About This Track

This song first appeared on a Cloudberry Records compilation titled “What’s All The Fuzz About”. The same compilation also featured the very first song from a great noise pop band, The Manhattan Love Suicides, who would go on to gain some popularity (though not nearly as much as TPOBPAH).

btw, this song is ALSO included on an early Cloudberry Recs compilation, very different and more lo-fi version (presumably recorded during the same session as their debut 3 song/5 song ep. and haha, i always thought that lyric was "heaven", not "heroin". but yeah, this song rules.

now you go unseen, perfect you'll stay hidden and i can dream of things you'll never see Alli please, if you are braver than the rest, theres little left that could dispute your claim and when youd finally gone he tells me "you were dead all along" he was wrong, he hadn't lived a day the way you lived your final days a teenager in love with Christ and heroin now you feel ashamed but he feels nothing of the kind he talks of things he wouldn't mind to try sometime, but you've got little left to give his touch is not a thing you'll ever miss and if you made a stand, id stand with you til the end but you don't need a friend when you're a teenager in love with Christ and heroin
