Pixies - Head On Lyrics






As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
I get an electric shock from you
This secondhand living just won't do
And the way I feel tonight
I could die and I wouldn't mind
And there's something going on inside
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I can't stand up
I can't cool down
I can't get my head off the ground
As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
And all I ever got from you
Was all I ever took from you
Yeah, the world could die in pain
And I wouldn't feel no shame
And there's nothing holding me to blame
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky

  1. S.... V....

    Que bueno que mi banda favorita le haga un cover a otra de mis bandas favoritas y no a lady gaga, siempre rock a pleno pixies, lamento no haberlos visto en Buenos Aires, nunca me gustó compartirlos me gusta mover la cabeza solo...

  2. E.... b....

    Uns dos melhores covers de todos os tempos! É até melhor que a original do TJAMC.

  7. f.... p....

    Don't like the original (hate the sound on automatic, be prefer psychocandy era). This is ok. Why are people obsessed with Kim Deal?

  8. Z.... o....

    This WAS a Jesus and Mary Chain song ... but not after The Pixies covered it.

  9. T.... H....

    Live in Chicago anyone else there?

  10. J.... P....

    What a great cover !!

  11. S.... B....

    Makes ya Wanna Feeeel......

  12. T.... M....

  17. A.... P....

    Mejor que la original

  18. y.... ....

    Frank booked it out of there the instant the song ended! Holy shit!

  19. Z.... o....

    Go Pixies! JMC's original was good, but this cover is great!

  20. J.... P....

    best version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKw3Wpb4qeI

  21. R.... M....

    the world could die in pain and I won't feel no shame

  22. A.... L....

    Speed x 1.5 for glorious punk version.

  23. C.... C....

    Me recordou uma faixa do cd do Legião Urbana!

    C.... C....

    A "Head on" do Legião é um cover da "Head on" do Jesus & Mary Chain que é a original

  24. m.... c....

    This cover is so fucking good

  25. M.... C....

    Sorry jmc version much better. The subtlety of jmc just kicking your butt with straight ahead rock and roll is a thing of beauty.

  26. F.... N....

    Two Years after the original. Awesome, but seemed so sudden at the time, like they were Elvis!

  27. R.... A....

    earthjewmergysong

  28. M.... K....

    The best song with three chords

  29. B.... H....

    THAT GUITAR GOT FUCKING RAPED

  30. G.... ....

    OMG 2 AMAZING BANDS BOTH GREAT VERSIONS

  31. T.... S....

    ca-ca.  ca-ca poo-poo.  cacophonous noise, totally bereft of all musical value or enjoyment for the listener.

  32. b.... w....

    As much as I like The Pixies, this isn't better than The Jesus and Mary Chain.

  33. i.... ....

    Jmc is better

  34. C.... A....

    "papy... c'était quoi le rock'n'roll ?..." "regarde cette vidéo, fous le volume à fond... et si tu me reposes la question... vas crever!"

  35. M.... ....

    The Pixies rule

  36. S.... !....

    Frank is amazing

  37. D.... C....

    The only thing that could have made Pixies more awesome is if Charles
    had actually been a midget.

  38. E.... R....

    David fucking Lovering....TOO damn underrated!

  39. P.... M....

    Oh man, what a cover! TJAMC must be envious!

  40. D.... B....

    yess its a euroweenee song from you know who eureo weeeny is all keyboard where is the keyboard in this version that's why it rocks that was difference be tween british rock and American rock british so sold on keyboards usa on guitars

  41. R.... ....

    Euphoria!

  43. D.... G....

    pixies 🎸

  46. I.... S....

    PIXIES LYRICS
    "Head On"

    As soon as I get my head around you
    I come around catching sparks off you
    I get an electric shock from you
    This secondhand living just won't do
    And the way I feel tonight
    I could die and I wouldn't mind
    And there's something going on inside
    Makes you wanna feel
    Makes you wanna try
    Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
    And I can't stand up
    I can't cool down
    I can't get my head off the ground
    As soon as I get my head around you
    I come around catching sparks off you
    And all I ever got from you
    Was all I ever took from you
    Yeah, the world could die in pain
    And I wouldn't feel no shame
    And there's nothing holding me to blame
    Makes you wanna feel
    Makes you wanna try
    Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
    And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
    Where all my troubles can't be found
    I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
    And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
    Where all my troubles can't be found
    Makes you wanna feel
    Makes you wanna try
    Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky

  47. d.... ....

    first I've heard there version. it's really good. cool upload

  48. e.... ....

    how to play live

  49. b.... j....

    thank you for this.

  50. L.... M....

    Isn't this video pure genious? With the takes of themselves all mixed and then aside :B

  51. 0.... ....

    Spectacular cover. One of the best.

  52. M.... Z....

    Teleporter town

  53. J.... G....

    1:22 Did David just beat the shit out of Kim with his drumsticks

  54. A.... P....

    es todo muy extraño...

  55. T.... ....

    Better version then JAMC..........  They got the Video Vanguard (MTV) for the unique way it was filmed...

    T.... ....

    no ways - mary chain version has that mary chain feel that is just fucking awesome. This version is great..don't get me wrong...but not better

    T.... ....

    JAMC sounds like 80's. This sounds more modern

    T.... ....

    muito bom, mas a versão do jesus é melhor

    T.... ....

    JAMC, only punk fucking rock.

  56. S.... G....

    excelente

  57. J.... G....

    oh. my. god.,

  58. T.... M....

    ροκ ν ρολ

  59. R.... G....

    This makes more sense as a JAMC song, but I do prefer this cover.

