Cherub
Cherub the angel
Roll back the hands of time

Cherub
Enter the angel

aaaaaaahhhh!

You walk alone now
You're never mind
The walks you've taken
have left behind
All people sideways
They look at you
may god forsake me
cause I do to

I see bodies
Maybe, maybe someone is alive
Naked we smile

Hoo-hahahahahahahah, a-hahahahahohoho

Naked

Ha-ha

ahhhh

You're right beside me
you gaze a view
your body's vacant
they crawl right through

those bodies falling
it's in the air
we're mixed so close now
but I don't care

ha ha ha

walk upon me
your body lead
you try to escape you
it's in your head


I'd better go back
I'm not over there

You walk beside me
you gaze at me
you're homeless now
or that times three

amazon
you gaze along
I'll make you talk you
there is no bong

your mind has cut you
you're bleeding now
your plans escaped
just like a bow

they walk right past you
they stop and stare
your body's lying
all over there

ha-he-he-he-he

feh

    My Opinion

    The studio version is clear, kick-ass, a fine version. The Surfers' live versions on Youtube are also fun. But this video clip captures that nightmare version (Gibby going from accountant to running naked in public), playful nightmare, having fun, but just on the edge of society, Butthole Surfer style.

    youtube.com/watch

    It's Texas psycho-punk at it's best. When Gibby screeches through the megaphone into the mike, it's heavenly hell. Paul screeches through his guitar, eyes closed, head shaking, a shaman.... The lyrics are meaningless beautiful cacophony, cherub angels, bullshit. It's beautiful insanity, beautiful insanity, beautiful insanity. Tasty.

    When I watch this, when I play this song loud, I forget everything else. It's a nightmare, but I'm on top. I'm the fucker, not the fucked...

    And I laugh out loud, crazier, louder than the other fuckheads...

    Shut up! Shut UUUUUUUUUPPPPPP!!!!!!

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
