devastatorjr is spot on. how the fuck a line like 'someone took...in these pants...somebody painted over paint; painted wood' has some sort of profound effect on me i will never know. both verses in fact are perfection. i've never really tried to interpret any of it, but 'so look up and watch the camera lens, when the risers fade' has that weight of meaning about it, just the sound, the way the words sit together, that it sounds like the end of everything in the room. i love the fact that it sounds so fucking jaunty as well.
the salon cover is decent, but i had the fortune to see pavement play it live in either '95 or '96 and it made my evening - i think in the end i saw them play pretty much everything that i love over various shows apart from 'greenlander'.
