What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library



San Francisco bands third album and probably their worst. No standout tracks for me, with the best being a Captain Beefheart cover, who makes an appearance on the album. With 9 of the rest being original material, pretty sad when the best track is a cover. Best known for the stage antics of singer Fee Waybill, their peak was short lived as they disbanded in 1985, only to reform of course. But the flame had been snuffed out by then. This album reached a whopping #122 on the U.S. charts. Some of the albums tracks have been strung together for some reason. Tracks 1 & 2 are in the same clip, as are tracks 3 & 4, tracks 5 & 6, tracks 7 & 8 and tracks 9 & 10.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - God-Bird-Change

Best Track - My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains

I’ll let a train be my feet if it’s too far to walk to you
If the train don’t go there
I’ll get a jet or a bus
I’m gonna find you
You’re mine and I know I’ll find you
My head is my only house
Until I find you
I’ll walk the meadow plains
Water deserts by my eyes until I find you
I won’t sleep until I find you
I won’t eat until I’ve found you
Heart won’t beat
Until I can wrap my arms around you
Heart won’t beat
Until I’ve found you
My arms are just two things in the way until I can wrap them around you
You can make a sad song happy
And a bad world good
I can feel you out there movin’
You’re mine and I know I’ll find you
And my head is my only house unless it rains
I hate to let other people hear me sing this song
If it reaches you before I do
Follow this song to I love you
That’s where you’ll find me
That’s where you’ll find me
Heart won’t beat
Until I can wrap my arms around you
Heart won’t beat
Until I’ve found you
My head is my only house unless it rains
I hate to let other people hear me sing this song
If it reaches you before I do
Follow this song to I love you
That’s where you’ll find me
That’s where you’ll find me
Heart won’t beat
Heart won’t beat
Heart won’t beat
Until I found you
And my head is my only house unless it rains
