KISS - Hotter Than Hell.jpg

"Going Blind" (Simmons/Coronel) – 4:32

Originally by KISS from their 1974 album, Hotter Than Hell.

Melvins version originally appeared on the H.I.V. Groupie Hits Pack bootleg as a 1987 live recording from San Francisco, CA at the I-Beam. It was officially released as a studio recording on Houdini in 1993. Also appears on A Live History of Gluttony and Lust, 2006

Lyrics

And I know how it's to be

There is nothing more for you and I

Some are young and some are free

But I think I'm going blind


'Cause I think I'm going blind

And I know how it should be


Little lady, can't you see?

You're so young and so much different than I

I'm ninety-three, you're sixteen

Can't you see I'm going blind?


'Cause I think I'm going blind

And I know how it should be


(Solo)


'Cause I think I'm going blind

And I know how it should be


You're much younger, can't you see?

There is nothing more for you and I

I'm ninety-three, you're sixteen

And I think I'm going blind


Yes I think I'm going blind

And I know how it should be

Notes

Legend has it that Buzz sent a tape of the Melvins cover of Going Blind to Gene Simmons. When he heard how slow it was he thought his tape player had broken and bought a new one.

From: http://www.truepunk.com/interviews/the_melvins/

Q: So no truth in the rumour you sent a tape of your tranquilized version of KISS's Going Blind to Gene Simmons? I heard he listened to it then tossed out his stereo thinking it was broken!<br?> Buzzo: I don't remember sending him anything. Let's say it's true. He did do that, and then he came to our house and me and him proceeded to get excessively drunk on radiator fluid. He got hammered off his ass and took his pants off.
