from “i sent away” by Black Francis
i was alone, i killed my clone
i learned to play the xylophone
but i was bored with modern chords
and so today, i sent away
i sent away
i sent away
i sent away
so be a doll, try not to call
and after all, i’m m.i.a.
i sent away
there came a day, i cursed the day
i cursed the day, i sent away
i sent away
i sent away
i sent away
Probably just fun with words, but it really grabbed me the first time I heard it. When was the last time you heard someone use “xylophone” in a song. It also helps that the tune has the classic vibrant energy which is the signature of Frank.
