Rating: Beauty... a tropical landscape with "attachments" of blue blue sea, white white beach, sunset sun. Beauty... tender leaves in spring, a beautiful woman with a beautiful gaze, a car with bodywork shaped by the wind... But for you, for whom Beauty is also something, how to say, "dirty," for you who can see beauty in a metallic Roman suburb in November, for you who can see beauty in the smell of earth scented with cow mossy droppings, for you who can see beauty almost everywhere there's the creative power of Contrast... then take Pixies' Bossanova as you would a glass of wine in mid-summer, and drink it down without too much fuss... . It is made of stones and velvet... let yourself be dazed just enough by "Rock Music" by "Hang Wire" be enchanted by "All Over The World" by "The Happening," passing through "Velouria" and "Ana"... at the end of the journey you will surely have a quantum of energy more, and a rough caress to give.

03 Velouria (03:40)

travelling career
she can really move
oh velveteen!
my velouria, my velouria
even i'll adore you
my velouria
say to me
where have you been
finally through the roof
and how does lemur skin
reflect the sea?
we will wade in the shine of the ever
we will wade in the shine of the ever
we will wade in the tides of the summer
every summer
every summer
every

05 Is She Weird (03:01)
I know you're rich in
good clothes and little things
your mind is fancy
(and your car is bitchin')
Is she weird?...
Is she weird?
is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
and her head has no room
Is she weird?
is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
and her head has no room
Is she weird?
is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
and her head has no room
and her head has no room
Your heart is ripshit
Your mouth is everywhere
I'm lyin in it
is she weird?
is she over me?
like the stars and the sun
like the stars and the sun
is she weird?
is she white?
is she promised to the night?
and her head has no room!
is she weird?
is she white?
is she promised to the night?
and her head has no room!
is she weird?
is she white?
is she promised to the night?
and her head has no room!
and her head has no room!
No more of this girl cryin'
I'm here,your big man
you're mine
is she weird, is she white
is she promised to the night
and her head has no room
06 Ana (02:09)
she's my fave
undressing in the sun
return to sea - bye
forgetting everyone
eleven high
ride a wave
07 All Over the World (05:26)
with a pet at my side
God in the sky
snow falling down
freeze my body to the ground
i can't ride
but one more time
i will ride
all over the world
washed over the side
top of the sky
slow diver down
two feet land on a different fround
you can't live easily
you can't even speak
but all of them speak
all over the world
i will meet you over there
i am going to meet you over there
washed over the side
top of the sky
slow diver down
two feet land on a different ground
you can't live easily
you can't even speak
fish all of them speak
all over the world
a plain with no herd
not even a bird
when one side is hot
the other side of the moon is not
it's just like a ride
maybe some time
they'll make it a ride
all over the world
i will meet you over there
i am going to meet you over there
time is an arrangement
time is an arranger
i am a derangement
all my thoughts
all i am are my thoughts
all my thoughts
i am all what i'm taught
better call the ranger
got a train derailment
better call the ranger
what i'm taught
all i am are my thoughts
all my thoughts
all i am are my thoughts
what i'm not
08 Dig for Fire (03:02)
there is this old woman,
she lives down the road,
you can'm often find her...
..kneeling inside of her hole
and I often ask her
"are you looking for the mother lode?"
huh?
no.
no my child, this is not my desire
and then she said
I'm digging for fire (x4)
there is this old man...
...who spent so much of his life sleeping...
...that he is able to keep awake for the rest of his years
he resides
on a beach
in a town
where I am going to live
and I often ask him
"are you looking for the mother lode?"
huh?
no.
no my child, this is not my desire
and then he said...
...
...
I'm digging for fire (x4)
09 Down to the Well (02:29)
betty always knows
betty always tells
she laughing desperately
she said it felt like a river inside her bones
when she went down to the well
i'm gonna be with her
she is gonna take me there
lead me by my hand
her body a rocking chair for my soul
i can hardly wait, baby
i can hardly wait
'til we go down to the well
down to the well
been thinking to myself
and if a life's not long
what matter does it make
if there'll be favorite songs playing in my head
when we go down to the well
i can hardly wait, betty
i can hardly wait
'till we go down to the well
down to the well
10 The Happening (04:19)
they got a ranch they call
number fifty-one
they got a ranch they call
number fifty-one
can't see it all
'less your flying by
just sitting there square
baking in the sun
beneath the sky
they're gonna put it down
right on the strip
they're gonna put it down
on the Vegas strip
they're gonna put it down
and step outside
into the lights
right outta that ship
saying Hi!
i was driving doing nothing on the shores of Great Salt Lake
when they put it on the air i put it in the hammer lane
i soon forgot myeslf and i forgot about the brake
i forgot all laws and i forgot about the rain
they were talking on the 9 and all across the amy band
across the road they were turning around and headed south with me
it got so crowded on the road i started driving in the sand
my head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free
the desert turned to mud it seems that everybody heard
everybody was remembering to forget they had the chills
then i heard the voices on a broadcast from up on the bird
they were getting interviewed by some Goodman whose name was Bill
i'm almost there to Vegas where they're puttin' on a show
they've come so far i've lived this long at least i must just go and say
hello
12 Hang Wire (02:01)
They're going higher
Wind is whistling on the barbs
Your head's a hammer
Hang wire, hang wire
Hang wire
(Meet you at the) hang wire
That man is a liar
The day is like a warm night
Salt rusts the cold line
Hang wire, hang wire
Hang wire
(Meet you at the) hang wire
Every morning and every day
I'll bossanova with ya
If there were a fire
Can we scratch beneath this
Hang wire, hang wire
Hang wire
(Meet you at the) hang wire?
14 Havalina (02:33)
Havalina
Walking in the breeze
On the plains of old Sedona
Arizona
Among the trees

"The 4 elves seem 'slowed down,' and the atmosphere they immerse themselves in changes."
"Pixies' early records are often exclusively cited: nothing could be more wrong, because 'Bossanova' and 'Trompe le monde' are equally (if not more) valid."
By masturbatio
We are all somewhat complicit in your death, Piero of our times, the drug of the 21st century is irresponsibility.
I put on my favorite Pixies record and dedicate to you "Blown Away." I wonder if while you jumped, you were smiling.
