Pavement- Cherry Area

From Ep Shady Lane (1997)
"Shady Lane" is a song by Pavement that appears on the band's album Brighten the Corners. It was also released as a two-part single and as an EP, which collects the B-sides from both the British singles. The single was accompanied by a promotional video directed by Spike Jonze[1]. "Shady Lane" would become a top 40 hit in the UK for the band.

The EP was released May 20, 1997 on Matador Records (catalogue number 266).[1] It collects all the B-sides from the two "Shady Lane" UK singles. "Shady Lane (krossfader)" is a very similar version to the one on the album Brighten the Corners; the gap between the first chorus and second verse is shortened and the extended instrumental part towards the end (identified on the album as J vs. S) is omitted. The song "Slowly Typed" can also be found on Brighten the Corners, where it is named "Type Slowly". The version here is quite different, faster and more lo-fi with a country touch.

Hey
You needed 'A' for effort
But I give you a 'Z' for delivery, my friend

You are too late and I need to escape
to my private apartment
and my gross, gross television set

It's new and it's current it's got
new and it's current is hot
special special director's cut
just for you, my friend my friend

Blasted concept and my cherry area
is just a little scary to be around right now
so keep away, my friend

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!
Watch that hand, my friend
you're in a sacred environment
you're in a sacred environment, ya know

I need to go, I need to go, I need to
