Week Two: The Jesus & Mary Chain - "Between Planets" - Automatic

And so I have saved the best for last... This is not one of the better known JAMC tunes, but it definitely holds the place of one of my favorites.  For some strange reason, it reminds me of having a secret crush - you know those kinds of crushes that are absolutely all-consuming and that you would never reveal to anyone?  They are the ones that leave you scratching your head going: "How in the world did this happen, and when will it go away?"  Yep, I've had a few of those in my lifetime.

I'm not sure what it is exactly that causes me to equate a crush to this song, but I think it may have something to do with the last two lines: "Baby you drive me crazy; Don't come around here no more."  Funny thing is that I generally need to be telling myself not to be going around my secret crush anymore, not the other way around!  :-)

Sadly, I could not find any live footage that did the song justice; so I had to resort to just the music, but it still kicks @ss!




Suicide standing sucking in her cheeks
Too much lips and too much eyes
Hasn't slept for weeks

She don't know just where it goes
Jackie T said she saw death
She's done it fifty ways
But she's been off that medicine
For almost fifteen days
She don't know just where it goes
So turn around and run back where you're from
You can't get on
Don't shake those hips don't bite those lips
Just keep it hid
Come on now you gave it away
And all the friends you had got paid
Come on now you were never that shy
And that's no way for you to say bye bye
Baby you drive me crazy
Don't come around here no more
