Quotes[]
Andy: “Noted out for the Nonsuch album in '90, I felt it was too ploddy and poor lyrically. Then whipped out again for Wasp Star with the tempo cranked and the words de-clinked I thought, yeah, that's it! Finally it's ready to be not good enough. This is what all the fuzz was about.”
Lyrics[]
Mum and Dad are at work today
Those cats are out and this mouse must play
Plug in the pedal to the small grey amp
Bring down your heel on the button stamp
Sonic boom
sonic boom
Sonic boom goes the nuclear noise from my cheap axe
Boom ripping up their slippers, pipes and slacks
Boom I'm supplying all this dead town lacks
Boom all the boring stuff they stand for quivers and cracks
Sonic boom
Well they're born old they won't understand
and they don't seem to have the noise thrill gland
Push in the jack plug to the socket ring
Hammer down the plectrum on the string and bring
Sonic boom
Sonic boom
Sonic boom goes the killer chord from my guitar
Boom with the sound of an exploding star
Boom as their universe is torn apart
Boom from the speaker in my dreaming teenage heart
Sonic boom
