Saint Nix was written in August of 1974. A demo version was recorded, but was deemed unusable by the band for outtakes compilations, so it was re-recorded in 1983 for inclusion on their Residue album. It was put out on the 1990 Diskomo EP, but has not seen any re-releases since.
Someone said that if your agents
Come again at night
There might not be a single nation
Standing in the light
Now this was known by good Saint Nixon
And he knew the way
To loneliness, I must confess
I hated him
In his day
He told me of a pit
And it's way down below
It's full of stones
And under the stones are jars
But the jars are liquid
Of an unknown type
But it's black
Like tar is black
Black
But it's black like tar
Black!
Black!
Black!
Black!
