Pixies - Bossanova: Wikipedia Album Entry
Bossanova is the third album by the American alternative rock band Pixies, released in August 1990 on the English independent record label 4AD. All of Bossanova's original material was written by the band's frontman Black Francis; it marked the point where his artistic control over the band became absolute. The album's sound, inspired by surf and space rock, complements its lyrical focus on outer space, which references subjects such as aliens and unidentified flying objects.
Because of 4AD's independent status, major label Elektra Records handled distribution in the United States; however, Bossanova only reached #70 on the Billboard 200. It charted significantly higher in the United Kingdom, reaching #3 in the Albums Chart. Two singles were released from Bossanova, Velouria and Dig for Fire both charted highly on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Pixies - Bossanova Lyrics
Pixies - All Over The World Lyrics
With a pet at my side
God in the sky
Snow falling down
Freeze my body to the ground
Pixies - The Happening Lyrics
They got a ranch they call
Number Fifty-One
They got a ranch they call
Number Fifty-One
Pixies - Rock Music Lyrics
Your mouth's a mile away
Your mouth's a mile away
Your mouth's a mile away
Your mouth's a mile away
Pixies - Is She Weird Lyrics
I know you're rich in
Good clothes and little things
Your mind is fancy
(And your car is [Incomprehensible])
Pixies - Havalina Lyrics
Havalina, Havalina, Havalina, Havalina
Walking in the breeze on the plains of Old Segona
(Arizona)
Pixies - Hang Wire Lyrics
They're going higher
Wind is whistling on the barbs
Your head's a hammer
Pixies - Down to The Well Lyrics
Betty always knows
Betty always tells
She's laughing desperately
Pixies - Dig for Fire Lyrics
There is this old woman, she lives down the road
You can often find her kneeling inside of her hole
And I often ask her "Are you looking for the mother lode?"
No, no my child, this is not my desire and then she said
Pixies - Blown Away Lyrics
Now the sun is burning in deepest space
That's the way things are
Through a storm I called you it fell each day
I didn't get so far
Pixies - Ana Lyrics
She's my fave, undressing in the sun
Return to sea, bye, forgetting everyone
Eleven high, ride a wave
Pixies - Allison Lyrics
From distant star to this here bar
The me, the you, where are we now?
Hurray the blues of everyone
Allison
Pixies - Velouria Lyrics
Hold my head, we'll trampoline
Finally through the roof onto somewhere near and far in time
Velouria, her covering, traveling career
She can really move, oh, Velveteen
