SONGS UNDER TWO MINUTES (10): BROKEN FACE

I’m sure we can all agree that Black Francis really did come out with some twisted and fucked up lyrics. This must be up there with the most twisted and fucked up.

mp3: Pixies – Broken Face

I got a broken face
I got a
I got a broken face
Uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, ooo
I got a broken face
I got a broken face
I got a broken face

There was this boy who had two children with his sisters
Who were his daughters, who were his favourite lovers

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes, there’s only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue

I got a broken face, uh-hu, uh-hu
I got a broken face

There was this man who smashed his brain in little pieces
And then they drilled holes, and then they put ’em back in there

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes, there’s only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue
I got a broken face
Uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, ooo
I got a broken face

The little thing who does my laundry
Speaks no English
But if you saw her
You’d say “isn’t she lovely”

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes, there’s only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue
