Pixies - Allison (Mark Goodier Session, 1990) [Official Audio]

[@karakenio]

The third out of four songs titled after names in Bossanova was originally about a girl called Alison. However, as Black Francis stated in an interview with Q on September, 1990, Elvis Costello already had a song called “Alison”. That’s pretty much the same reason Francis changed the name of “Velouria” from the original “Victoria”. But instead of changing the name, he decided to change the subject, and the song was rewritten to be about the Jazz pianist Mose Allison. [Verse 1] From distant star to this here bar The me, the you, where are we now? Hooray, the blues of everyone [Chorus] Allison [Verse 2] Keeps a smile around a while He took no fright and jettisoned We'll go tonight to hear him tell "Oh well" [Chorus] Allison (Allison) [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] And when the planet hit the sun I saw the face of Allison [Chorus] Allison Allison Allison Allison
