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.

Fun for an hour til the hours gone
Can one trick nights feed 40 days?
In my bed at the break of dawn
She shivered like a vein slashed bright and new
Shes got the radio active and it makes me feel ok (I dont feel ok) [x2]
Grip-force the vials and strip the locks
Smash the set & slash the beds
And when it looks life a wifes ex-plot
Well cover all the rugs with cheap perfume
Shes got the radio active and it makes me feel ok (I dont feel ok) [repeat]
Like a docents lisp, like a damsels spit, like a dry gins twist (of lime)
Like a poor droll sir, like a pikes dull spurs, like a pastors flock (of sheep)
