Pixies - Tenement Song Lyrics
The drumsticks were his treasure trove
Found in the ashes of The Cocoanut Grove
Hey, man, can you give me something?
Hey, man, did you give me something?
Hey, man, something came from somewhere
Hey, man, it's a tenement song
It's just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on
(Tenement song)
(Tenement song)
Tall bottle and one more smoke
She lived through the fire but the piano got broke
(Tenement song)
Hey, man, can you give me something?
Hey, man, did you give me something?
Hey, man, it's a tenement song
It's just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on
Hey, man, it's a tenement song
It's just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on
(On and on and on)

Pixies Tenement Song Comments
Having a Pixies marathon these days. My God, the pixies are ALWAYS fantastic. I love this band. Greetz from Germany to all Pixies fans!
pixies died in 1992.... all they made after is so inferior. Could not even go to the end of this one, sorry.
❤pixies
Made my teary, as many of these songs by specific bands and specific people do. Much appreciated.
600+ dislikes suggests that the dumb hipster cunts from 1990/1991 have yet to die.
It's about the government?
Me gusta mucho
Love this a lot. Sounds a little like Veloria.
Anyone else see references to the illuminati and 9/11 in the video?
1.48 marilyn manson?
Paz' vocals are great on this album.. really great dynamic
645 people with little appreciation for good music
musica foda vey
Very average song. Already heard.
At 2:30 , the lovely accompanying vocals simbolise salvation! Great!
I keep wondering what this video is tryin to tell me
i'm crying....
mooooooooooola¡¡¡¡¡
El Indio y Skay deberían hacerles juicio por plagio, ya que esta canción está afanosamente inspirada en Masacre en el Puticlub (incluso en el video)
Jajajaaaa
I tripped my balls out yesterday while watching this
good clip
Your mouth's a mile away.
Great song one of many on a great album. Listen without prejudice or you'll miss out on a great bit of work.
Adoro! Os Pixies voltaram!!!!!
you are very sick fucks
No one seems to have picked up on the references to Boston's history. The disastrous Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire in late 1942 killed almost 500. And while the wildly exaggerated video shows a different design, the cover art for the single is 42 Lomasney Way, the last of a block of tenements built in the 19th century and demolished around 1960. Now surrounded by new development, the real building will either eventually meet the same fate as shown in the video or remain like the song as a tribute to the past.
I wanna get this entire video as a tattoo
So sad that the group didn't sing tenement Song at the Paleo festival wednesday...
lamentable,otra banda que pasa a las filas del mal.erase una vez una muy buena banda.
The drumsticks were his treasure trove
Found in the ashes of The Coconut Grove
Hey, man, can you give me something?
Hey, man, did you give me something?
Hey, man, nothing comes from nothing
Hey, man, something came from somewhere
Hey, man, it's a tenement song
It's just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on
(Tenement song)

Hey, man, can you give me something?
Hey, man, did you give me something?
Hey, man, it's a tenement song
It's just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on
Hey, man, it's a tenement song
It's just there on the tip of your tongue
Let's play on a tenement song
On and on and on
(On and on and on)
by far one of the most uninspired songs ever written
im addicted to this
Enough with the old Pixies comparisons. This album crushes anything else out there. These guys are rock and roll professionals.
Play on 1.25 speed it's lit
dildo in the fish tank
1:57 - Oh man, is that a granny holding a taco baby ? Totaly New Stuff !!
Absolutely Great song !!!
The album has really grown on me. Pixies are all about the live show though :)
I feel they would sound better with ought the girl singing
like videos like these
Why so many thumbs down?
Lovering,
"Head carrier" es una mezcla de ritmos de "Bossanova" y "Trumpe le monde ". Ósea una chingonada de leyenda
El espíritu grunge aun vive!!
Sympas ce titre, je connaissais pas pourtant fan des années 80. Un mélange entre Pixies et une rythmique The Cure et Nirvana que j'adore toujours, les 3 ;) .
Now this is Pixies.
Did they Get David Firth for the Animations? it looks alot like his work
I like that they put david bowie in there at 2:00 he was a big fan of the pixies
This reminds me to Gorillaz idk
C'est fou! Ils sont toujours aussi bons après autant d'années. Les Pixies sont un des groupes les plus sous-estimé de leur époque. Excellente musique!
Exact !
I bought the new album two days and I am already addicted to it. Pixies are great as always
Anybody know any good new(ish) albums from bands like the pixies? I'm trying to become more in touch with current good music rather than listening to classic on repeat.
You should try the band called "Fuzz". A good experience
P'tit Bobby cheers man ill give them a listen
Try Surfer Blood. Big Pixies influence on their sound. Their album Pythons is great. And they have a new one coming soon.
Doesnt this sound like David Bowies's suffragettes city??? was it inspired by that?
Best song of The album by far. Definitely better than All i Think About now. Can't stop listening to it. Well done pixies
Why do they never play this live. This songs one of their best
great song Joe Santiago's ability as a lead guitarist gets better and better, pixies continue to break ground, however I think Indie Cindie is a better album from start to finish than Head Carrier is.
Awesome !!
591 personnes qui n'y connaissent absolument rien à la musique
the best vídeo ever
pixies its back mother fuckers!!!
Classic Pixies feel.
Pop gold. meanwhile, the braindead have pushed Biebertron to 100x the number of likes.
poor rat
Gros son et des envolées soudaines, des ruptures pour une belle composition qui envoie ce que l'on souhaiterait attendre de ces audibles déchirements. Magnifique envol des guitares ,de l'ensemble musical et quand survient la joie des contrastes assumés, cette pêche d'enfer.J'aime ce morceau, j'ai au début cru qu'il s'agissait de Neil Young
Excellente description. Tu as écouté l'album ?
Strange porn on the left down TV at 1:43...
Is that 9/11 reference at the very end ?
Bravo Franck, avec ce titre tu as réussi à tromper ton monde: David Bowie te l'avait dit sur scène: tu es un génie, et cette chanson un futur classic du rock indie. Bravo
this song needed to be longer .. I think is the bigest problema in all Head carrier songs!!! ... they didn't explore well the content of the melodies and interlúdios - It is a problem that has happened in the past with songs of the years 50 and 60 --the melodies were not extended correctly
Like, I don't know, Doolittle..?
It's so good. Welcome back Pixies :)
I always love you guys songs. Bless you and joey
Hey Pixies <3 <3 <3
Love the album, been blaring out my car windows because the universe needs some good music
Uma música maravilhosa e um vídeo espetacular! Pixies <3
BR? É ISSO AI, TAMBÉM PENSO ISSO!
Best Pixies Song.

1:36

OLÉ OLEÉ OLÉ! PIXIES
Great song, but I find the clip quite ugly...
This song is wonderful, love everything about it.

Hands down the best song of the album
Hmm, don't like this one. Fairly uninspiring.
30 years great music !
Thank you, Charles IV !
This band is recommend from my friend =) good choice!
2:06
can't escape the memes
Good song, I like it!
They are missing Kim Deal
Hé bien il était attendu ce putain d'album !!!! Trés bon enfin un retour aux sources.
Sounds great to me. Glad you made another album Pixies.
Lemmy playing poker...
