Pavement - Major Leagues Lyrics






Lip balm on watery clay
Relationships, hey hey hey
You kiss like a rock, but you know I need it anyway
Angle for the ringside seats, when they fall don't blame me

Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues

How you gonna tech him to walk
When he can't even finish the, he can't even finish the songs
Of the law, are they civilized or Satanist?
Cater to my walls and see if they fall, don't leave me

Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues

They wear you down sometimes, kids like wine
Magic Christians chew the rind
'Cause bad girls are always bad girls
Let's let 'em in

Darling, we're up against it
And there is no time for
Tie-ins, tie-ins, tie-ins, go

Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues

They wear you down sometimes, kids like wine
Magic Christians chew the rind
'Cause bad girls are always bad girls
Let 'em in

    No other band does nostalgia like pavement

  8. �.... Q....

    wish i could live inside this video

  9. R.... D....

    Who's here in 2019? Wew Lads.

  10. r.... ....

    mission hill <3

  11. M.... S....

    0:53 in the Pavement slow century documentary the band did a commentary on this music video and bob said something like "I can't believe you did that Stephen, raise your eyebrows to the camera with a bunch of flowers in your hands. What were you doing?" And Stephen responded with "Acting gay man".

    M.... S....

    Marley Schweiger I gotta get that

  12. J.... F....

    Juntense de nuevo y vuelvan a Argentina, es una orden.

  13. M.... C....

    I think I'm in love with sthephen malkmus

  14. D.... P....

    Mima Moundz

  15. c.... ....

    dad shoes masters

  16. I.... S....

    "How you gonna teach him to walk when he cant even-He cant even finish the songs of the law"Reminds me of Gar young doing hand stands

  17. P.... M....

    eis o portal do tempo...por mais distante que estamos dos anos 90 ao assistir Pavement rapidamente voltamos no tempo

  18. E.... ....

    great song! iirc it's about marrying the individual human being that you want to (at least ostensibly) spend the rest of your life with lol...

  19. F.... C....

    who was the director in this video?

  20. S.... ....

    0:53 is that Morrissey?

  21. r.... d....

    'cause bad girls are always bad girls... let's let 'em in.

  22. J.... M....

    The 90s were shit, but these guys almost made up for it.

    J.... M....

    I thought so. Most of pop culture since the 70s was shit. We idealize the best parts, but the average is usually horrible.

  23. N.... ....

    favorite song

  24. L.... C....

    Video summary: Stephen walking and crawling around a field, occasionally posing, and looking endearingly into the camera.

  25. M.... F....

    best song ever

  26. G.... S....

    Love this song, but every time I hear it, the instrumentation just sooo reminds me of the Verve. Maybe it's "The Drugs Don't Work"? I'm not sure, and it's really not a bad thing since Urban Hymns is one of the best start to finish albums ever made.

  27. I.... N....

    I remember watching this video for the first time and realizing I had a huge crush on Stephen Malkmus... he's so hot I want to cry.

  28. A.... G....

    if the 90s were a concert Nirvana started the show and Pavement finish ..wonderful night

  29. M.... P....

    Muy BUeno.

  30. J.... M....

    Malkmus deffo looks like 90's Louis Theroux maybe theyre the same guy

    J.... M....

    holy fuck I was thinking the same lol

    J.... M....

    He also reminds me of the brother of step brothers who gets punched

  31. D.... J....

    Tuning into MTV2 and seeing shit like this. =3

    D.... J....

    I remember that, back in a day MTV2 was wild

  32. P.... S....

    "Relationships, hey hey hey." genius

    P.... S....

    Took the words right out of my mouth, Clumsy. One of my favorite lines, ever.

    P.... S....

    Mr. Mohagany sure, thanks for pointing out the obvious. It’s not clear to me why it’s genius in any sense of the term, though. What do you think?

    P.... S....

    Agreed. If you think about each hey signifying a difference phase of a relationship; beginning, middle, end. The note and mood descends for each. Rinse and repeat!

    P.... S....

    @buncho888 Can someone help me? I am from Brazil and translating this lyrics, I can not see any meaning, although the music touches me in a very good way. That way, could someone explain the song to me, what does it mean or your opinion about it? thank you

    P.... S....

