~ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐
Let's listen to a bit of punk rock with the noisy "๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐", a track from ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐'s second album,"๐พ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฐ'๐ ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐" (1998). ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐ stated that "๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" was born during their first tour, more specifically on October 31, 1996 when they visited ๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐๐ for the first time:

The intro of "๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" is truly fascinating. It starts with small guitar riffs while ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐'s distorted voice is heard through a megaphone and after some bouncing bass lines, the rhythm of the guitars and drums explode in a brutal way, representing the fury, the desperation and the painful feeling when the person you love has found a new lover. But you know that in the ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐ world, things are never that simple and to describe those emotions, ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ approaches this story from a much more interesting perspective:
๐ค "A disembodied soul floats overhead, observing the living. It's a ghost story, about somebody watching their lover make love to the person who killed them."

๐The title comes from the ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐๐ colloquial phrase "๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" which is used to refer mainly to tall, big and muscular men. The term "๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" comes from the large brick-built outdoor toilets that were common in working class areas of the ๐ผ๐ฒ, although it also means an obnoxious or despicable person, therefore it makes perfect sense that the "ghost", who is narrating the story in the song, refers to his killer as a "๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐".

๐ธThe line "๐ซ๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐?" appears in the lyrics of "๐น๐๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ด๐", the title track of ๐ท๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐'s second album released in 1993, which in turn she took from the song "๐ซ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐" by ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ (yes! the same band that had a song called ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐, from which ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ and ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ ๐๐ took the first name of the band before being called ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐). Coincidentally, this ๐ท๐ฑ song speaks of a similar feeling to "๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" although more extreme, as ๐ท๐๐๐๐ wrote it when she was going through a very difficult period in her life. She had a nervous breakdown as a result of the exhaustion of having toured almost non-stop for a year. She was barely eating and was also coping with the breakup of a relationship. As far as I know, ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ has not confirmed that it is a reference to ๐ท๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐, but the truth is that he admires her a lot and she is one of his main influences in his writing.

๐ค๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: I'm really proud of them. Not to be pretentious or arrogant, but I don't think there are many people who write such honest lyrics ... except maybe PJ Harvey!

๐ธ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐ has played "๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" live 67 times in total, mostly between 1997 and 1999. The very first time they played it before an audience was on December 18, 1996 in ๐ณ๐๐๐ ๐๐ just two months after writing it, and the last time was on April 11, 2003 in ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐๐ .

๐ค๐๐ญ๐๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ: I really like the whole album. I'm kind of like Brian, I can't really pick and choose. I'm pretty proud of what we did with Brick Shithouse for example. We never gave it a final version live and when we recorded it for the album, we saw the impact and the energy of it.
