Brick Is Red Lyrics
And Jimmy's cast
Hang me
The other side's not
Hang me
It's not time for me to go
Diamond
Just the color
The pretty color of ice
Diamond
Just the color
The pretty color of ice
"A fish is fast And Jimmy's cast Hang me"
Black Francis is the fish. He think's he is fast, but Jimmy's, or a generic name for a fisherman, "cast", or him throwing his line out, "hangs" or catches the narratorfish.
"A white moon's hot The other side's not Hang me"
Night fishing. The fish, in the final seconds of life, would see the moon for the first time. Maybe there is a deeper metaphor here. But, alas, he is still being "hung".
It's not time for me for me to go It's not time for me for me to go
The fish is panicking- it does not want to die. Obviously.
My eyes have turned Just the color of diamond Just the color The frayed color of ice
His eyes go white, or back in his head, and he dies.
Yeah, I think almost the same. It's like a poem. Just that, people.

Good interpretation.
Good interpretation.
A brick is red This fish is dead Hang me
A brick is red This fish is dead Hang me
the 'grey' color of ice would make more sense, no?

"A white moon's hot The other side's not"...
Black used the lines
"When one side is hot The other side of the moon is not"
in All Over The World on Bossanova, perhaps he was borrowing it from this song? Could just be a coincidence though.
A white moon's hot, the other side's not. (He says this again in All Over the World....any connection?)
There's got to be some sort of connection with this song and "All Over the World"....from what's already been said. And don't forget the line from All Over the World, "You can't even speak, fish, all of them speak."
These lyrics are all messed up. It's a "Fish is fast."
@feinstein This comment is older than me. You probably won’t see this comment but If you do: do you still listen to the Pixies? Either way, you are a legend for nerding their music 21 years ago. <3 Pixies -Asken

And "The Pretty color of ice".
if those are the right lyrics then i prefer the wrong ones.
no, i prefer fast fish to fast fists. Woo go fish!
Haaaaaaaaaaang me
it sounds like fish to me, but i always get lyrics wrong. and i don't know how so many sites can have it wrong.
isn't it contradictory: "it's not time for me to go" and "hang me"
the use of colors in the title and song evoke imagery.
it could just be the best last track on a cd Ever =]
@fistisfast Maybe he is saying 'it's NOW time for me to go'? Also, i agree, it's one of their best.
