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,
I just want some problem into solution ?
This incurable fascination would be totally beaten up
I just want someone to slap me right in the mouth
Did you ever get cursed to while you're walking down the street?
I just want some...
Cradle with fascination I would be totally beaten up ?
I just want someone to slap me right in the mouth
Did you ever get cursed to while you're walking down the street?
Please me by a door
Bare feet I ?
PLease me by time?
Bare feet I ???
I will return now
It's a smell that drives them cause of you
They are not fascinated by my eyes
It's a smell that drives them wild
They are not fascinated by my eyes
This incurable fascination would be totally beaten up
I just want someone to slap me right in the mouth
Did you ever get cursed to while you're walking down the street?
I just want some...
Cradle with fascination I would be totally beaten up ?
I just want someone to slap me right in the mouth
Did you ever get cursed to while you're walking down the street?
Please me by a door
Bare feet I ?
PLease me by time?
Bare feet I ???
I will return now
It's a smell that drives them cause of you
They are not fascinated by my eyes
It's a smell that drives them wild
They are not fascinated by my eyes
