Released in 1989 as the opening track on President Yo La Tengo, it has a continuous loop of guitar feedback with distorted and jangle-style guitars on top and is one of their earliest noise rock songs. It was reworked acoustically on their covers album Fakebook in 1990 and again on their compilation...
Barnaby, Hardly Working Lyrics
For the moment slipped right through him
Combed his hair, combed his hair
Knew the feeling of contentment
An actors' actor, an actors' actor
She smiled a smile uncomprehending
As he took his time, took his time
Wore a hat, so he'd impress her
Took a ride, took a ride
Says, "I could wait for hours
I could wait and never fall down
Never fall down, never fall down"
Face down beside the river, face down beside the river...
