Greens and Blues Lyrics:
I'm not together, and you know it's true
My bits all wander in the trees
And if I ever seem a little strange
Would you excuse me please?
I said I'm human, but you know I lie
I'm only visiting this shore
I'll soon be leaving in the outbound tide
I pray again we will meet
I'm wasting your time, just talking to you
Maybe best you go on home
I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind
Slip into the greens and blues
I said I'm human, but you know I lied
I'm only visiting this shore
I'll soon be leaving in the outbound tide
I pray again we will meet
I'm wasting your time, just talking to you
Maybe best you go on home
I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind
Slip into the greens and blues
Greens and blues
Greens and blues
Greens and blues
Greens and blues
I'm wasting your time, just talking to you
Maybe best you go on home
I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind
Slip into the greens and blues
I'm wasting your time, just talking to you
Maybe best you go on home
I'll leave you alone, fade from your mind
Slip into the greens and blues
Greens and blues

[@FreeSmileForMe]

I don't care what everyone else says, I like new Pixies too.

[@HiddenInTheReeds]

New pixies is just mellow pixies. It’s hard to replicate the zany energy of youth when you’ve seen it all. No Kim means no whispery sexy vocals, and no young black Francis means no crazy screamy guy. It sounds perpetually crestfallen. Like if you’re two best friends we’re dating for ten years and broke up and you are left with the messy after math.

Old Pixies and New Pixies both good.

This song is freaking brilliant. The melody, the lyrics feel like something out of a cousy Autumn rainy day, spent under the bed covers with ones lover - quite the best thing you can have. Pixies forever.

[@vraikorrigan]

Pixies are the best surf-pop-punk-rock band of all times.

[@vraikorrigan]

No1Uniq Why that ?

[@vraikorrigan]

No1Uniq "Indie rock" doesn't mean anything, M. Sarcasm. Surf rock means something, pop rock & punk rock too. Pixies are the best band in thoses 3 genres, yes, because they're the only ones who mix them so wonderfully.

[@omaralhagiry3083]

Griffon pixies are indie rock band. you can say alternative rock too but they are not surf-pop-rock-punk i mean really what is that

[@greenbaydahg]

I saw them in Detroit about 3 weeks ago. This song was probably the highlight of the evening. I enjoyed their new stuff far more than their classics that night (however, The Sad Punk and Motorway to Roswell melted me). It was a big realization for me. One that a lot of these intolerant fans have not yet come to. It's so important that they continue and move on. They can not keep touring Doolitle in 2014. Black Francis is one of the most important song writers of our time. It'd be a shame if he was stuck with a routine. This is quality music that we should be rejoicing over instead of remaining stubbornly unimpressed.

[@kirjkenmanaos3370]

[@ballypoo]

Thank you!!! Finally someone with a positive attitude to new music from an amazing band!! :)

[@pedrocaldeira1831]

I agree totally with what you said. And they have such an ability to perform live that they make any songs sound great. For example a song from Neil Young and one from Leonard Cohen. So they definitely should come up with more material and play it live. People say that some new songs aren't that good like Ring the Bells, but l bet it would be such a blast to hear it live that soon it would become a Pixies' anthem.

[@n1airwaves]

Amen! Completely agree with your comment on Francis being one of the most important songwriters of our generation...you can only play the classics so long, let the man do what he does. This song is a modern Pixies classic, it has all the beauty of the golden age stuff but with a refined energy that comes with the years of experience...the hook is almost a jab to all the fake fans who are quick to shit on anything not Doolittle..."I'm wasting your time, just talking to you, may be best you go on home"... please do and let the real fans rejoice in the new stuff!!

In humble opinion Pixies is the greatest rock band ever on earth! The range,the creativity and poetry! Can break my heart and mend it at the same time.

[@rmaxtpmx]

There's nothing humble about claiming something is the best of its kind. That's a bold claim. Own it.

[@0suke]

One of the best riff written by Pixies. It’s so comfortable and emotional!

[@andrewburnsmetaldetecting3154]

being a pixies fan for 15 years I think this song is the best of the 2014 album and the closest to their older sound.

[@dynjarren8355]

This is amazing that this late in the game they are actually making incredible pop music. Paz joining saved this band from falling apart and instead is giving them a second life! This is fantastic! Pixies forever!

[@ewetoo]

glad someone said this, they kind of rediscovered themselves and got over their own myth.

Finally...I have found my funeral song...carry me out to this please.

C'était le groupe de mes 20ans, il semble que ce soit également celui de les 50. Kim ou Paz, c'est top. GO PIXIES❤️❤️❤️

[@g-mads]

I know that this song seems to be getting a lot of flack but I personally adore it. My most-listened song on the album, to be honest. It has a similar feeling to another favourite Pixies song of mine, 'Havalina'. I love that melancholy etherial quality that this sort of music has. It takes my brain to a different place and almost shuts it down for a minute. Idk, it hits me right in the feelings.

