FRONTWARDS POLL

I am the only one searchin' for you
And if I get caught
Then the search is through
And the stories you hear, you know they never add up
I hear the natives fussin' at the data chart
Be quiet, the weather's on the night news
Empty homes, plastic cones
Stolen rims, are they alloy or chrome?
Well, I've got style
Miles and miles
So much style that it's wasted
So much style that it's wasted
So much style that it's wasted

Now she's the only one who always inhales
Paris is stale and it's war if we fail
And in the migrant hotels, they never sleep
They never will
Their souls are crumblin' like a dirt clawed hole
Your cigarette cupped to the inside
Empty homes, plastic cones
Stolen rims, are they alloy or chrome?
Well, I've got style
Miles and miles
So much style that it's leavin'
This pattern's torn and we're weavin'
This pattern's torn and we're weavin' in it

― ian, Saturday, 27 March 2010 02:30 (fifteen years ago)

the live version on Luxe & Reduxe is ace

― ksh, Saturday, 27 March 2010 02:36 (fifteen years ago)

the studio version is my #1 favorite pavement song of all time tbh. but yeah, the live version is great. "this song is about moving forward."

― ian, Saturday, 27 March 2010 02:37 (fifteen years ago)

def a candidate for best song of theirs

― 51ocki (k3vin k.), Saturday, 27 March 2010 02:40 (fifteen years ago)

also iirc they are alloy

― 51ocki (k3vin k.), Saturday, 27 March 2010 02:41 (fifteen years ago)

just listened to it & realized i'm not sure if i'd ever made it all the way through the non-live version before. but man, great track.

― ksh, Saturday, 27 March 2010 02:42 (fifteen years ago)

what a fucking band

― ksh, Saturday, 27 March 2010 02:42 (fifteen years ago)

u can't fuck with bass like that imo, and huge earworm.

― ian, Saturday, 27 March 2010 02:46 (fifteen years ago)

the boopy thing at the end after the song's over

― ciderpress, Saturday, 27 March 2010 03:46 (fifteen years ago)

best poll <3 playing this song NOW

― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 27 March 2010 03:48 (fifteen years ago)

pretty sure its "dirt clod hole" iirc

not even the best song on the EP but a nice song nonetheless.
