Pavement, of course.

Pavement - Stereo
Pigs they tend to wiggle when they walk
The infrastructure rots
And the owners hate the jocks
With their agents and their dates
If the signatures are checked
You'll just have to wait
And we're counting up the instants that we saved
Entire nation so depraved
From the cheap seats see us wave to the camera
It took a giant ramrod
To raze the demon settlement

But hi ho silver ride
hi ho silver ride
Takes another ride to get me home
Get off the air
I'm on the stereo stereo
My baby baby baby baby baby
Gave me malaria hysteria

What about the voice of Geddy Lee
How did it get so high
I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy
I know him and he does
Well you are my fact checking cuz
We'll focus on the quasar in the mist
The Kaiser has a cyst
And I am a blank want list
The qualms you have and if they stick
They will drown you in a crick
In the neck of the woods that was populated by
Tired nation on the fly
Advice was given u for free
Lots of details to discern
Lots of details

But hi ho silver ride
Hi ho silver ride
Takes another ride to get me home
Listen to me
I'm on the stereo stereo
My baby baby baby baby baby
Gave me malaria hysteria

Pavement - Shady Lane
Blind date with a chancer, we had oysters and dry lancers
And the check when it arrived, we went dutch dutch dutch
Dutch a redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash
And this emory board is giving me a rash
I'm flat out
You're so beautiful to look at when you cry
Freeze don't move
You've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation
Of the sequel to your life
A shady lane
Everybody wants one
A shady lane
Everybody needs one
Oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God
Oh my God oh his God oh her God oh your God
It's everybody's God, it's everybody's God
It's everybody's God, it's everybody's God
The worlds collide
And all that I want is a shady lane
Glance don't stare
Soon you're being told to recognize your heirs
No not me
I'm an island of such great complexity
Distress surrounds
The muddy peaceful centre of this town
Tell me off
In the hotel lobby right in front of all the bellboys
And the overfriendly concierge
A shady lane
Everybody wants one
A shady lane
Everybody needs one
Oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God
Oh my God oh his God oh her God oh your God
It's everybody's God, it's everybody's God
It's everybody's God, it's everybody's God
The worlds collide
But all that I want is a shady lane

Pavement - Harness your Hopes
Harness your hopes
on just one person
because you know a harness
was only made for one
Don't telegraph your passes
You'll end up with molasses
cauterized in syrup
And syrup and molasses
And I'm checking out the asses
The assets that attract us
To anything that moves
We're deep inside the grooves
And it's time to shake the rations
cause someone's gonna cash in
The plot it turns again
The reference starts at ten
Well show me
A word that rhymes with Pavement
And I won't kill your parents
And roast them on a spit
And a-don't you try to etch it
Or permanently sketch it
Or your gonna catch a bad bad cold
And the freaks have stormed the white house
I moved into a lighthouse
It's on a scenic quay
It's oh so far away
Far away from the beginning
The shroud is made of linen
The yearling took the purse
The goth kid has a hearse
Heart-breaking
Earth-quaking
Kiwis they are home baking
Minds wide open truly
Leisure
A leisure suit is nothing
It's nothing to be proud of
In this late century
And I'm asking you to hold me
Just like the morning paper
Pinched between your pointer
Your index and your thumb
It's a semi-automatic
Believers are ecstaic
You see the way they cling
The cold metallic sting
And I'm living in a coma
For Donna DeVorona
The harness made of hopes
The lovers on the ropes
Nun is to church
As the parrot is to perch
And my Heart's
Wide open Truly