[@scottmon4568]

PATHOS IS STARTING TO HURT!

[@The1celander]

yes indeed... Havalina is one of my favorite songs, and the production of Greens and Blues actually helps it a lot, some of the songs in this album have been totally ruined by it's production process, like as Snakes, but this one actually won an etherial hype that makes it sounds something from outer space and beyond!

[@richgoldman2299]

Black Francis has always said Bossanova was his favorite Pixies album. So it seems like this song is exactly the kind of song he wants to be doing.

[@the_local_bigamist]

I've not seen any flack here. Maybe it is buried low in the comments due to the algorithm picking up on the fact that people actually love the song. A great Pixies song - "new" Pixies too! - and accessible beyond Pixies fans themselves. Anybody could enjoy this song. Frank Black is a genius, no denying it. The fact that David Bowie picked up on them is proof enough.

[@jimmyhopkins1]

kim deal is gone its not the same buddy :(

[@jamieconnors1084]

I'm convinced the Pixies have made contact with space aliens in the past. Listen to the lyrics of this one and Motorway to Roswell.

[@admtech69]

This song is absolutely perfect.

[@teppichkopf]

Even with cheap headphones this song sounds fantastic.

[@deathlayer5088]

Easily one of the best lyric/melodies Charles has ever penned.

[@joshuapryor6636]

Your work for the last ten years has produced some of the most important, complex, and emotional songs I've ever encountered in my life, Frank Black. I know a lot of people refer to their favorite bands as providing "the sound-track of my life", but your songs have helped me live with depression, poverty, and all the modern bullshit attached to being an American these days. You and the rest of Pixies are the greatest band of all time. Fucking thank you, so much.

[@davidsnyder7341]

[@guanchankey]

[@kieronevans5150]

[@tarwagon]

Kieron Evans it's got those classic pixies elements for sure!

[@luismoraless7133]

it does sound new and different but i love it like any pixies song

[@Mokimanify]

I disagree. This has way more production in it. It does sound like the PIXIES ... It is the PIXIES

[@Zorf96]

Disagree. I find it way smoother in every regard. It's lacking a lot of the spontaneity of the early stuff. It's got a way cleaner sound because of that. I partially blame better production value. It feels more professional.

[@kidwajagstang]

And this is a bad thing??

[@htieksamoht2159]

Best opening to FLCL ever

[@xXGatumadreXx]

I heard this song for the first time when I needed it the most, thanks. I become a fan of the band and evens started learning bass to play this song.

[@ihopeyoulikemymusicifnotim1306]

Greens and blues, like the color of your eyes. R.I.P David Bowie

[@ihopeyoulikemymusicifnotim1306]

Actually, his eyes were brown and blue. Sorry.

[@bmj8511]

actually they are just both the same color his pupils just give off the illusion that they are different.

[@paperfeathers]

lame thang they're different. you're just being pretentious.

[@bmj8511]

Anisocoria is a condition characterised by an unequal size in a person’s pupils. In Bowie’s case, his left pupil was permanently dilated. This can create the illusion of having different coloured eyes because the fixed pupil does not respond to changes in light, while the right pupil does. So Bowie’s left eye often appeared to be quite dark, due to the blackness of his dilated pupil, when compared to the blue of his right iris. www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/features/david-bowie-dead-why-the-legendary-singer-appeared-to-have-different-coloured-eyes-a6805921.html

[@theshadowxoxo]

lame thang A school friend punched David Bowie in the eye causing him to have two different colored eyes dilated his pupil permanently

[@pawelcitak83]

The best and unique in Pixies, its harmonics are just outstanding and they love using these flat and sharp marks :)

[@PainandSorrow]

I have heavy ADHD and this song feels like a narrative of my life.

[@lubenynoah]

Amazing, and I just discovered this album. Why does such a good album never gets the airplay it deserves.

[@Pongant]

IMO, this is among their finest songs. I don't mean songs representing their style, but songs that may have lasting effect on the listener. 1. Where is my mind 2. Greens and Blues 3. Monkey gone to heaven 4. Bird dream of the Olympus Mons 5. On graveyard hill

[@reishizuka]

IMO I would add (not in any particular order) Gouge Away Hey Havalina idk if I'm forgetting another but yeah- love them

[@the_local_bigamist]

@@reishizuka There is always a new one when you go back to Pixies. I rediscovered Gouge Away and it had a huge impact on me even though I'd heard it so many times from the album. Next was "Dead" which is abrasive and difficult, but once you get into it and understand the subject matter, plus just appreciating the unique and brilliant musical talent of the band, it is almost magical. Pixies are magical and I feel sorry for people who never "clicked" with them.

[@Pongant]

I agree, the list of songs changes every few months. Right now, I'm Digging 'Dead' and 'Another Toe in the Ocean'
