Pavement (indie from 90s)

"another" indie band from the 90's. great first album (the only one i know but it is all they needed)

Summer babe and here just an example

Here

From the album Slanted And Enchanted (first one I mentioned)

I was dressed for success
But success it never comes
And i'm the only one who laughs
At your jokes when they are so bad
And your jokes are always bad
But they're not as bad as this

Come join us in a prayer
We'll be waiting waiting where
Everything's ending here

And all the sterile striking it defends
An empty dock you cast away
And rain upon your forehead
Where the mist's for hire if it's just too clear
Let's spend our last quarterstance randomly
Go down to the outlet once again

Painted portraits of minions & slaves
Crotch mavens and one night plays
Are they the only ones who laugh?
At the jokes when they are so bad
And the jokes they're always bad
But they're not as bad as this

Come join us in a prayer
We'll be waiting waiting where
Everything's ending here

And all the spanish candles unsold
Away have gone to this
And a "run-on piece of mount on"
Trembles, shivers, runs down the freeway
I guess she spent her last quarter randomly
I guess a guess is the best i'll do
Last time last time
Was the best time

Summer babe

Ice baby,
I saw your girlfriend and she was
eating her fingers like they're just another meal
but she waits there
in the levee washes
mixin' cocktails with a plastic-tipped cigar

My eyes stick to all the shiny roses
you wear on the protein delta strip
in an abandoned house but i will wait there
i'll be waiting forever...
i'll wait and wait and wait...

Minerals, ice deposits daily, dropped off
the first shiny robe
i've got a lot of things i want to sell, but
not here, babe-- tortuuurreeee...

every time i sit around i find i'm shot
every time i sit around i find i'm shot
every time i turn around i find i'm shot
every time i sit around i find i'm shot
every time every time...
you're my... summer babe
summer babe

Yes!

Great, great band, even though they ragged on Smashing Pumpkins & Stone Temple Pilots in one song. And they're my dad's favorite. All that and I still like them.

secretly I like Shady lane 😮

Man this deserves more posts, this is THE seminal indie band we're talking about people!

One 'o my favorite bands. Newark Wilder is my favorite song by them.
