| "A white moon's hot The other side's not"... Black used the lines "When one side is hot The other side of the moon is not" in All Over The World on Bossanova, perhaps he was borrowing it from this song? Could just be a coincidence though. | |

| "A fish is fast And Jimmy's cast Hang me" Black Francis is the fish. He think's he is fast, but Jimmy's, or a generic name for a fisherman, "cast", or him throwing his line out, "hangs" or catches the narratorfish. "A white moon's hot The other side's not Hang me" Night fishing. The fish, in the final seconds of life, would see the moon for the first time. Maybe there is a deeper metaphor here. But, alas, he is still being "hung". It's not time for me for me to go It's not time for me for me to go The fish is panicking- it does not want to die. Obviously. My eyes have turned Just the color of diamond Just the color The frayed color of ice His eyes go white, or back in his head, and he dies. | |

| These lyrics are all messed up. It's a "Fish is fast." | |
