Embassy row


Old intuition -- on your dock we're fishin'
Come on now, give us a grade
A for effort, and a b for delivery
C for devotion when the world starts encroaching on your plans
Where is the savoir, where is the savoir -- he's not here right now
Where is the savoir, where is the savoir-faire?

Embassy row -- the fumes they lay low
On lanes that are wide -- where the limousines glide
On the wrought-iron gates and the bone china plates
And don't forget your manners where the anthems play

In a netherworld of foreign feeds
In a netherworld of foreign feeds
In a netherworld of foreign feeds
I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown
I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take a crown

Maids, they are frisked -- and asses are kissed
I needed a visa -- I bought off a geezer
Political favors could make you a savior
In an open corner where the news is late

In a netherworld of foreign feeds
In a netherworld of foreign feeds
In a netherworld of foreign feeds
I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown
I'm gonna take a crown, I'm gonna take a crown

I need to get born, I need to get dead
I'm sick of the forms, I'm sick of being misread
By men in dashikis and their lefist weeklies
Colonized wrath -- their shining new path
The converted castle of moorish design
If you want to stay the weekend, well, we wouldn't mind
The plots they are hatching, the surface is scratching
In an open corner where the news is late

In a netherland of foreign beads
In a netherland of foreign beads
In a netherland of foreign beads
I'm gonna take you down, I'm gonna take the crown
I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown
I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown
I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Pavement is an American indie rock band formed in Stockton, California, in 1989. Considered one of the most influential bands of the 1990s indie rock movement, Pavement gained a large fanbase thanks to their sound characterized by melodic riffs, ironic and experimental lyrics, and a relaxed and carefree atmosphere. The group consists of Stephen Malkmus (vocals, guitar), Scott Kannberg (guitar), Mark Ibold (bass), Bob Nastanovich (percussion) and Gary Young (drums). Among their most important albums are "Slanted and Enchanted" (1992), considered a classic of the indie rock genre, and "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" (1994), which consolidated the band's success. Other notable albums include "Wowee Zowee" (1995) and "Brighten the Corners" (1997). Pavement disbanded in 1999 but reunited for some concerts in subsequent years, including a world tour in 2010. Their impact on indie rock music is still evident today, with numerous artists citing Pavement as a source of inspiration.
