Banana Co
Oh, Banana Co.
We really love you,
and we need you
And oh, Banana Co.
We'd really love to believe you

But everything's underground
We gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah, yeah

Oh, she said "No go"
She said she'd like to,
she's seen you
And oh, Banana Co.
She knows if you die then we all do

And everything's underground
We've gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah, yeah

Everything's burning down
We gotta put it out somehow
Yeah, yeah
Originally released: May 1993
Found on: Street Spirit CD2
Alternative version: acoustic, Pop is Dead single & Itch EP


While most of the band's 1993 songs have been dropped from their live set, this beautiful number is still periodically covered. "Banana Co." originated on the "Pop is Dead" single as an acoustic track from a radio session Thom did in 1993; then a studio version made it onto the benefit compilation Criminal Justice: Axe the Act. This new recording, with electric guitars, was also used as the B-side on the second part of the "Street Spirit" release.
