Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture sean Average	#1 by sean at Jun 1, 2006 at 3:15 PM EST
	i can sum this song up in one word... Anticipation. Plain and simple that's all the song is about, w/it's great almost surf-rock sounding guitars.

No Picture Bass Rhythm Player	#2 by Bass Master Kid at Jun 25, 2006 at 10:12 AM EST
	That's nuts. All this time I was thinking it was about what onafriday said. And it turns out it's about an atomic bomb! That's just crazy. All these years of listening to Dolittle and I never knew what it really meant. Black Francis (or Frank Black, if you prefer) is a genius.

No Picture Athena-beana-fo Average	#3 by Athena-beana-fo-feena -katrina-gina-go-zeena-fe-fi-fo...ATHENA at Sep 6, 2006 at 1:40 PM EST
	wow, this has been one of my favorite songs for so long, and i never really knew the meaning. genius.

No Picture Steve Average	#4 by Steve at Sep 16, 2006 at 10:37 AM EST
	Thats very cool, all the time I thought the song was a bit nonsensical, and it's really about nuclear bombs! Reading through this site has made me realise the pixies(and other bands) were much better lyricists than I ever gave them credit for.

No Picture Jason Wanna Be	#5 by Jason Bell at Sep 16, 2006 at 11:35 AM EST
	Damn the Pixies rule. All their songs seems to have nonsensical lyrics, then you read the interpretations on here, and they make perfect sense. Best Boston band ever!!

No Picture Hoffel Average	#6 by Hoffel at Dec 7, 2006 at 1:17 AM EST
	Sander, the line.... "There is a wait so long, you 'll never wait so long" is probably put in there because of when Kim repeats it after FB, it sounds like she's saying "so long" in a goodbye-type of way. Like, "So long everybody", because the hobo's are dying from the earthquake. Look at the lyrics with the hobo idea instead of the atomic bomb thing and everything makes more sense. They're all waiting outside of their boxcars and probably hovering over a fire, hence "out by the fire breathing, outside we wait 'til face turns blue".

No Picture clair Average	#7 by clair holman at Dec 8, 2006 at 3:04 PM EST
	I always thought this song was a reply to Lou Reed's "Waiting for the Man", but now that I think about it, the atomic bomb theory seems much more likely.

No Picture Cicely aka Icic Badass	#8 by Cicely aka Icicles and CSkank Shankle (if u stalk me i will shoot you.) at Jan 7, 2007 at 6:33 AM EST
	Also, "Here comes your man" - the name of the atomic bomb was "Fat man" :)

No Picture Coke Average	#9 by Coke Can at May 3, 2007 at 12:37 PM EST
	wow thats really great interpretation, honestly i would never have thought of it. A note to bongo, two atomic bombs were dropped, one on hiroshima, one on nagasaki.

No Picture Hobey Average	#10 by Hobey Bass at Jun 5, 2007 at 6:19 PM EST
	August 9th 1945. US bomber the 'Bockscar' dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki. Now re-read the lyrics. Thanks to Rachel N for sharing this.

No Picture The Major Rajor Rhythm Player	#11 by The Major Rajor . at Jul 11, 2007 at 11:39 AM EST
	a great surf riff. awesome song. i didnt know it was about that, though.

No Picture cody Average	#12 by cody stipp at Aug 2, 2007 at 3:15 PM EST
	Wow, i had no idea... BTW the first bomb fell on hiroshima, not nagasaki
