Explain


 

It's pointless to explain why
There's nothing I can say
My words would all be meaningless
Anyway
It seems I can't be trusted
And I don't disagree
What made you think I ever really wanted to be ?
I can't explain why
And I don't know when
I'm ever going to want to see her again
So don't ask why I came here
There's nothing I can say
I don't think I'll be staying very long
Anyway I'm trying to find out why I came here at all
I don't think it was to see you
After all

Explain est une vieille chanson de Seymour écrite durant une de ces nuits folles à la Beat Factory, elle reflete l'obsession de l'époque du groupe pour les Pixies.

ALEX: (à propos des Pixies) "The last great American band. They piss on Nirvana."

Le groupe a toujours appelé la chanson "Can't Explain", le titre du premier single des Who, sorti en février 1965.
Le groupe a toujours de l'affection pour cette chanson.

DAMON: "We didn't want to get rid of Seymour's songs because they were part of what we were."

La chanson fut enregistré avec Stephen Street en mai 91 au studio Maison Rouge, pour la meme session que High Cool.