  60. J.... R....

    Demais!!!

  61. A.... L....

    Bare bones rock n' roll.

  62. j.... b....

    I love the original version by JAMC. But I can say honestly that I also very much like this stripped down, faster version of Head On.

    The overall point is that this song just kicks ass.

  63. J.... O....

    oh MAN this shit is so good

  64. J.... ....

    Entre una flor y una rosa su majestad es coja

  65. L.... C....

    Pixiesの"Head On" 超カッコイイ!!!

    L.... C....

    聴くたびに鳥肌

  66. k.... r....

    hahaupoppssss

  67. A.... R....

    sounds like New York Dolls

  68. G.... ....

    Frank Black is John Wayne Gacy without the clown makeup.

  69. x.... W....

    One of the best videos I've seen in regards to its simplicity.

  70. d.... m....

    Is it supposed to make them look like little people?

    d.... m....

    +daniel mcdermott I dunno, but it's working

    d.... m....

    daniel mcdermott I was scrolling through the comments just waiting for someone to have mentioned that lmao

    d.... m....

    It’s supposed to make them look like literal pixies. So, yes.

  71. R.... R....

    My Blue Jays victory song!

  72. T.... B....

    Great cover

  73. G.... D....

    A fun band but this unfortunately, a disappointingly butchered and very unnecessary remake. Jesus and Mary Chain's original is awesome and superb. By far.

    G.... D....

    +Fantastiko13 I thought it was awesome. They made it sound like a pixies song

    G.... D....

    Really? I assumed it was a Pixies song, the original disappointed me.

  74. E.... w....

    holy shit..... holy shit.  great!

  75. P.... R....

    Love it forever, Head On, Pixies.

  76. M.... ....

    In my shitty opinion this is the best cover of all time. This tunes is the sonic equivalent of kissing the person you love, for the first time.

    M.... ....

    Falling in love, doing lots of drugs.. same difference!

    M.... ....

    The drugs leave you a lot less fucked up afterward...

    M.... ....

    It's 3/4-assed compared to the original.

    M.... ....

    check out the Dirty Nil cover

    M.... ....

    It’s one of the best covers

  77. M.... ....

    I want this at my funeral

  78. J.... ....

    Freakin 90's

  79. E.... B....

    Kim Deal is so beautiful in this video <3

    E.... B....

    they are all beautifl

    E.... B....

    No joke - drop dead gorgeous

  80. J.... ....

    Cant get my head off the ground

  81. D.... ....

    Good cover, love the Pixies (of old), but much prefer the original 'Jesus and Mary Chain' on this.

  82. A.... ....

    No punctuation!

  83. D.... B....

    This is a cover that shows what covers can be. Takes a great song and says something different with it without changing a word.

    Why does it have to be that most of the comments about Kim have to be about how she's hot? The best way to turn an attractive woman into the smokin'est thing you see all day is hand her a bass guitar. This is not news. Kudos to those that talk about her as the awesome musician she is.

    D.... B....

    Shit, she's a kick ass bass player! There are thousands of pretty girls in music videos. There is only one Kim Deal, and she can kick all their asses. Except maybe Kim Gordon's. They can just chill and jam.

  84. E.... ....

    I was just listening to Radiohead's cover of Joy Division's Ceremony and wondering if it was the best cover ever then i remembered this  

    E.... ....

    No way... no cover like this....

    E.... ....

    My favorite band is Galaxie 500. Their cover of Ceremony is epic. Real talk.

    E.... ....

    @EastendRebel i personally like their Headmaster Ritual cover of The Smiths a little better but what an epic band, Pixies, Joy Division, Radiohead, and Jesus and the Mary Chains

  85. W.... M....

    Беда́ никогда́ не прихо́дит одна́.

  86. J.... P....

    kim is so pretty here. And santiago's playing is so tasty. Love this cover

  87. �.... ....

    I feel rock

  88. B.... ....

    I want it played at my funeral

    B.... ....

    I really do want it played at my funeral!

    B.... ....

    Funersl...screw that .i want this tune out loud at my scene of death..

    B.... ....

    I want to be there !!!

  89. S.... P....

    "thisisajesusnmarychainsong".... ;-)

    S.... P....

    yeah, he says it before its starts

    S.... P....

    I knew this comment was going to be here before I even scrolled down lol

    S.... P....

    JMC my second best after the Pixies...

    S.... P....

    1:45 was the soumd of 90s starting

  90. D.... W....

    If I remember right, the band were allowed to make a film clip of this song as long as it was performed live, rather than the version on Trompe le Monde.

    D.... W....

    Wasn't it more that they hated the hassle of making music videos, so agreed only if they could just turn up, play the song, and go again. Same with Allison video.

  91. E.... P....

    David Lovering is the sickest drummer

  92. K.... R....

    As much as I've been a fan of this band for years, this video is now kinda hard to watch. In retrospect it's pretty clear that Kim and Frank couldn't stand each other at this point.

    K.... R....

    Agreed. Sad, both are excellent musicians and this band produced a lot of quality tunes. In this video though, it seems like Kim is actually having a good time, (either that or is semi clueless or possibly high) but Frank isn't.

  93. H.... C....

    I've been sucked through a tunnel into their infection. can't stop listening now. 

  94. U.... ....

    Awww they look like little dolls. So fucking cute!

  95. E.... P....

    David Lovering is one of the best drummers ever.

  96. M.... ....

    BLOODY EARGASM

  97. M.... W....

    Thank you for posting this, I've been searching for this for quite some time!
