Had a bit part, an endless reel
It always played in slo-mo
But now it's fast, a spinning wheel
I know the dynamo, my heart is cast

Speedy Marie, ahead of the now
She's better built that's how
She's built for speed
Speedy Marie, Speedy Marie

''"Oh, yes indeed,"'' I said to me
And so I sing this romaunt
It's not enough, my liberty
There is a thing I want
I need, I love

Speedy Marie, ahead of the now
She's better built that's how
She's built for speed
Speedy Marie, Speedy Marie

Juxtaposed in each moment's sight
Everything that I ever saw
And my one delight
Nothing can strike me in such awe

Mouth intricate shapes the voice that speaks
Always it will soothe
Rarer none are the precious cheeks
Is the size of each sculpted tooth
Each lip and each eye

Wise is the tongue, wet of perfect thought
And softest neck where always do I
Lay my clumsy thoughts
She is that most lovely art
Happy are my mind and my soul and my heart

Very true! Still - in comparison to Petty (before)
he sounds like a stupid, little boy!

Excellent album....almost up there with some of the pixie's albums, but his recent work is ho hum...
Don't listen to em Frankie, you just keep on doin what you do.{#Cheers}
So bad this came out too late for the Pretty In Pink soundtrack!  You rock, Frank!


This is a hauntingly, surprisingly good song...
playful francis not played enuf here, methinks.

his haunting boy-with-bad-things-on-his-mind voice is missed
His voice doesn't match the way he looks at all...
I'm digging it

Wow..for a Kung foo panda he can really sing
Frank Black is a groovy guy. I like his angsty jangly stuff, but this is passable.

Good tune, but how about "Headache"? Now there's a great Frank Black tune!

How come some people are just Cool, no matter what they do? Frank Black is one of those people.
One of the many fantastic songs from one of my favorite albums ever! Love the ode to his then wife Jean-Marie Walsh (check the last two verses). Great!
Good to hear this. Wouldn't mind some Pixies now and again, either...
Frank Black is always a welcome sound on RP.
what a great sound
Good song. I have always liked Frank Black. Of Course, I can never go to Los Angeles, now.

That was pretty good!
hey bill, how about some pixies?
One of the better tracks of this album, me thinks... along with Big Red
She's built for speed! Nice tune. :)
