Steve Albini's Blues Lyrics
on the bridge out of Hammond
see them brake lights burning feel my motor turnin
on the bridge out of Hammond
see the big city moon
see how it close comes (x2)
watch my wiper blades pound it like a drum
on the bridge out of Hammond (x2)
think about what's darkening my life (x2)
see the light of the afterworld shining on the ruins
it's the light of nowhere else burning to the west
see its sulphery shine (x2)
from the bridge out of Hammond (x2)
see the big city moon (x3)
between the radio towers
between the big diesel rigs
in the Midwest's witching hour
i watch the whole town eclipse
from the bridge out of Hammond (x4)
see them brake lights burning feel my motor turnin
on the bridge out of Hammond
see the big city moon
see how it close comes (x2)
watch my wiper blades pound it like a drum
on the bridge out of Hammond (x2)
think about what's darkening my life (x2)
see the light of the afterworld shining on the ruins
it's the light of nowhere else burning to the west
see its sulphery shine (x2)
from the bridge out of Hammond (x2)
see the big city moon (x3)
between the radio towers
between the big diesel rigs
in the Midwest's witching hour
i watch the whole town eclipse
from the bridge out of Hammond (x4)

Don't know what this song is about, but it's worth mentioning that Steve Albini is the lead singer/ guitarist of Shellac, one of the greatest bands of all time. He's also a producer, with Nirvana's In Utero and the first Pixies album to his credit.
So, i heard that it's about Jason wanting to work with Albini but not getting the chance or something like that.
@plosion 14 years later, you've probably realized Albini produced the album this was on.

Amazing song. Wanted to add that the other people singing on this song are Jim Krewson and Jennie Bedford, from Jim and Jennie and the Pine Tops.
