Picture Me Big Time Lyrics

Picture me big time
Up along the range
With this woman of mine
Driving me insane

Parasites baby....
Don't you know
I can't lie to you

There was a band from Beantown
They drove the now sound
With a girl at the top of her lungs now
Yeah, a girl at the top of her lungs

She'd tell the people baby
The world will settle down for no one
I will deliver to you

To one another in every place
Who speak like brothers
And leave no trace
Of a world still divided by tongues
Yeah, the world's still divided by tongues

You want to keep it closer now,
don't you
But there are words that speak to everyone
Which I will deliver to you
I will deliver to you
I will deliver to you

Can't help wondering if the "band from Beantown" that "drove the new sound" refers to an actual band. Possibly the Pixies? Especially as the song that immediately follows this, "An Unmarketed Product", has a Pixies-ish sound to it.

That's definitely the pixies. And "the girl at the top of her lungs" is Kim Deal, with whom Bob has kind of a history. I also think GBV looked up to the breeders a lot, since they were from the same town (Jim MacPherson from the breeders was the drummer on this record). Every indie band wanted to be the pixies in the 90's, and this was GBV's last chance. Kinda sad how the last song on the record is called "an unmarketed product".... and that's exactly what Do The Collapse was.
