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.

Fillmore Jive Lyrics

Pavement

Hey lady, what do you need?
Do you think youd like to come and bleed with me?
Id like to invite you to a taste of my chalice
Its a special one, its made of gold
(passed out)
Passed out on your couch
You left me there (thank you)
Let me sleep it off
I need to sleep it off
I need to sleep why dont you let me
I need to sleep why dont you
I need to sleep
I need to sleep
I need to sleep
I need to sleep, why wont you let me
I need to sleep
I need to sleep
I need to sleep
Why wont you, why wont you let me sleep?
The jam kids on the vespas
And glum looks on their faces
The street is full of punks
They got spikes
See those rockers with their long curly locks
Goodnight to the rock and roll era
Cause they dont need you anymore
Little girl, boy, girl,
Bo...................y
Their composures are so distracted
Jaspers skinny arms
And the dance faction, a little too loose for me
Every night its straight and narrow
Laws are broken, amusing era
Walls are broke in the music era
Round and round and round and round she goes....
...
Pull out their plugs and they snort up their drugs
When they pull out their plugs and they snort up their drugs
Their throats are filled with
