a) The Wonder
----------
[Thurston]
See flashing eyes
They're flashing 'cross to me
Burnin' up the sky
Sunshining into me
Your locus crown
Cop-killin' heartbeat
Head's lookin' down
Bowin' out, to the street
I'm just walkin' around
Your city is a wonder town
Lips red to white
Lips green in black night
Your spirit flares
Flarin' up leonine
I'm just walkin' around
Your city is a wonder town
Transmitter rhyme
Transmitter, all the time
Lookin' up to the sky
I'm seein' ghosts flyin'
I'm just walkin' around
Your city is a wonder town
I think I've been there, once before
Something tells me, there's so much more
She's back in town, to even the score
It's time to go
See flashing eyes
They're flashing 'cross to me
Burnin' up the sky
Sunshining into me
Your locus crown
Cop-killin' heartbeat
Head's lookin' down
Bowin' out, to the street
I'm just walkin' around
Your city is a wonder town

b) Hyperstation
------------
Falling out of sleep, I hit the floor
Put on some rock tee and I'm out with the door
From Bowery to Broome to Greene, I'm a walking lizard
Last night's dream was a talking baby lizard
All comin' from hu-man imagination
Day dreaming days in a daydream nation
Smashed-up against a car at three A.M.
Kids just up for basketball, beat me in my head
There's bum trash in my hall and my place is ripped
I've totaled another amp, I'm calling in sick
It's an anthem in a vacuum on a hyperstation
Day dreaming days in a daydream nation

z) Eliminator Jr.
--------------
Kids cruise away, pack of chickenshits
This guy is ours, dark stains on his pants
Enough to make a butcher out of the bone
Take a walk in the park? Shit, yeah!
A poor boy, a rich boy
A poor rich boy coming right through me
Rich boy, poor boy
Poor rich boy coming right through me

Sonic Youth was an American alternative/noise rock band formed in New York City in 1981. The band, consisting of Kim Gordon (bass, vocals), Thurston Moore (guitar, vocals), Lee Ranaldo (guitar, vocals) and Steve Shelley (drums), revolutionized the musical landscape of the 1980s and 1990s with an experimental sound that blended elements of punk rock, noise, avant-garde and electronic music. Sonic Youth is known for their innovative use of guitar feedback, complex rhythms and theatrical performances. Among their most important albums are "Daydream Nation" (1988), considered a masterpiece of the alternative rock genre, and "Goo" (1990), which brought them mainstream success. Other representative tracks include "Teen Age Riot", "Sugar Kane" and "Bull in the Heather". The band disbanded in 2011 after over three decades of activity, leaving a lasting legacy in contemporary music.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
