Cover art for Big Eyed Beans from Venus lyrics by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band

I think this is a love song, believe it or not. A simple, really great love song. The Big Eyed Bean is not from Venus by accident. It is a symbol - a strange symbol granted - for love.

"Don't let anything get in between us" ... what a great line. It's so easy sometimes for outside forces to break apart couples. Anyhow , just my two cents on this one and I wholeheartedly agree about the guitar work ... just killer.

Oh yeah, and that part where he goes "you can be on the right track woman - of course, of course" ... so cool. It makes me smile every time. He was so cool, in such a strange kind of way .. Let's hear it for the Captain!
