| ok, well, just to throw my two cents in, here's what i hear for all of the lyrical disputes: charge it like a puzzle, hitmen wearin muzzles hesitate you die, look around, around, the second drummer drowned his telephone is found... ...i don't remember lying i don't remember a line i don't remember a word... ...face right down to the practice room tension and fame's a career... | |

| i don't think any of you have gotten this line right yet: "tension and fame's our career..." it sounds like "attention", but if you just listen you can clearly hear that he simply inhales sharply before saying "tension" | |

| I agree with Snevik he seems to be comparing a girl trying to get/keep a man with a haircut to "hair" bans trying to get/keep fans by cutting their hair into more trendy grunge styles. But the hitmen muzzles and found telephones i have no idea. | |

| First of all, you have the lyrics wrong. They should be as below: darlin' don't you go and cut your hair do you think it's gonna make him change? "i'm just a boy with a new haircut" and that's a pretty nice haircut charge it like a puzzle, hit me where it muzzles hesitate you die, look around, around, the second drummer drowned this telephone is down music scene is crazy, bands start up each and every day i saw another one just the other day a special new band i remember lying i don't remember why i don't remember what but i don't care, i care, i really don't care did you see the drummer's hair? advertising looks and chops a must no big hair!! songs mean a lot when songs are bought and so are you- fetch right down to the practice room your attention it fains a career career, Korea, Korea So yes, he does say Korea... it's just a ply on the sound of the word. Further, this song is mostly about the crap bands that were popping up everywhere during the post grunge expolsion in the early 90's. It was a statement about the death of glam-rock and insurgence of corporate influenced grunge. What most people don't realize and even more people try to impose, is that the meaning of most of Pavement's songs are not defined but implied on many layers. Malkmus and Spiral Stairs write in stream of consciousness and often the initial idea is simply diluted by the wandering of the mind as it skips from one logical train of thought to the next. For instance, I might say, "I found a dollar on the subway." But take that line and expand on it using subway as the key word and you might reason that I would follow it up, "sandwiches seems lonely when they're cold... and old." Follow this train of thought and you might have written a song about the emptiness of a failed relationship or the lonliness of big city life. The possibilities are endless. Keep this in mind when analyzing Pavement, DON'T THINK TOO MUCH, JUST FEEL IT! Cheers | |

| Also - second drummer drown part. Nastonovich, their second drummer, always used to take baths and talk on the telephone while doing so. Strange but true, from the biography. Malkmus thought it was funny, threw that random bit in this song. | |
