Outside the family stew
Out by the fire breathin'
Outside we wait 'til face turns blue
I know the nervous walkin'
I know the dirty beard hangs
Out by the boxcar waitin'
Take me away to nowhere plains
There is a wait so long
You'll never wait so long
Here comes your man, here comes your man
Here comes your man
Big shake on the boxcar movin'
Big shake to the land that's falling down
Is a wind makes a palm stop blowin'
A big, big stone fall and break my crown
There is a wait so long
You'll never wait so long
Here comes your man, here comes your man
Here comes your man, here comes your man
There is a wait so long
You'll never wait so long
Here comes your man, here comes your man
Here comes your man, here comes your man
I was quite happy that my daughter had the pixies in her iPhone and we enjoyed it while driving through the Arizona desert.
Great tune!
And it completely doesn't fit in with the rest of the album -- yet somehow it does.
Great tune!
I Agree!!
cool video
Cranked, Yanked & Ripped Off!
Sorry, dim and distant past, but still funny. Thanks friend.
But no, songwriting credit goes to Black Francis!!
Or Lou Reed?
That's Kim playing bass and singing backup.
Kim and Kelly together is The Breeders though.

Yeaaaaah Right On
Would be more fun than the normal way a wedding happens

This doesn't really sound much like any Stones song, or their style to me, though it certainly has a mid-'60s sound to it - maybe The Animals or Them. Everyone hears something different.

..maybe so. Where is my mind is pretty good tho...
Or you could pretend that they were singing to your bride about you, Hodgie. While you were getting married to a woman.
Hope this unsnarls that Gordian knot for you.
Alternatively...Stephen Fry's quite happy to help out. (Just don't think about it too much.)
"Lord! That's my wedding song!"
Love these guys.
agreed, despite everything else, this is still fun....
They're nearly as sh*tty sngers and as out-of-tune as early Velvet Underground.- I suppose thus was inevitable.
Oh--THAT must be why I love them....
Love these guys.
Thank you for your postive and uplifting comment. However, would the Pixies be as sh*tty and out-of-tune as say, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Grateful Dead, etc all rated as 10s and 9s on your ratings page? All excellent singer-songwriters yes, but not exactly the ones to tune your guitar by. I love them all, just pointing out by your own standards that one does not need a velvet voice to be awesome and to make all of our lives better by just singing a song.
We want you to be happy, or at least scroll over to PSD.

Wow! Rarely do we see a Husker Du reference on RP. It's not too late for a little Candy Apple Grey (we can start there) to emerge on RP.
Here Comes The Sun
Here Comes The Bride
Here Comes The Rooster
Here Comes Santa Claus
Those songs have a little less in common with this song as does "Here Comes The Night", which, by the way, was not written by Van Morrison.
I always knew he was a vampire :)
"I like Lou Reed" she said...
More rocking with the Pixies. What is it with this band that gets you moving?
Needed a head-bopping tune this afternoon.
Love to the Pixies.
Spot on!
One of my favourite tunes of all time and never fails to make me feel happy
Nope, they're still playing good music.
Check out this part from an old interview from NME (New Musical Express) with Black Francis himself about "Here Comes Your Man":
"This is a pre-Pixies song that I wrote when I was about 15. It's about winos and hobos travelling on the trains who die in the California Earthquake..."
I'd heard that explanation, too, but never with the citation to back it up... Well done!! : )
I have heard this was about the atomic bomb... Anyone know if there is any truth to that?

"This is a pre-Pixies song that I wrote when I was about 15. It's about winos and hobos travelling on the trains who die in the California Earthquake. Before earthquakes everything gets very calm, animals stop talking and birds stop chirping and there's no wind. It's very ominous.
I've been through a few earthquakes actually cos I grew up in California. I was only in one big one in 1971. I was very young and I slept through it. I've been awake through lots of small ones at school and at home. It's very exciting actually, a very comical thing. It's like the earth is shaking, and what can you do? Nothing."
That would explain why the lyric is "there's a box car waiting" instead of "there's a bockscar waiting".
For "Bockscar" try this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bockscar
Accidental or intentional duality of meaning is not uncommon in literature/poetry/lyrics, and it has been argued that it is not accidental at all, but subliminal - on the part of either the composer/artist, or the listener/audience, and/or both. By now we have confused the issue fourfold at its outset, and then we must, necessarily, multiply that by the subset of the averaged amount of the most common interpretations.
In other words, E=MC squared. Or, more likely, it's whatever the kcuf you think it is. Either way, it is never less than the emotive tone it strikes in any individual.
...must....sleep....now...

Great tune!

They are arguably the Father of all Indie college rock bands.
Because they were damn good and sounded like NOBODY.

Yep. I just did it also. Thankfully nobody walked by.
Well, this is the album that should have won. 10
