As the bass player for the Pixies, Kim Deal was lost in the shadow of leader Black Francis. In the late '80s, the Pixies were one of the most critically acclaimed alternative bands; however, Deal didn't receive much credit for helping to carve the Pixies' distinctive potpourri of punk, surf music, and hard rock. Deal joined the Pixies in 1986 after answering an ad searching for a bassist. In 1990, while the Pixies took a break from recording and performing, Deal formed the Breeders with Tanya Donelly (guitar) of Throwing Muses and Josephine Wiggs (bass) of Perfect Disaster, releasing an album called Pod. The Breeders were intended to be a side project, but it became a full-time outfit for Deal. After recording one EP and four albums, the Pixies crumbled in 1992, mainly because Deal and Francis were no longer able to get along. In 1993, the Breeders released Last Splash, and Deal was suddenly inundated with the attention she was denied while with the Pixies. In fact, Last Splash was more successful in America than any of the Pixies' LPs. The track "Cannonball" exploded on MTV and on alternative stations, and Deal paved the way for other aggressive female rockers like Shirley Manson of Garbage and Courtney Love of Hole to be played alongside angst-ridden male vocalists. Burned out from constant gigs, the Breeders went into hibernation in 1994. In 1995, Deal and a few of her friends released an album, Pacer, as the Amps. In 2000, Deal began recording material with a revised Breeders lineup.

Distant time Eternal pact in me Where the spites despise Were whispered in my sleep Here no crickets, no praise Under the water, under the waves Purely count whistles in time And our last of the leisurely wine You're too fast for me
Full on Idle Say you're one man's taste "Want what?" Fall and break We've seen the dream, folks, in our day What? Fought The Father the Pope Finally sent away Warden, lock it Free love's fought our battles thru the day We were full on idle, A lot of them say, "Obey your colorist, Bleach it all away Free reign, good rest Break, every brunette in the way When we're full on idle, A lot of them say, "Obey your violence" Well, It's kinda late Say you're one man's date Want WHAT? fall and break We were full on idle, A lot of them say, "Obey your violence, Look close- hate tide all white Row on the glass surf He pulled the paddle Okay with me in silence What I'd like to do With your violin And it's bow

Coast I've had a hard, hard landing I really should duck and roll out Out of my life It's wicked fine, fine, fine They say while they're whalin' on short line And vanish right out of my sight All that's known is they were gone Scattered throughout the land There in the distance someone must've checked the WAM Oh, I'll hold up And abandon plans for the good times Where forgotten roads take lost lives To beautiful kids on the coast Clearly all of my life I've been foolish Tried to hit hard, but I blew it (Blew it) But it don't even matter It's just human to want a way out It's human to wanna win All that's known is they were gone Staggerin' throughout the land There on the fencing runnin' fast as they can Oh, I'll hold up In spite of all the promises somebody checked the WAM Oh, I'll hold up And abandon plans for the good times Where forgotten roads take lost lives To beautiful kids on the coast I'll hold up I'll hold up I'll hold up And abandon plans for the good times Where forgotten roads take lost lives To beautiful kids on the coast To beautiful kids on the coast To beautiful kids on the coast

Disobedience Burning away All energies fade To memories gone Like vibrations of a song You played for me Can you hear me now? I'm white hot I'm burning out I know what i want Till i'm thrown off I wanna ride on the ferris wheel And a pop Disobedience If this all we are I'm fucked I go where i want While i'm still on the planet One day I'll take a ride On the radar and rock Disobedience If this is all there is Burning away My cinder fades Accelerating high Some sizzle in your eye I go where i want While I'm still on the planet One day I'll day I'll take a dive off the radar and rock Disobedience If this is all there is...

Walking With A Killer I'm walking with a killer and I'm gonna need that ride We rolled through the night Through the cornfields of East 35 I didn't know I should hide I didn't know it was my night to die But it really was I had no desires for hopes or holidays Yet our eyes meet I slide to him, my thigh sticking on the seat He's a dark star Done I glow in the headlights as they hit the street On the way home, he kissed me I'm walking with a killer and I'm gonna need that ride We rolled through the night Through the cornfields of East 35 I would not survive I didn't know it was my time to die I'm going out With a dark star We're done I glow in the headlights as they hit the street On the way home, he kissed me
