I went away to see an old friend of mine
His sister came over she was out of her mind
She said Jesus had a twin who knew nothing about sin
She was laughing like crazy at the trouble I'm in
Her light eyes were dancing she is insane
Her brother says she's just a bitch with a golden chain
She keeps coming closer saying "I can feel it in my bones
Schizophrenia is taking me home"
My future is static
It's already had it
I could tuck you in
And we can talk about it
I had a dream
And it split the scene
But I got a hunch
It's coming back to me

Wow some new SY on RP....excellent!  A HUGE fan....they have so many jewels within their catalogue, and I admit it can be an adventure in sound finding them....  {#Cheers}   ....and granted....this is NOT for everyone!

That was not the most aesthetically-pleasing sequence of noises ever to issue from my headphones.

I swear if all they can do is bang on the darn thing it needs to be bashed over their heads!!! Then they would feel what it does to mine!


 

Context, dude... I'll drop the news to you gently: You haven't got a clue.

If this is what schizophrenia is like, I'll just op for the gun or the cliff.

After first listen, I don't think I will want to hear it a second time. After my ears stop bleeding, I may reconsider.
I'll second that.

it really doesn't get much better than this, it sounds just as good today as when i first heard it! rated 9, maybe should be 10 - can anything be a 10?

Tremendous hearing this again on RP! Love Kim's voice, and those dissonant guitar whangings. One of the best things from one of the best albums of their "classic" period. Eat your heart out, Glenn Branca.

Their new album is coming out very soon! June, I believe.
