Pixies :: No. 13 Baby :: Extended Version (not official) :: with lyrics

I always loved this song - but the outro lasted far too short, as far as I am concerned. So I prolonged this fascinating tune, especially the glittering guitars in the end. Sorry, Frank, sorry, Kim, sorry especially Joey, if I violated your work in your view. Instead please regard this piece as a tribute of a fan.
So listen to my extended version of "No. 13 Baby", featuring a finish which should never end, but even does in my version.
I consider this ending breathing a musical expression of love, of eternity, of flying high, of this mystical thing what it's all about. Thank you all for sharing my passion.

[@pstewart5443]

The thing I love about Joey is his humility. He never tries to run out in front and take over the spotlight that I have ever seen. He never tries to take over the band, he just is like, "dude, let me play, and leave me the hell alone." He brought such a different sound to the guitar. The Pixies could play rhythm so well together. That bass just sounds so good. I don't know why so few bands showcased the bass, but it seems like the ones that did were pariahs and not front runners, for example Primus.

OMG this is truly amazing - we all wanted this. How does that first part become that second part????? This is truly the magic of Pixies. I cant say this is my favorite track cos thats like picking your favorite child ( if your a parent) soooooo many great songs. Back in 91 I got the chance to see them in The Duchess of York in Leeds and I passed. Then they split. Finally saw them in 2005 in Manchester with my 1st two lads ( aged 12 and 9 at the time) seen them many times since and with my daughter in Plymouth before Covid and in Castlefield bowl in2022. The fact their songs still inspire kids to pick up instruments, play music or just look more left field than whats on the radio is amazing. The songs are timeless, the music so amazing and their presence on the live circuit brilliant. Never thought I would hear Brick is red live. Thought Toe in the Ocean was OK - then I saw them play it live in the Hammesmith Apollo now its a favourite. As an aside we were on the upper balcony and people asked us to sit down!!!!! I replied are you for real this is Pixies lol then this guy asked if he could stand / dance with us as he was on his own and he'd traveled from Spain just to see them - how could we refuse :)

Also, a wall is not the answer. Have you forgotten that planes exist? Part of the reason why the Hoover Dam (much smaller than a theoretical wall) became so renowned is because of its cost! A wall would have an enormous impact on taxes. I thought you guys were supposed to be Republicans. Along with the fact that Trump constantly spends millions on bills, it proves that he doesn't even care about his own platform! If I remember correctly, he once spent over a billion on a bill he didn't even read. I mean none of this in disrespect, at least we both agree the Pixies are gods?
