Pavement - Shady Lane Lyrics
Blind date with the chancer, we had oysters and dry lancers
And the check, when it arrived, we went dutch, dutch, dutch, dutch
A redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash
And this emery board is giving me a rash
You're so beautiful to look at when you cry
Freeze, don't move
You've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation of the sequel to your life
A shady lane, everybody wants one, a shady lane, everybody needs one
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh your god, oh his god, oh her god
It's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's everybody's god
The worlds collide, but all that we want is a shady lane
Glance, don't stare
No, not me
I'm an island of such great complexity
Distress surrounds
In the muddy peaceful center of this town
Tell me off
In the hotel lobby right in front of all the bellboys and the over-friendly concierge
A shady lane, everybody wants one, a shady lane, everybody needs one
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh your god, oh his god, oh her god
It's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's everybody's god
The worlds collide, but all that I want is a shady lane

the worlds collide...
No, not me. I'm an island of such great complexity....
I dont know if this is in G or G sharp
So no head?
I hate this. Thumbs up.
This takes me way back and it still sounds fresh.. Loved this band for years..
A shady lane, everybody wants one
A shady lane, everybody needs one

Pavement were either a great, really talented band trying to pretend to not care about making hit songs while still trying or a really bad, awkward and talentless band trying their damndest to make hit songs but making something strange and interesting instead. Great mystery.
Stephen Malkmus's head: "Mr. Shady Lane, I don't feel so good."
"Glance Don't Stare.....
RIGHT IN FRONT OF ALL THE BELL BOYS AND THE OVER-FRIENDLY CONCIERGE
still good to ear...
Tanta roba, tanta! 🍒
A friend of mine gave me Crooked Rain Crooked Rain LA's Desert Origins with the words: "Topi, you might like this, I don't." I listened it and was hooked. Now I own almost all Pavement & other Malkmus albums. I love his voice.
Wish I had one

90s indie was the last time we had good music
Sounds a bit different than the Album version... or is it just me ?
like a faster edit. prolly the upload
o shit i think i understand the lyrics. He went on a date and forgot his wallet and couldnt pay. I think im not sure tbh.
This video is a masterpiece.
This band is comfort food for your soul

Why's the key different for the official video? Is the tape just sped up slightly?
>band has two drummers
Sounds like Weezer before there was weezer.
weezer existed in 1997 and they fucking blew like they always did
I thought they used to be good.
@CometCourse 90s Weezer was fucking great. How dare you
So much my best years, @turnpikedown:so true.
One of the best band to ever exist. I wish my existence was their music
is this that despacito song?
Reminds me of digging through my sister's record collection. Finding records like this, Sebadoh, and Lemonheads stuff totally made the 90s for me.
Dallon brought me here...awesome song👌

check out the Brobecks and IDKHBTFM:)
Me too my new Friend :)
I'm here of my own volition, but I love iDKHOW and The Brobecks. When did he mention it?
Love this band
Driver-les cars. Pavement !
Highbrow for the unbrowed

