its about the Goth subculture, hence, "subbacultcha"
all the dressing in black, the eyeliner, the black feather boa his erotic vulture is wearing; hes attracted to this goth chick, hes "hoping to have her in the sack", so he adopts the whole goth thing in order to impress/get closer to her |

I could never figure out if it was "tire" or "tiger" either, and actually thought it sounded a little more like "tiger", but in the live version on the b-sides album, its quite obviously "tire". |

| Pixies – Planet Of Sound Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
In this song, Earth is unique in the cosmos, for it is the only planet where music exists.
An alien happens to hear it one day and is intrigued, so he goes searching for it.
He follows some signals to Mars and meets and astronaut who is exploring it, and who informs him that the actual Planet of Sound is "one more over"--Earth. |

| Pixies – Letter To Memphis Lyrics

Yeah, he explains it in the liner nots for the Complete B-sides; he says its a love letter to the love of his life, from a PAST life, who lived in Memphis, Egypt.
And SAWraith, i totally agree with you--the intro to this song give me goosebumps EVERY time i hear it.
It is the most perfect aural representation of wistful longing in the entire universe. Every time i hear it, i feel like im soaring through time and space, searching for a part of me i lost eons ago. |
