Groovies' Greatest Grooves is a 1989 compilation album by U.S. rock band the Flamin' Groovies, originally released by Sire Records. The tracks were selected by Rolling Stone Senior Writer Michael Goldberg and freelance rock critic Michael Snyder, who also co-wrote the liner notes. Goldberg and Snyder wanted to emphasize the Groovies' original material. It collected tracks from throughout the group's career, and showcased their versatility and changing styles throughout the years. It is notable for being one of the few CDs released in the CD+G format.
Here lie I paralyzed waiting for...the end.
Feeling again this stupid heart
pumping the blood in this breast.
Anointed with pain like honey
and it deformed my face.
A slash grows between the veins
under my skin and bones.
I've seen her eyes they seem so kind
she pales my lips.
But she doesn't care how long I last
