Hmmm I can see that. MFC for the style and sound, BOJ for the “chunkiness” and warmth of the guitars. It’s got the flowing looseness of MFC with the sharper, harder edges of BOJ.

Blisters on my fingers, blisters on my brain
Blisters on my voices, crazy makes him sane
An angry sea, an ocean in my eyes
The waves are rolling, I’m becoming blind

I won’t be taken, won’t take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock me off the shelf
Feels like illusion, is this taking place
Disease and confusion, stripped off ---- place
Don’t want to leave it, these endless miles
Never destination, just more denial
More denial

Some resolution, some distance tied
To this collusion, hiding in plain sight
So see you later, never say goodbye
This little trick I play on my own mind

I’m a recluse in search of new friends
How they gonna find me back where the road ends
Off on the distance ….
50 foot and breaking ……
Don’t want to leave it, these endless miles
Never destination, just more denial
More denial

I can’t believe it, these endless lies
Never destination, just more denial
More denial

When you make the drop, the gaping maw
When you make the drop, the gaping maw
Makes us alive ,should we survive
When you make the drop, the gaping maw
Keeps us alive, survive
When you make the drop, the gaping maw

Thank you Mudhoney
Thanks …..
…., this place let me go
Off on the distance ….
50 foot and breaking ……on/off my innocence
I won’t be taken, won’t take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock me off the shelf

So see you later
Never say goodbye
This little trick I play on my own end
Don’t want leave it, these endless miles
Never destination, just more denial

She was in a singer in a rock and roll band
Had command of all her voices
Turned herself into a hologram
It all came down to choices
So I say to them, never say goodbye
A little trick I play on my mind

I love how it's perfectly fine with following it's own loose logic. They allow moments for unexpected instrumental breaks, and go into this whole different thing in the song's last moments.

It is this song.

stip, I think it's the lyric where you've got Mudhoney. It's probably Bob Honey.

This is superior in every way, except for that filthy bridge in supersonic. Much better lyrics too.

What do you all think is going on here? I really like this section (best part of the song. Both this and Take the Long Way end on these detour moments that are the highlight).
