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.

Pavement

Hold on tight she wears the seek
Its got more stars than the sky
Its still forbidden to excuse
That little look in your eye
I was busted in my gut that time
That time I said i know its true
Why didnt I ask? why didnt I ask?
Why didnt I ask? why didnt I ask?
I cant believe shes married to roe
I would have turned down the light
But she always marked my fear
Doesnt make it alright.
I wanted to stay there
But you know I needed more than that
Why didnt I ask? why didnt I ask?
Why didnt I ask? why didnt i?
Why didnt I ask? why didnt I ask?
Why didnt I ask? why didnt I ask?
Why didnt I ask? why didnt I ask?
Why didnt I ask? why didnt I ask?
