| Pixies – Stormy Weather Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This is one of my favorite Pixies songs. I think the line "it is time for stormy weather" is purposely juxtaposed to be kind of funny. But funny in a Fargo sense. Every time I hear this song I think thing about something typically bad happening (i.e. girl friend break up, friends saying you have a drinking problem, you lose your job) and you imagine the repercussions before they happen. Almost like seeing a tidal wave rise and knowing there is no point in running. You just stand there and think "well, sh*t". | |
| Pixies – Tame Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I think there are two possibilities for this song. He spends a great deal of time describing the b"raunchy" attributes of a woman that he has recently met ("Making good friends with you", I picture a bar situation). Black is probably talking about low down sexual women, his encounters with them and ultimately concluding they are "Tame" in comparison. You can see this from the say he sings the song. All the lines describing the woman are whispered and the tame parts have a guttural scream to them. Also the descriptions seem to come more from the mind and the repetition of tame is more animalistic. Also, tame and the descriptions of the woman might be a commentary how women are forced to shape themselves to men's standards. |
