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

"Easily Fooled" by Pavement
This song is a b-side on the "Rattled by the Rush" single, although a much different and much better version can be found on the fourth (I think) Peel Session, which is included in _Stuff Up the Cracks_, where the song is called "The Stucliffe Catering Song". Here goes:
BG# Hey, do you need a reason F# Is there a separate season EB From which to come out of the spring G# I wait all summer long F# And then the winter's long E Then it's longer than afterwards B I don't need a timekeeper G# I don't need an interlocuter F# And baby you will look a little cuter E Day by day B If you need a trademark for you sound G# You'd better look around F# Treat it like a window not a door EB You'll get some more
F# Baby I could be a squirt F# Loosen up your magic dirt F#EB Waiting for the excellent coming of age
C# Maybe then you'd squirt along E(VII)F#(IX) Sing along, sing along
BAE(VII) So easily fooled BAE etc. so easily fooled so easily fooled F# So easily fooled
(THe song repeats from the beginning at this point)
Hey, I just want some respects I might be enough to cover you up And hold you down Whistle you up and then run you around
Look at me once you might see that the color is red Blurring up your eyes and your head Listen to your summer when you want to go down to the beach
Coppertones and empire homes Everybody needs a home Takes centuries to build And seconds to fall
I waited so patiently for you to fall But you never fall
So easily fooled You are so easily fooled So easily fooled
That's about it. Send me any questions, comments, or whatnot. /Jeff/
