¨ - Kristen Hersh
Love the bells in this. They're like the icing on the cake though - the rest is pretty darned awesome too.

Can't wait for Purgatory/Paradise. I'm going to hold my breath until you people finally let us have it!
Yes, Angela...that's distinctly possible. xoK
Fascinating drums well done. An important part of song writing, but Kristin does not need to prove it any more.

Kristin is much more better alone than Throwing Muses!
I’d rather 50 ft wave have a go
Speedbath, too. And Milan, and ...
sublime
Thank you thank you thank you K + B. I'm with Angela, a Muses version would be amazing.
love love loving it #heart
¨ou soft-soap the soft-shelled
The porous morons like me
And you're not sorry
Piece of cake to shake off principles
Hard-won scruples
And pretty virtue
Crushed into the bottom
Of mud-yellow sand like a slippershell
Chrome
Like phosphorescent teeth
In mud-yellow skin
You're a slippershell
And you can go to hell
Hard water down your throat
Down your back
Hard to say it's hard luck
When you're so happy
Hard to say it's hard luck
When you had it coming
Crushed into the bottom
Of mud-yellow sand like a slippershell
Chrome
Like phosphorescent teeth
In mud-yellow skin
You're a slippershell
And you can go to hell
Maybe see me there
Can't you see it's a white-out
Made of chrome?
Can't you see the white-out?
It's why I piss and moan
It's why I can't go home
Wallet full of fat
Belly full of milk
You're touchingly, deeply fulfilled
You're very old
You're very new
You're touchingly, deeply confused
Can't you see the white-out?
No
I guess you don't¨ - Kristen Hersh
aw shucks...
