ORIGINAL #"Levitate Me" - 2:30 #"The Holiday Song" - 2:08 #"I've Been Tired" - 2:36 #"Break My Body" - 2:00 #"Down to the Well" - 2:36 #"Rock a My Soul" - 1:40 #"I'm Amazed" - 1:40 #"Build High" - 1:41 #"In Heaven (Lady in the Radiator Song)" - 1:43 #"Caribou" - 3:17 #"Here Comes Your Man" - 2:50 #"Subbacultcha" - 2:52 #"Vamos" - 3:10 #"Broken Face" - 1:23 #"Nimrod's Song" - 2:15 #"Isla de Encanta" - 1:42 #"Ed is Dead" - 2:32 The original "Subbacultcha" and "I'm Amazed" both had a different chorus line to later releases, which were both dropped for apparently sounding too weak. The removed chorus from "Subbacultcha" later appeared as the basis for "Distance Equals Rate Times Time", a separate song immediately following the revised "Subbacultcha" on " Trompe Le Monde ". ''COME ON PILGRIM'' (1987) ''See Main Article ''. #"Caribou" #"Vamos" #"Isla de Encanta" #"Ed is Dead" #"Holiday Song" #"Nimrod's Son" #"I've Been Tired" #"Levitate Me" ''PIXIES'' (2002) This official release is often nicknamed "The Purple Tape", though it is missing the tracks from ''Come on Pilgrim''. It contains the previously unreleased "Rock a My Soul". #"Broken Face" #"Build High" #"Rock a My Soul" #"Down to the Well" #"Break My Body" #"I'm Amazed" #"Here Comes Your Man" #"Subbacultcha" #"In Heaven" WATCH WHAT YOU'RE DOING There remains some speculation that there exists an 18th track on the original Purple Tape entitled "Watch What You're Doing", a Larry Norman cover. Absent from both "Come On Pilgrim" and the 2002 "Pixies" CD, some believe it is being kept aside by someone, perhaps Gary Smith, for future release. However, its existence is subject to scrutiny. Most notably, the tracklisting on the Purple Tape artwork (above) shows no evidence of such a track, while the original Larry Norman version notably contains the lyric "Come on pilgrim / You know he loves you", also used by Black Francis on the tape's opener, "Levitate Me". It seems unlikely two songs with the same lyrics would be used on the same demo. |
