Pavement - Date With Ikea Lyrics






The actress is always breaking things
The things you made she took you for
And I'm so tired I'd be lying
I hope the prarie buys you more
The fitness coast is growing near
The shores they don't stay blond this year
That's why the marblelawn stays clear and warm in time
I want to stay but my time is wasting
Magic lands call my name
They want to fire a missle launcher to the sky
I know I need to stay
And we all know that by staying here
It will be a good high this year
So what's the use of staying there
If you've got no use for time
The fitness coast is growing near
The shores they don't stay blond all year
The continent moves with growing fear
It's all for expensive lawn
I want to stay but my time is wasting
Magic lands call my name
They want to fire a missle launcher to the sky
I know I need to stay
I know I need to stay and fight the day
I know I need to stay and fight the day
I know I need to stay and fight the day

  5. P.... ....

    Malkmus's voice REALLY ruins this song!

  6. A.... B....

    You can't sound much more like Guided By Voices...

    A.... B....

    A.... B....

    @zacatecanjack I can sort of see it tbh, but it's a bit of a stretch, yeah.

    G.... ....

    So the song title has fuck all to do with the rest of the lyrics. Sounds like Pavement to me.

    G.... ....

    bigstar66 well yeah- but nah bro needing to stay where you're at means you need some furniture- get me?

    G.... ....

    Damn I always thought he said confinement after I know I need to stay

  15. t.... ....

    Does anyone think the scene in Ikea in the film 500 Days of Summer was inspired by this tune?

    t.... ....

    I hope not..i hate that film

  16. F.... F....

    sparklehorse is the shit

  17. a.... B....

    i would so masturbate to this song

    a.... B....

    Who's stopping you?

    a.... B....

    Yeah, who's stopping you?

    a.... B....

    I want to marry you

  18. J.... ....

    this song makes me want to go out and buy furniture

  19. a.... ....

    I can't stop listening to this song.

  20. C.... M....

    The beginning kinda sounds like The Beatles.

  21. G.... C....

    Anybody know where I can get a guitar tab for this? Thanks.

    G.... C....

    check it out: internet.internet

  22. t.... ....

    @WeezerFan4Ever your name rocks

  23. T.... 8....

    huh? i cant stand pink but ive been reading the posts and....if someonoe thinks they sound the same then it still sounds like pink whether or not pavement is older i mean this is an arguement about english not freaking music lmao

  24. h.... ....

    @ybrik222 dude. who the fuck cares? that was just an annoying thing to say and if you cant see why you are a jackass

  25. b.... ....

    best pavement song

  26. C.... B....

    either way

  27. p.... d....

    sounds like something from GBV's Bee Thousand album. Great tune.

  28. y.... ....

    @bluuuuhh

    Wow, sorry for offending you so much. O.o

  29. b.... ....

    @ybrik222 first off, i said it kinda starts off like "trouble"-KIND OF....Your not the first to "correct" people's observations on the comment baords. I don't need to say that "it" sounds like "it" just cuz "it" is more current. "It" still sounds like "It". I come on here and occasionally post commects as a liesurly thing, I don't get caught up in making perfectly crafted critiques, i do it cuz i'm interested in the music and it feels good to share with people who have similar taste.

  30. y.... ....

    @bluuuuhh

    I mean that you should be saying that Pink's "Trouble" sounds like this, and not the other way around.

  31. b.... ....

    @ybrik222 wats ur point? or "oh, thanx for pointing that out, i didnt know that..." -_- plz....

  32. y.... ....

    @bluuuuhh

    This song's older than any of Pink's albums. -_-

  33. b.... ....

    starts off kinda like pink's trouble hehe, like that song but LOOOOVE THIS SONG!!
