Pavement was an indie rock band that formed in Stockton, California in 1989. For most of the period to 1999, the band consisted of Stephen Malkmus (vocals, guitar), Scott "Spiral Stairs" Kannberg (guitar, vocals), Mark Ibold (bass), Steve West (drums) and Bob Nastanovich (percussion, vocals). During that period, and since, they have frequently been described as one of the most influential bands to emerge from the American underground of the '90s. While their split in 1999 was reportedly rather acrimonious

The verse:
A5 power chords, tickling a G5 power chord at the beginning of every couple measures, and at the beginning of each measure during the second part of the verse. Here's the gist with a lame attempt at the lyrics.
A5G5 Frequently called nothin' buts A5G5 Snorin' when you snap it back A5G5 Everyone A5G5 Knows it's you A5G5A5 Why won't you admit it, scream E5 You
That E5 is: G--9-- D--9-- A--7-- E-----
Then, the little bridge-riff is:
A--7----8--7- And take it all
Verse again, then the chorus, which goes like this:
A5 single-note A (7th fret on D) D5 I be-lieve, A-note C5E5 that I'll never leave your serpentine pad.
(just in case yr wondering, all the chords are barre)
My interpretation of the lyrics:
Frequently called nothin' buts Snorin' when you snap it back Everybody, knows it's you, why won't you admit it, scream! You And take it all
Corporate integration From the corporation I don't need this corporation attitude Tude tude tude
--Chorus-- I believe, That I'll never leave Your serpentine pad
Darlin' when you wake up Better ask the grown-ups If they have, hose and twine, leave the man who needed the lice Think it might
Be another scene, bet I don't wanna know, but I don't know, if I should, if I could or if I would, anyway (serpentine pad)
