Beck : Guero
Keep on, brother, keep on...
There are some who believe that, in pop music, wilful eclecticism is a good thing. That hopping from style to style is the way to make great records. These people are wrong. Eclecticism is the enemy of pop music. Stylistic magpies do not make great records, experimentalism is not a good thing (experiments are for nerds), bands should never try to branch out and ‘explore new directions’...

Beck - Guero Lyrics
Beck - E-pro Lyrics
See me comin' to town with my soul
Straight down out of the world with my fingers
Holdin' onto the devil I know
All my troubles'll hang on your trigger
Beck - Rental Car Lyrics
Hey now, girl, what's the matter with me?
We're on a back road, driving to sea
Straight as a razor, kicking up dust
Digging through ditches and falling to rust
Beck - Farewell Ride Lyrics
Two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line
Carrying me to my burying ground
Beck - Go It Alone Lyrics
I'm cominâ over, see me down at the station
By the lane with my hands in my pocket
Jinglin' a wish coin that I stole from a fountain
That was drownin' all the cares in the world
Beck - Scarecrow Lyrics
Walking to the other side
With the Devil trying to take my mind
And my soul's just a silhouette
On the ashes of a cigarette
Beck - Broken Drum Lyrics
I see you there
Long black hair
Your eyes just stare
Your mind is turning
Beck - Hell Yes Lyrics
Looking for my place on assembly lines
Fake prizes risin' out of the bomb holes
Skeleton boys hyped up on purple
Smoke rings blow from across the disco
Beck - Earthquake Weather Lyrics
Space ships can't tame the jungle
And I feel like I'm giving in
We've been drivin' through a desert
Looking for a life to call our own
Beck - Black Tambourine Lyrics
Black cards in effigy
We sing the song that was grievin'
All dressed like vagabonds
Sharks smell the blood that I'm bleedin'
Beck - Missing Lyrics
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Beck - Girl Lyrics
I saw her, yeah I saw her with her black tongue tied
Round the roses
Fist pounding on a vending machine
Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger
Beck - Qué Onda Guero Lyrics
Here comes the vegetable man in the
Vegetable van with the horn that's honking
Like a mariachi band in the middle of the street
People gather around put a dollar in the can
Beck - Emergency Exit Lyrics
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Fourteen miles away from a landfill grave
Never pawned my watch and chain
