Blister in The Sun was by The Violent Femmes, off their first album. It
was a trio with bass, drums, and singer/songwriter Gordon Gano on
guitar.

"When I'm walking I strut my stuff, I don't even know why. I'm high as a
kite, I just might..."

"Let me go out like a blister in the sun, let me go out, big hands, I
know you're the one."

Just a few lines I recall. Hey, always wondered what the hell "big
hands" meant in this context, but I guess Gordon Gano knows that they're
the one. Whatever that means.

"Blister in the sun" is by Violent Femmes
It goes something like this:

When I'm walking I strut my stuff and I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite and I just might
Stop to check you out
Let me go on
Like I blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands I know you're the one
Body in beats (?)
I stain my sheets


I don't even know why

My girlfriend she's at the end
She is starting to cry
Let me go on
Like I blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands I know you're the one
When I'm a walkin' I strut my stuff and I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out
(Repeat many times etc. etc.)

Gordon Gano of Violent Femmes.

From the lyric sheet of the _Violent Femmes_ CD:

When I'm out walking I strut my stuff, yeah, and I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite, I just might stop to check you out

(CHORUS)
Let me go on like I blister in the sun
Let me go on, big hands, I know you're the one

Body and beats, I stain my sheets, I don't even know why
My girlfriend, she's at the end, she is starting to cry--CHORUS
