One of my favourite King Missile tracks. Obviously it's a satirical piece. I'm not sure how some people seem to miss that. The music fits so well. I love how the bass gently carries the tune into a full blown rant and rage. Those chugs of harsh distorted guitar and shrieks of violin.really getting the listener into the mood. It sounds like an almost unstoppable machine chugging along. Really quite a powerful piece of music, both lyrically and instrumentally. They go hand in hand. In my opinion, this really shows the genius of King Missile that so many have missed. I find it a huge shame that they are so overlooked because most perceive them as just a college-humour band. Yet, I am so happy I listened to every single release of theirs and saw beyond all of that. One of my top bands because of works like this/ And also the brilliantly put together lyrics of others such as "Ed" deserve a mention. |

| Pixies – Greens And Blues Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I agree that it's a song about a missed connection. I feel that it's about a previously very much in love couple who are going through a rough patch and perhaps, at least temporarily, falling out of love . One is finding it difficult to reciprocate the same love and affection that the other shows towards them and thus feels they are now wasting the time of the one who loves them so. "I'm not together, and you know it's true. My bits all wander in the trees" to me translates as "We both know I have some issues. But I'd prefer to avoid the subject" And "I said I'm human but you know I lied" is said person feeling they are so removed from the person they were in the beginning of the relationship, that they feel almost alien, guilty, and unworthy of their lover. To "slip into the greens and blues" is the want to be barely a memory in the vast ocean of the mind. Until they sort out their personal issues, they want to disappear. However, they feel universally connected and hope to meet,reconnect and give love another shot in the future. - My personal take on this song, anyway. |
