I knew it musta been, some big set-up... f r i c t i o n. A dual I-V riff opener, followed by descending triplets with a twisting tail prior to the start of the first verse. The bass line and hi-hat hit make me think of some kind of unique punk disco combination. Marquee Moon is a guitar-saturated album. The interplay between Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd is some of the best recorded. Very dynamic and inventive, riffing and soloing all over the place.
My eyes are like telescopes...
Verlaine sounds like Barbarino - 'you give me too much homework, Mista Kottuh. I need time to write my poems!'
