With their fractured songs, unexpected blasts of feedback, laconic vocals, cryptic literate lyrics, and defiant low-fidelity, Pavement were one of the most influential and distinctive bands to emerge from the American underground in the '90s. Pavement, along with Sebadoh, were the leaders of the lo-fi movement that dominated U.S. indie rock in the early '90s. Initially conceived as a studio project between guitarists/vocalists Stephen Malkmusand Scott Kannberg in the '80s, Pavement gradually became a band during the early '90s. Along the way, their initial EPs and debut album, 1992's Slanted & Enchanted, earned a devoted following of musicians, indie fans, and critics.

At&t Lyrics

Pavement

Maybe somone's gonna save me
My heart is made of gravy
And the laps i swim from lunatics don't count
Open up your stocking
Pull out all the things you never wanted
'til room service calls
Room service calls

Open up your hands and let me see the things you keep in there
I want to split up fifty-fifty
That's the way we do it in this rogue's town
I've got all the glory in the world
And i hope it doesn't floor you before you go
Room service calls
In the random falls -- go!

Whenever (x6) eve eve ever i feel fine
I'm gonna walk away
From all this, all that.
The groovy groovy kitty and little little pity
With your slipshed (?) watch in back
And skinny skinny people don't like that
When you call on them
Spell me.

Spritzer on ice in new york city
Isn't it a pity?
You never had anything to mix with that
Listen to the tender behind the open chest in the hall
Room service calls
I'm blue 'n green, green and blue-oooo

Whenever (x4) ne ne ne ne never ho
I feel fi-i-ine, i'll walk the plank for you
I'll walk the plank
I wore your ?plank? for you in the d-d-d-d-dark
Of the captain (seder row?)
Jacob, jacob javitz, i'd like to thank you for everything
Primarily your glass house

I'm workin' the ballin' stores 'n
I'm cashmir wrap sellin'
Come along lads, join hands, 1. 2. 3. go! (guess, levis, guess, levis)
Whaaaahahaahahooohoaoohoo
The story it goes and a
Distorted ghost
Distorted ghost
