Pavement - The Killing Moon Lyrics






Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
You must wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruel you'll take me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
You must wait until
You give yourself to him

Cucumber, cu-cu-cumber, ca-ca-ca-ca-cabbage
Cucumber, cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cabbage
He's a yo-yo man
Always up and down
So take him to the end of his temper

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
You must wait until
You give yourself to him

Pavement The Killing Moon Comments
  1. J.... ....

    Sounds like the Silent Hill 2 theme!

  2. P.... M....

    I for one love how eye doctors charge per eye. Covers are generally bad, but this takes the cake.

  3. S.... G....

    what is this song about though ?

  4. A.... L....

    The chords they use in the chorus ruin the original tension of this song. It must have something mysterious, something longing, though I love Pavement, this feels too bland to me.

  5. S.... L....

    <3333333

  6. H.... J....

    This is a terrible cover job. Sorry Pavement.

  7. R.... A....

    Cucumber, cu-cu-cumber, ca-ca-ca-ca-cabbage
    Cucumber, cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cu-cabbage
    He's a yo-yo man
    Always up and down
    So take him to the end of his temper

  8. D.... B....

    of course had to be stockton <3

  9. k.... m....

    Yes!! 🎶

  10. s.... ....

    Es cierta la onda a Neil Young, muy buen cover, muchas gracias

  11. L.... K....

    I love Pavement and like this cover, but it doesn’t have the eerie mystical quality of the original.

  12. B.... ....

    this is just disgusting

    B.... ....

    I don’t agree but im laughing. Oops. Just got to the cucumber part. I take it back. Agreeing now.

  13. R.... L....

    This is uninspired shit.

    R.... L....

    In your opinion

  14. M.... F....

    Wowie Zowie, good.

  15. M.... ....

    Pavement and Malkmus, in my silly opinion, always wrote and delivered interesting tracks. But having heard this cover, after the Veralines Death and the Maiden, a bigger fan I am.

  16. S.... ....

    I feel like the moon is gonna take me tonight Oo.

  17. S.... L....

    Rarely are covers as good as the original. In this case it's better.

    S.... L....

    Lay off the crack.

  18. D.... J....

    A pretty good cover. The vocals could have been better.

  19. B.... D....

    The Echo & The Bunnymen original was already a brilliant song, but it takes a lyrical genius to add 'cucumber cu-cucumber ca-ca-ca-ca-cabbage', and take this song to a completely new level. Yay for Pavement!

    B.... D....

    That's taken from another Echo and the Bunnymen song... double Echo and the Bunnymen homage.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSs9FCoFJec

    Under a blue moon I saw you
    So soon you'll take me
    Up in your arms
    Too late to beg you or cancel it
    Though I know it must be the killing time
    Unwillingly mine
    Fate
    Up against your will
    Through the thick and thin
    He will wait until
    You give yourself to him
    In starlit nights I saw you
    So cruelly you kissed me
    Your lips a magic world
    Your sky all hung with jewels
    The killing moon
    Will come too soon
    Fate
    Up against your will
    Through the thick and thin
    He will wait until
    You give yourself to him
    Under a blue moon I saw you
    So soon you'll take me
    Up in your arms
    Too late to beg you or cancel it
    Though I know it must be the killing time
    Unwillingly mine
    Fate
    Up against your will
    Through the thick and thin
    He will wait until
    You give yourself to him

    D.... D....

    hey man great comment. i just realised thats how i feel too.

    D.... D....

    Guess you just didn't get it

    D.... D....

    Drew: I can only comment generally. In my experience, Love/Hate is the way it rolls. I'm giving you my advice (though you didn't ask). Just keep thinking critically like you already do, you handsome beast. xo

  33. N.... ....

  36. O.... z....

    Incredible guitar solo at 1:38 with those crazy little shouts!

  37. V.... C....

    Uno de los mejores cover que he escuchado.

  38. 2.... ....

    Pavement is so underrated

    2.... ....

    I thought it was Reading in 1992?

    Pavement was underused, though, then again, they knew that...

    2.... ....

    the original band did it better

    2.... ....

    They might be overrated, actually.

    2.... ....

    Pavement iz a fuck!ng awesome band

    2.... ....

    I disagree. Maybe to the general populace, but not to those interested in the indie side of things.

  39. R.... D....

    I like the pro-vegetable lifestyle they are endorsing here.

    R.... D....

    Pity the hapless carrot.

    R.... D....

    Oh. You're no fun anymore.

    R.... D....

    i love it too robert
