Here Comes Your Man

Pixies · Live At Brixton Academy London [2010]

Outside there's a boxcar waiting

Outside the family stew

Out by the fire breathing

Outside we wait 'til face turns blue

I know the nervous walking

I know the dirty beard hangs

Out by the boxcar waiting

Take me away to nowhere plains

There is a wait so long

You'll never wait so long

Here comes your man (x3)

Big shake on the boxcar moving

Big shake to the land that's falling down

Is a wind makes a palm stop blowing

A big, big stone fall and break my crown

There is a wait so long

You'll never wait so long

Here comes your man (x4)

There is a wait so long

You'll never wait so long

Here comes your man (x4)

Here Comes Your Man

Pixies' "Here Comes Your Man" remains a defining track in the alternative rock canon, originally appearing on their 1989 album Doolittle.

This particular recording captures the group performing live at London's Brixton Academy in 2010, showcasing their enduring energy and ability to connect with audiences decades after their initial rise. The track exemplifies the band's influential sound, which helped shape the grunge and indie rock movements of the 1990s. While the studio version is widely celebrated, live performances often highlight the raw intensity and improvisational spirit that characterize the Pixies' concerts. This recording serves as a testament to the song's lasting impact and the band's continued relevance in the rock landscape.
