- Adopduction
kidnapped! I was kidnapped. I dreamed I was kidnapped. by a guy with a moustache and a chick with an eyepatch who though they could trade me back for some quick cash. but when they relayed the bargain my family said, "we'll pay half that" the haggling went on for days, the days went on for weeks and weeks for years. riding in the trunk was never fun but soon I plum ran out of tears. they camped us in the woods we cooked canned goods they never threatened me with pain. they treated cops politely driving nightly always using coded names. so if slowly I could trust them dare I say it even love them who's to blame. I learned my alphabet and letterset while setting up my latest ransom note. they got me correspondence classes, got me glasses, gave me dropcloths in the cold. my fondest memories are from my hostage crises I know it's strange. although we got so close you know they never even told me their real names.
- Blackouts
16 pairs of shoes
In a closet 6 feet deep,
And 6 feet wide and 6 feet high.
Blackouts on Thursday!
Total blackouts are where it's at.
I'm going back to high school
Where I can make out like a cat.
- Brace Yourself
Before I was a war I was a sword.
Before I was a tree I was a seed.
Before I was a cliff I was a canyon.
Before I was a feast I was a famine.
Before I was a day I was a dawn.
Before I was a prince I was a swan.
Before I was a corpse I was a kid.
- Hello Halo, Goodbye Glands
Hello to my halo,
Goodbye to my glands,
You can move a mountain with a book of plans.
You can't break a heart with my birthday wish.
You can't make a wave in a petrie dish.
Tell them,
We think they're starving.
- Intro
Bonjour et merci, nous vous remercions de votre attention.
Nous espérons que notre musique en vaut le coup.
Ces chansons ont été enregistrées durant la semaine après la st valentin 1997, à ??room,
Williamsburgh, Brooklyn, NY, États-Unis d’Amérique.
Asseyez-vous s’il vous plaît, posez vos mains sur vos genoux et fermez les yeux.
Les Savy Fav vont bientôt commencer.
Au fond de chaque perle vous trouverez une chanson. Ils les composent facilement avec passion; ils sont sérieux, mais ils savent s’amuser aussi.
Les Savy Fav sont merveilleux, ils me prennent la tête, ils me touchent partout…Je n’en peux plus. Assis ici ils me demandent trop; ils vous demandent trop. Allez-vous résister?
- Knowing How the World Works
Papa don't preach,
I beseech you man,
Your devilish deeds teach more than a teacher can.
What have we learned?
Which lessons won't stick?
Tracing the edges of wisdom and shit.
Knowing How The World Works is not knowing how to work the world.
- Let's Get Out of Here
I want you
I want you
I want you
right now
I don't need you to soothe me
to fix me
to prove me
I just want you
- One Way Widow
She was sweet sixteen, baby beauty queen.
Straight white teeth, bathed in beauty cream. Priss dont drink and priss dont smoke.
Shit dont stink and dont take jokes.
Botoxed in bobby socks. Cold as ice.
All the boys where like white on rice.
The end result is still the same,
you cant go back the way you came.
- Pills
Once when walking in the woods
I came upon a burning bush.
"What wants you vision?", says I
And it spoke, and I quote,
"Apocalypse can go down easy
You gotta know it's an acquired taste.
- Precision Auto
Superchunk cover
Have you got a minute?
Can you fit me into it?
Have you got a minute?
Have you got a year?
Have you got a year?
- Raging In The Plague Age
I used to hold the biggest balls
Deep inside my castle walls
Spend my nights with concubine
Wasted, unchaste, drunk on blood red wine
Being the king was pretty cool
I'd have to say that ruling ruled
And I'd be in throne still
Had I not one day fallen ill
- Rodeo
Fav,
Les Savy Fav,
Les Savy Fav-
That's our name.
The first crack
Was invisible,
The next crack
- The Sweat Descends
The sweat descends
The sweat scents
One cock sure fox in a house of hens
My mouth will water where the sweat descends
The sweat descends sweet decadence,
lets hope this party never ends
A shiv in the ribs,
- Tragic Monsters
What we don't know can fill a truck
What we don't know cannot hurt us
Well, is that so?
We're hard to destruct
Well, is that so?
Why do we get crushed?
