1990: "Is She Weird", Pixies

Pound for Pound Bossanova may not have been the smorgasbord of innovation and catchy tunes as the previous year's Doolittle, but songs like "Velouria" and "Havalina" proved that "Black Francis" aka Frank Black could still pen a jittery, melodic ditty when he wanted to (Kim Deal, while still a member of the Pixies, had started funneling her songwriting efforts into the Breeders, so all of Bossanova's 14 tracks - save a cover of the Surftones' "Cecilia Ann" - bear Black's authorship).

"Is She Weird" is a prime example of Black's outsider imagery and surrealist lyrics, observing "your heart is ripshit / your mouth is everywhere / I'm lying in it". It's best not to think too deeply on such matters.
