Hot hands
Move things
I write in his wall
I have no mind at all
Hot things
Move him
I write on his wall
I have no heart at all
I think she's a pretty little fool
She holds me down, she flows
She has a back like Marie
I think he's a crazy bastard
Drives me home, he goes
You have a back like Marie
You have pearls in your eyes
And you use your burning to wrap yourself in
And you use your fever to hide yourself away
And you use sweating to keep me down
And you use your heat to have me
And you use your fire to be stronger than me
And you use your flame against me
I won't come back like Marie
The pearls on my eyes
These pearls on my eyes
They make me blind
I write on your wall
I have no eyes at all
I write on your wall
I have no eyes at all

It's a solid 1. Nothing can redeem that opening. Nothing. This might be the worst song I have heard so far this year. Way beyond terrible.

Too late...as you can see, the comparisons been made. And I second that emotion. But I think it rings of another early 90's group. Eve's Plum...good rocking behind hard gritty female vocals. Any Breeders fan out there?

Just when it was getting weird and tense, the guitar began cranking HARD, and things went warp speed and the sound was incredible and I was like, Damn that was good...

Hey! Loved how it really kicked out the jams in the middle section....I've never heard any Throwing Muses. Guess I'll have to do some searching. Any tips out there?

Depends whether you're into schizo-lyrics or not. Personally I'm rating 2 but it might yet go down to a 1
It's headed in that direction for me too.

I was just thinking this song has a very '60's SF acid rock sound.

Cool. I never liked Red Heaven at first but it really grew... it helped that there was a track with Bob Mould on the album. -Adrian
Interesting...the Bob Mould contribution is the only part of this album that I don't like.

Best song from this album, IMO. L really like Throwing Muses, but I think I like Kristin Hersh solo even better,

Love the Muses! Discordant, melodic, entrancing, enticing, driving - incredible. Even better live. Wonderful!

I thought I recognised that voice. I'm not sure that I like it though, think I prefer her acoustic and solo :(

I thought I heard Mz. Hersh... Nice addition to the playlist!
