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.

Forklift Lyrics

Pavement

Chinese spectate riding forklift,
Mother says no
Cant I for...forklift me?
Why? because I need money, work,
Time is my life, not hers.
What does it mean?
Of course work sucks: spend week in nevada
Dancing with old lady full of nickels,
Full of nickels and dimes
Makes me tired, lose my..self
Lose my cash
I get really fucked and then really drunk...
(something about playing cards and being from iowa
And the dealer had 21)
Nothing left back home with his forklift
Driving past boss creamer, age 24
Delta pi, phd
Mr. creamer, tired of words,
Looked at me,life is a forklift.
Now my mouth is a forklift
This I ask: that you serve as a forklift too.
Christmas, christmas