Jajajaa wean
es mejor la bersion shilena hermano arriva shile
they were hipster way before it was cool
Indeed!
modern day hipsters dress similar to their style too haha
Fucking 90s man
sattva?
I fucking miss the 90's. The music was the last of what was authentic and real. With quite a few exceptions, I grant you. But still, the last great decade,
but always true to some degree. underlying passion is mostly absent these days. it's just too easy.
I get what your saying but theres so much great music around now if your open to it.
Please. Limp Bizkit? Right Said Fred? Remember that? Good and bad music exists in every decade. I can't wait to be in 2030 or when just 2020 and have everyone saying "I miss the 2010's when we had such catchy songs."
The first reply was right. Everyone says this every time 10 years passes.
Even if you say a few exceptions, the 90's weren't the last great decade. 10 years is actually a lot for shit to happen. Lots of horrible things happened in the 90's as well. Columbine. The Oklahoma City bombing.
both decades since then have been great, you probably just don't listen to enough music
i love this
Such a great music video
Lady Shane
eternally shook
never-
in the entire history of music-
has such an awesome verse been paired with such a shitty chorus.
The chorus is awesome and one of the best Pavement choruses.
It's everybody's god.
what the fuck is wrong with you? the chorus is sick
grendelwasajedi I second the chorus part, should only listen in the presence of a barf bag
hold Mercedes 300d w123 car verry cool
1997-1999 was probably the saddest years of Pavement. That spark just wasn't there anymore.
Weird... that's my favourite era
why did pavement have two drummers
Because the fall had 2 drummers and some say pavement are a fall rip off, I prefer to say there influenced by the best band ever? Well I think so.
if memory serves English band Adam and the ants had two drummers....in the early 80s....not sure if that inspired them...
The Fall had over a dozen drummers, sometimes all at the same time.
ilikeponie ministry, in the in case you didn't feel like showing up live video has two drummers at the same time
+Robert Russell. Not some people, Mark E Smith. And he's drunk 90 per cent of the time.
Took me forever to realize that the guitar is tuned a quarter step sharp...fucking weird.
Actually, in the recording of the song on Brighten the Corners everything is tuned standard; I've even seen clips of this video within larger videos and it sounds like the album version, in G Major, but for some reason when Domino decided to post this they shifted it up and slightly increased the speed, no idea why
It's weird sure, but try standard sharp some time. Makes everything sound really bright and full imo (also twangy but i likes the twang)
The worlds collide
But all that we want is a shady lane...
Of course it's directed by a Spike Jonze
I want a Spike Jonze!
You've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaption of the sequel to your life 0:30
One of the most haunting lyrics ever.
The way to describe an NPC before it was cool
Go to around 0:34, then just as the chorus starts at :41, substitute the chorus for Weezer's "Buddy Holly" starting with the "Ooooo Eee Ooooo, I look just like Buddy Holly..." Trust me, it's a good time.
good imagination and ears..
0:55 seth rogan contemplates on smoking the 3rd joint
Me enamore de esta canción
spike jonze's worst self proclaimed music video ahahaha
Pavement music > Pavement videos.
Music > Videos is something that applies to most great bands/singer/songwriters, I'd even say that the quality of the video and music are inversely proportional.
Few people know that Pavement were years ahead of Google and Tesla in developing driverless car technology
You the island!
My name is Shadylane 🤗
I heard everyone needs you.
oh my god
That's fantastic. Did your parents name you after this song?
This reminds me of cheating on 17 girls at once.
Me lembro que passava no LAB classicos das manhas da antiga MTV.
bom demais. lab era o melhor programa
Pois é Isabella, bons tempos aqueles viu....

More pop whimsy from the original fey indie boy himself, Stephen Malkmus. apparently Mark Ibold workds as a bar tender in some bar and grill in New York nowaadays.
Mark's playing with Sonic Youth, last I heard.
Damn this video is trippy....
i love pavement
There used to be 123 comments.
Everybody wants one!
good music and good clip!
i love...
I fell in Love with you face Ana 💙☺
I want to live on Shady Lane
Oh How fascinating
This is the first Pavement song I ever hear back in 99 :)
Pavement*
I feel as though they make their music videos more entertaining to make up for the fact that their vocals are subpar. But overall, I think I like payment.
You like payment? Don't we all? We are living in a Capitalistic society, you know!
I was busting your chops about a typo you made... you typed "payment" instead of "pavement", I believe. :)
Is this where Garbage got the cherry lips idea from?
How many Pavement music videos have milk in them? I'm at 3 right now...
Yeah, they need like half a drummer, listening to the drums on most of their songs
They could've gotten rid of one of their drummers and paid each other that much more money.
Hands down! :D
There are so many freaking like-worthy comments in the comment section. Seriously. My arm hurts.
But you are.
Not enough black people love white people. We aren't all massive dicks.
DEMAISSSSSSSSSS!
what's up, dawg?! lol, amirite?
anyone I can find a sweater like stephens?
This is fucking class, that riff omg
that dude has no head
No shit lmao
no this is definitely whitepeople-core
I truly admire Spike Jonze.
Has anyone watched Pavement: Slow Century (2002) ?
I fucking love it...
This is in a weird flat key.
Indeed, I think it sounds great this way tho
I would believe you if you were white. <--- A joke.
stephen malkmus is wearing spaghetts outfit
best crossreference in history
Radio Free Roscoe? anybody?
Not Modest Mouse. But this song kind of reminds me of them.
Nah man, Fixies are much much bigger than this one. It's definitely a folding bike but i don't know exactly what kind. It could be an Airnimal like someone said before. Not sure about it. Thanks anyway!
the bike could be an Airnimal, a British folding bike
That would be a fixie bike my friend
