Nothing Touches Me nothing touches me man these walls are three feet thick wouldn't take one of them little drills to get through it i try to make her listen when i turn away she's split i try to make her listen when i turn away she's split she went... nothing touches me nothing touches me now nothing touches me man no matter how you split sticks and stones can get through bones so i've given up looking out of it i try to make her listen when i turn away she's split i try to make her listen when i turn away she's split she went... nothing touches me now laugh if you can, if you can, if you can, at me now

Originally Released: April 1991 Found on: Manic Hedgehog demo tape One of the earliest tracks from the On a Friday days, this song appears only on the Manic Hedgehog cassette, though it is fairly easy to obtain on the tape-trade market. Thom described the composition in an early interview:"[It's] based on an artist who was imprisoned for abusing children and spent the rest of his life in a cell, painting, but the song is about isolating yourself so much that one day you realize you haven't got any friends anymore and no one talks to you." The painter to whom Thom is referring was also the inspiration for the computer art he created while at Exeter.
