Pixies - I've Been Tired Lyrics






One two three
She's a real left winger 'cause she been down south
And held peasants in her arms
She said "I could tell you a story that could make you cry"
"What about you?"
I said "Me too"
"I could tell you a story that will make you cry"
And she sighed "Ah"
I said "I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed"
"I like Lou Reed" she said sticking her tongue in my ear
"Let's go, let's sit, let's talk"
"Politics go so good with beer"
"And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?"
I said "Loosing my penis to a whore with disease"
"Just kidding" I said
"Losing my life to a whore with disease"
She said "Excuse me please?"
I said "Losing my life to a whore with disease"
I said "Please... I'm a humble guy with a healthy desire"
"Don't give me no shit because..."

I've been tired [6x]

I tell a tale of a girl, but I call her a woman
She's a little bit older than me
Strong legs, strong face, voice like milk, breasts like a cluster of grapes
I can't escape the ways she raise me
She'll make you feel like Solomon be one of your babies even if you had no one
(And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?)
Took my sleep after setting my loins on fire
But that's OK because...

I've been tired [6x]

I've been tired [9x]
T-i-r-e-d spells it
Spells it

Pixies I've Been Tired Comments
  1. Z.... P....

    The song was just like Unbreakable movie.

  2. A.... S....

    High school, riding my bike across town every day. I was hip

  3. G.... A....

    Corpo Fechado

  4. B.... ....

    Da bomb especially Kim deal

  5. L.... V....

    I got thrown out of home-ec for singing this song while I was sewing a pillow. The principle told me I needed to apologize to the teacher and I refused... Why would I apologize for singing a song? So I got kicked out of the high school.

    L.... V....

    You should really go back and apologize to them

  6. �.... �....

    *EL PROTEGIDO*

  7. V.... f....

    My mother gummed my weapon!

    V.... f....

    I envy you. Too bad I never had that opportunity with the woman who raised me.

    V.... f....

    @Dennis Mazza lol. Its a reference to the pixies parody by Chris Morris. Look it up on YouTube

    V.... f....

    I made that comment in regards to Frank Black's recurring mother/son incest lyrics in various Pixies songs.

  8. V.... V....

    kidanje

  9. E.... D....

    1st time i heard this i mustve been 15, on a Walkman walking through some bushes really stoned. I thought it was the dogs bollocks!! I was right. Ah youth, where did you run off to!?!?

  10. t.... m....

    always got a laugh out of this

  11. R.... o....

    You better not be jacking off to the Japanese comics I swear to God

  12. A.... S....

    Don’t give me no shit!!! Cause....

  13. J.... W....

    This album is literally the soundtrack to my high school years. God damn I miss the 90s.

    J.... W....

    This is from the 80's Idiot.

    J.... W....

    @david rule I'm 38 years old. I didn't hear it until I was in 11th grade. That was 1998. Soooooory

    J.... W....

    Joey Wall very cool

    J.... W....

    @david rule Seriously? Though Come On Pilgrim was released in the late 80's , The Pixies were hardly an 80's anthem unless you were seeing them in college gym or the opening act for a larger band (which I did both) and again that was in the late 80's. The Pixies popularity expanded in the early 90's, they started playing larger venues and their fan base grew. It is not unreasonable for someone to relate the Pixies to the 90's so stop being a troll.

  14. M.... C....

    This song always made me laugh. Lol

  15. J.... G....

    “How much for this one?”

    J.... G....

  18. B.... B....

    One, two, three

    She's a real left winger 'cause she's been down south
    And held possums in her arms, she said
    "I could tell you stories that could make you cry, what about you?"
    I said, "Me too, I could tell you a story that would make you cry"
    And she sighed, "Ah"

    I said, "I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed"
    "I like Lou Reed, " she said, sticking her tongue in my ear
    "Let's go, let's sit, let's talk, politics goes so good with beer
    And while we're at it, baby
    Why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?"
    I said, "Losing my penis to a whore with disease"
    "Just kidding"
    I said, "Losing my life to a whore with disease"
    She said, "Excuse me, please?"
    I said, "Losing my life to a horrible disease"
    She said, "Please"

    Well, I'm a humble guy with healthy desire
    Don't give me no shit because

    I've been tired, I've been tired, I've been tired
    I've been tired, I've been tired, I've been tired

    I told the tale of a girl but I call her a woman
    She's a little bit older than me
    Strong legs, strong face, voice like milk breasts like a cluster of grapes
    I can't escape her ways she raised me

    She make me feel like Solomon
    Beware your babies even if you have no one
    And while we're at it baby
    Why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?
    You don't want to sleep after setting my loins on fire
    Well, that's okay because

    I've been tired, I've been tired, I've been tired
    I've been tired, I've been tired, I've been tired
    I've been tired, I've been tired, I've been tired
    I've been tired, I've been tired, I've been tired
    I've been tired, I've been tired, I've been tired

    T I are E D spells it, spells it, spells it, spells it

    R.... J....

    I was rewatching unbreakable and I had no idea who the pixies were last time I watched it. I was rewatchin years later and I was like hell ya. I had no idea my favorite band had a song it and an underrated one at that.

  22. F.... T....

    so basically he gets with a whore, and asks her not to criticize his performance because he's been tired. then he gets with his own mother, and asks her not to criticize his performance because he's been tired.
