The Jesus and Mary Chain

Songwriter: Prince

Producer: William Reid Jim Reid

I'm going down to Alphabet Street
I'm gonna crown the first girl that I meet
I'm gonna talk so sexy
She'll want me from my head to my feet

I'm gonna drive my daddy's thunderbird
I'm gonna try but you know it's absurd
I'm gonna put her in the back seat
And drive her to Tennessee

I'm going down down down cause that's the only way
To make this cruel cruel world hear what we've got to say
Put the right letters together and make a better day

The Jesus and Mary Chain are a Scottish Alternative Rock band formed by the two brothers, Jim and William Reid in 1983 with various bandmates joining them throughout the years.

Their debut, Psychocandy received critical acclaim and became a vastly influential album.

The band was influenced by The Stooges and The Velvet Underground and their sound successfully lands somewhere between the Stooges' noise and Lou Reed’s catchy lyrics.
