WORDS FROM KRISTIN: "That one always makes us cry. We were living in this neighborhood called
"the grotto" - which is why I called the record that - to make sure that my mother lived through this death that was hard
for all of us. A very strange place to be, pregnant, thinking about life and death at the same time, so that line about the
child crying and the smoker dying always gets us."

"SRB" (written by Kristin Hersh)
Head first into the headboard I'm shatter-proof But
cranial impact taps something true If I could grab your attention
with my styrofoam rattle box You'd smile away my
transgression And tap something lost A spitball to the ribcage My useless hard head We're
slap-happy the livelong day, Neck and neck If I could grab the man on the street with my raspy rattle plan My only personal property a raspy, whispered plan A bottle-green sky, Stinging yellow hair In a dizzy of deviation, Giddy in the glare If I could grab this whirlygig and keep it in my arms We'd persevere through what is here, And
morn what is gone A smoker's
gasp And a child's howl Cut through the air Drown
out all other sound
