Pavement - Shoot The Singer (1 Sick Verse)

Lyrics:
Someone took in these pants
Somebody painted over paint
Painted wood
And where he stood, no one stands
It's been said he's sitting now
In the churning land

Well, I've seen saints, but remember
That I forgot to flag 'em down
When they passed
And in the morning light
You hold that ashtray tight
You could put it out
But I can't put it out

My hands shook, down and out
I've got the blisters of the world
World new
I name the book after you
So look up and watch the camera lens
When the risers fade

Slow it down! Song is sacred!
And brother, you're a hunter
And you're right at home
And in the morning light
I'll hold my ashtray tight
I could take it down
And you can't take it down

La-da-da-da-da-da-da (4x, etc.)

Don't expect (7x)

[caseyamelia94]

this is literally my favorite song ever

[modestlyneutral]

This song is amazing. Every time I hear the line "brother, you're a hunter and you're right at home" I get chills. Malkmus gets it, whatever it is...

@pabulum28

i was going to comment about how i felt about this song and how i got into it, but you stated it all for me clearly. It's a sick EP.

[pabulum28]

Agreed. This was one of the first Pave songs I ever heard. I was listening to kooky hard-on stuff like Depeche Mode at the time (which had its place once...but that time had long since passed when I first started listening to this)...and this EP totally/singlehandedly changed my taste in music.

There aren't many things I love more than this song
