About this song
One of the anchors of the Pixies' 1989 album Doolittle, the song follows a straightforward verse, pre-chorus and chorus structure, with a short instrumental break in the middle, in contrast with the band's usually fractured style. Frontman Black Francis said the riff was composed on a piano when he was about 14, so versions of the song had existed since his teenage years.
What it's about
Black Francis said the lyrics drift into a dark, edgy world inhabited by hoboes, with a sarcastic take on sad old men, and he described the song as sounding like a simple love song while being something quite different.
