about

The amazing Jellyfish out of San Francisco. This song blew my mind on first listen. It still does. They reigned from '89 to '94.
If I had to choose between them and Grunge, d'you know, I think I'd have to choose Jellyfish! (that's not exactly accurate, but ye know what I mean)

lyrics

So this is where she stands at night
On this cold avenue of lights
the reds and greens but mostly reds
for you he's stopping
In seeing him she knows him less
his stick is wet she's half undressed
and all in all they're both obsessed
with so much nothing
I know it's hard for you to see
what lies behind's a mystery
if words could speak they'd mean even less
when the king is half undressed
She dots her eyes with a smiley face
a work of art in all but taste
the fool deserves the bed he's made
where idiots slumber
divine she is to aire his fate
a crack of smile
through all this hate
means nothing more in this nervous state
of so much nothing
I know it's hard for you to see
The truth behind is misery
if words could speak they'd mean even less
When the king is half undressed
Blue Autumns
Sunshine Kisses
Hearts and Flowers
Broken Wishes