    Sick Lyrics

  40. J.... V....

    Maybe someone had already said this. Love this song, but does anyone think 1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins is about to start at the end. They would really suit each other. 

    J.... V....

    I don't think that Billy Corgan would appreciate that comparison. lol

    J.... V....

    blur😭

    J.... V....

    my boys..

  41. K.... L....

    perfect demonstration of how you don't need a budget to make a great music video

  42. R.... J....

    You think Kurt Vile liked this song! 14 years later comes Wakin On A Pretty Daze. All great music comes back.

  43. S.... P....

    I think I've just "got" Pavement. I'm gonna listen to them so much over the next week lol. Love that feeling.

  44. A.... S....

    As long as we have Pavement, we have the spirit of an everlasting summer evening in the nineties...

    A.... S....

    Alex Stanton fuck, best coment in a pavement song ever

    A.... S....

    Wow, well put!

    A.... S....

    A.... S....

  45. a.... ....

  46. R.... L....

    keeeyl yrslf

    Just broke up with my girlfriend, found out she was cheating on me! Time to move on, it's gonna be tough but glad I found out now until a lot later!

  48. k.... ....

  49. D.... E....

    your dad sounds awesome

  50. a.... c....

    Oh Pavement.

  51. S.... N....

    I think I'd marry those songs too. Definitely.

  60. B.... R....

    This might just be the whitest video I've ever seen.

  61. c.... ....

    Pavement is black. That's why we step on it.

  62. K.... R....

    I remember my dad would always play Pavement and Sonic Youth when we were in the car when I was little, good memories.

  63. r.... e....

    awesome song. this is a timeless song....

  64. A.... ....

    the sexiest man in the world.

    Wait... I thought Pavement were black!

  66. t.... ....

  68. M.... P....

    Doesn't really look like America. I remember Putt-Putt Inc., t-circle

  69. g.... ....

    just 3 minutes and 27 seconds of stephen malkmus ripping about innit

  70. A.... C....

    Pavement siempre ha estado para mi en esos momentos de necesidad.Los amo

  71. j.... s....

    Love Pavement! Listened to them for an entire 8 hour Minneapolis trip.

  72. A.... D....

    what makes this so sad is that this is their last video together. 5 guys heading towards middle age at a mini-golf course, still kids, but growing out of it. hurts my heart, brothers & sisters.

  73. F.... ....

    this song is amazing. one of their best for sure

  74. b.... ....

    This song has aged well. The old Rockets jersey has not.

  75. R.... B....

    I was kinda surprised when this came on how i met your mother.

  76. R.... A....

    One of the best albums of all-time. Fact.

  77. K.... B....

    I'm gay for Malkmus.

  78. R.... R....

    Great song

  79. p.... g....

    from time to time i remind myself just how PERFECT this song is...

  80. M.... ....

    Video budget. $0.

  81. P.... P....

    Pavement always put me in good mood

  82. m.... ....

    alternative video is better , beautiful tune..

  83. J.... F....

    Also Malkmus is clearly impersonating Morrisey in this video

  84. J.... F....

    Damn, the quality is great for being uploaded in 2006

  85. t.... ....

    @4991evoli i agree he is quite the dreamboat in this video

  86. T.... ....

    You kiss like an Iraqi.

  87. p.... ....

    @professionalkillergk and they signed 2 more!!!

  88. e.... ....

    relationships, HEY HEY HEYYYY

  89. T.... ....

    bob's charles barkley jersey shows he was a true bro back in 1999.

  90. Z.... ....

    This album? Good times.

    You need to just relax and not think about anything? Pop this sucker in. I'll never understand the bad reviews. It may not have the grit that the previous ones had before it, but still, it's an amazing swan song.

  91. r.... ....

    Bad girls ARE always bad girls...

  92. A.... C....

    the best part is they are not even acting

  93. V.... S....

    @glensonville Why Gibbard? What happened with them?

  94. A.... ....

    Now I want to play crazy golf again :-)

  95. r.... a....

    I like Stephen's body language :D.

  96. K.... B....

    @darrius54 I know how ya feel
