Beck - Odelay: Wikipedia Album Entry

Odelay is the second major-label studio album (and fourth album overall) recorded by alternative rock artist Beck, originally released June 18, 1996. After the mainstream success of "Loser", Odelay featured several hit singles, including "Where It's At", "Devils Haircut," and "The New Pollution." The album peaked at #16 on the Billboard 200 chart and eventually sold over 2 million copies in the United States. It was also Beck's first hit album in the United Kingdom, making #17; it has since gone platinum in the UK.

On January 29, 2008, Odelay was reissued as a two-disc package featuring a number of bonus tracks, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the album's original release. As of July 2008, the album has sold 2.3 million copies in the United States.

Beck - The New Pollution Lyrics

She's got cigarette on each arm
She's got the Lilly-white cavity crazes
She's got a carburetor tied to the moon
Pink eyes looking to the food of the ages

Beck - Readymade Lyrics

An open road where I can breathe
Where the lowest low is callin' to me
I can pull myself back up, back down
Stuck together like a readymade

Beck - Ramshackle Lyrics

You've been so long
Your blind eyes are gone
Your old bones are on their own
So take off your coat

Beck - Novacane Lyrics

Knock it baby

Keep on truckin' like a Novacane hurricane
Low static on the paranoid shortwave

Beck - Minus Lyrics

The last survivor of a boiled crown
Another casualty with the casual frown
The janitor vandals they bark in your face
Juveniles with the piles and paste

{(Ahh)
Who are the big one?}

You only got one finger left

Beck - Jack-ass Lyrics

I been drifting along in the same stale shoes
Loose ends tying the noose in the back of my mind
If you thought that you were making your way
To where the puzzles and pagans lay

More Beck - Jack-ass Lyrics

Beck - Hotwax Lyrics

It takes a backwash man to sing a backwash soul
Like a fryin' pan when the fire's gone
Drivin' my pig while the bands takin' pictures in the grass
And my radio's smashed

Beck - Devil's Haircut Lyrics

Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting
Temperature's dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leprous faces

Beck - Derelict Lyrics

I dropped my anchor in the dead of night
Unpacked my suitcase and threw it away
I fell asleep in the funeral fire
I gave my clothes to the police man

More Beck - Derelict Lyrics

Beck - Where It's At Lyrics

There's a destination, a little up the road
From the habitations and the towns we know
A place we saw the lights turn low
The jig-saw jazz and the get-fresh flow

Beck - Sissyneck Lyrics

I don't need no wheels
I don't need no gasoline
'Cause the wind that is blowin'
Is blowin' like a smoke machine
