Head On Lyrics:
As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
I get an electric shock from you
This secondhand living just won't do
And the way I feel tonight
I could die and I wouldn't mind
And there's something going on inside
Makes you want to feel
Makes you want to try
Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky
And I can't stand up
I can't cool down
I can't get my head off the ground
As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
And all I ever got from you
Was all I ever took from you
Yeah, the world could die in pain
And I wouldn't feel no shame
And there's nothing holding me to blame
Makes you want to feel
Makes you want to try
Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky
And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
Makes you want to feel
Makes you want to try
Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky
The Jesus and Mary Chain cover!
Thanks to @uselessmoderngod for reminding me of this.
Not that you asked, :) but my first Pixies exposure was a used cassette I found in my local record shop, around 1987 or 1988. I bought it to check them out, since I’d read their name in a couple of magazines by then and hated them at first. Black Francis’ voice was so grating, I thought. Somehow, I heard something worth sticking with though so I gave Doolittle a couple more tries. Long story short, I’ve loved them ever since. Jumping to now, I’m not a huge fan of the recent post-Kim Deal music, but they’re still in my top 5 bands overall.
I’m glad to see there are still a few folks who still like them.
@perishthethought I love The Pixies and am passing down that love to at least one of my kids (my 11-year old doesn’t like my music, but my 5-year old does). I didn’t get exposed to alternative music until 1990 when I got this cassette and started watching 120 Minutes on MTV probably a year later (basically post-Nirvana)

Wow, cool. That compilation is crazy - sonic youth and modern english on the same album is cool. I remember watching 120 minutes a lot back in the day.
@perishthethought Check out volume 2. I wish they continued making these compilations!
