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.

Old To Begin Lyrics

Pavement

Embrace the senile genius
Watch him reinvent the wheel
I dont need your summary acts, summary acts to give into the narrative
Age
Old to begin -- I will set you back, set you back, set you
Old to begin -- I will set you back, set you back, set you
We get to feeling like a fixture
Set in 1966 -- time came that we drifted apart
Drifted apart to find an identical twin
Old to begin -- I will set you back, set you back, set you
Old to begin -- I will set you back, set you back, fella
Searching for latent cause -- blame it on menopause
Or perhaps stress and strain -- credit cards, lumbar pain
But Ive seen your double dares everything extraordinaire
I know the things you do are gonna come back
