This song is from the Self Titled album
Which was produced by Pixies Frontman Black Francis. You can hear the influence listening back to it.
Side note Pete was sick with a head cold also thus recorded entire vocals sick.
Lyrics:
Got new shoes today my friends
I hope you like them they have velcro straps
I think I'll wear them home and then
Decide to rip them off and take a bath
Okay
Now in the tub I have more friends
The yellow duckie and the floating house
I think I'll break them both again
But that's alright 'cause I don't need them any more
Perhaps this time we'll build a tree house
Where we can climb and waste the boring days away
Maybe this time we'll build a go-kart
And drive around the world
Billy let's play
Billy let's play
It's time for lunch so what's to eat?
PB and J cut up in squares of four
A glass of milk for little Pete
He's such a good boy let him have some more
A tale of black birds in the trees
A faithless man who hides behind closed doors
So many lovely memories
A happy face was all I ever needed
Perhaps this time we'll build a tree house
Where we can climb and waste the boring days away
Maybe this time we'll build a go-kart
And drive around the world
Billy let's play
Billy let's play
Let me be for the last time
Let me be for the last time
Set me free one more time
Set me free one more time
I got new shoes today my friends
I hope you like them they have velcro straps,
They do.
