Send "Loomer" Ringtone to Cell

Tiptoe down
To the holy places
Where you going now
Don't turn around

Little girls
In their party dresses
Didn't like
Anything there

Pretty boys
With their sunshine faces
Carrying their
Heads down

Tiptoe down
To the lonely places
Where you going now
Don't turn around

Send "Loomer" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:My favorite track off of the album. This surely is not about sex, you think it's about that because this is on your mind, not in the lyrics.
    This is about infancy, about having a secret hideout, a place that only you know.
    The boys carry their head down thinking, imagining things, they are pure, happy and peaceful.
    The girls who don't like 'anything there' make me think it is relative to some sort of a boys hideout, a child gang!

    General Comment:reminds me of church for obvious reasons, reminds me of how they start you out with a set of guidelines from the get-go.
    but i suppose thats just how it relates to me.

    mmm mbv

    General Comment:although both JAMC and MBV came out of the post-punk movement, JAMC didn't start it 'all', if by 'all' you mean shoegaze. that was actually MBV, JAMC never had a shoegazing sound

    General Comment:psychocandy doesn't really strike me as being typically shoegaze, but i think a lot of people would've listened to psychocandy before loveless - seeing how the mary chain started it all as rubyoverdiamonds has mentioned.

    at least in my case i heard of the chain before MBV. =)

    General Comment:Great song from the classic 'Loveless' album. If you like these guys, check out 'Psychocandy' by Jesus & The Mary Chain. They did all this BEFORE My Bloody Valentine. Whether they did it better or not is debatable.

    General Comment:I think it's about your first sexual experiences as children.

    "Tiptoe down to the holy places . . ."

    with the references to little girls and little boys.

    Or at least it reminds me of mine and those of my closest friends.
