Cut Your Hair (Remix)


Pavement rock-and-roll and full-length band 
Is it indie as a brief brush cult?
Best also first former Spiral Stairs
Guitarists Stockton formed lo-fi

Louder than forever, perfect demolition
1992
Slanted sound, a sound, replace release cassette
A genius gets upset

Ch: 
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh! 
And then this bit times two
Ooh ooh!

Critics are foolish
Slay Tracks drums, frequent influence out
Among the handstands on drunken venue tours
A picket fence song

Beavis Butt-head airplay, and hippie character lines
In tracks that sounded like mud but shady hits
The hits, like fragments of dusk
Did the terror kind of work?

Ch: 
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh! 
And then this bit times two
Ooh ooh!

Two-week session span in Oregon – Jackpot cool!
Rest Major Leagues, his coat, the bus, and so wore on
Great set list Coachella fest
Effectively said, who foresaw, foresaw, foresaw, foresaw?

Ch: 
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh! 
And then this bit times two
Ooh ooh!

Can, Oh Yeah


Something primal taps
the timeless drummer-time
keeps how ancient
tribes would chant
and summon realms
of conscious groove

Some lost intensity of
causal vocals’ casual 
brilliance brings the rush
of taking your hand 
on a walk through life
with the greatest band

Some translate a final verse
as a crazy guy alone and sitting
pissing atop rainbows like 
a lucky thing with hungry ghosts 
in an acid town in a morning
that still won’t come
