Guided By Voices - Glad Girls EP
Gratefully transcribed by Wylde Bill Abelson, Seattle
-----
Glad Girls
Hey hey, glad girls only want to get you high
And they're alright
There will be no coronation
There will be no flowers flowing in the light
That passes though me now
In the light that passes through me
Hey hey, glad girls only want to get you high
And they're alright
There will be no graduation
There will be no trumpets blowing in the light
That passes through me now
In the light that passes through me
With the sinking of the sun I've come to greet you
Clean your hands and go to sleep
Confess the dreams
Of good and bad men all around
Some are lost and some have found
The light that passes though me now
Yeah the light that passes through me
Hey hey, glad girls...
North American Vampires
Sensitive Einsteins
A crusty New Waver
North American vampires
Replacing a savior
Release time for automobiles and ships
Dig the slips
Down the spirals are hip
It's the end of the road, or apparently...
On the westbound trail
The wind in their sails
On the other end of the spectrum, tainted blood...
On With the Show
Hey why don't we all just dive in to statistics river?
Come on, yeah come on, yeah come on yeah
It sweeps along to where shitheads forget
Come on, yeah come on, yeah come on yeah
And the deal is closed
The celebration served
Bank accounts will grow
On with the show
On with the show!
Come on, yeah come on, yeah come on yeah...
Isolation Drills
Jayhawk and crocus
Extremely out of focus
Leaves the purple blues
On peeling wallpaper
Try to smell the colour
The vain snappings of a most eloquent speaker
Can be a catalyst
To a great many money-making schemes
Do remember this, undecided college majors
I will ripple in the night sky
Like a bedsheet flapping in the wind
And watch their ghosts pass stigma'd by one another
Never thinking, considering
And behold they do not notice, but I will
Her isolation drills
I promise
It will make me work harder
It will make me work harder
It will make me work harder
And behold they do not notice, but I will
Her isolation drills
(last 3 lines sung over each other as song fades)
