Pixies – No. 13 Baby (1989)
Vi tar oss ner till siffran 13. I vanliga fall ett oturssiffra, men inte i denna låt.
Frank Black berättar om låten i NME (1989):
”This is a collage of images of when I was growing up in Los Angeles. Number 13 traditionally means bad luck, but in America, especially in the 60’s among bikers and chicanos, the number 13 is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet: M for marijuana.
It’s a really goofy sub culture, but it’s kinda funny, and even today you can see it spray-painted on walls ‘The Meter Boys Number 13’. So it is about a Mexican girl or a Samoan girl, a boyish, sexual, adolescent collage of Southern California living.”
”Got hair in a girl, that flows to her bones
And a comb in her pocket, if the winds get blown
Stripes on her eyes when she walks slow
But her face falls down, when she go, go, go
Black tear falling on my lazy queen
Gotta tattooed tit say number 13
Viva, don’t want no blue eyes
La loma, I want brown eyes
Rica, I’m in a state, I’m in a state
I’m in a state, I’m in a state
I’m in a state, I’m in a state”
