Sonic Youth - A Thousand Leaves Lyrics
Sonic Youth - Contre Le Sexisme Lyrics
Hey describe
Describe the touch to you
No, it's the thought
It's warm and yellow and has a ruffle
Sonic Youth - Female Mechanic Now on Duty Lyrics
I wanna shut you down
Like your sight and sound
I wanna spin you 'round
Till you're underground
Sonic Youth - French Tickler Lyrics
Free time, free time
I have got it, gonna get me some
Free time, free time
I would spend it, forever captivated
Sonic Youth - Heather Angel Lyrics
Never gonna tell you do it
A world below
Heather Angel, you are somewhere
Often ashore
Sonic Youth - Hoarfrost Lyrics
I put my foot deep in the tracks that you made
Walked behind you off into the wood
"We'll know where when we get there", you said
And we both knew we would
Sonic Youth - Karen Koltrane Lyrics
Karen's moving out
Out into the sky
Karen trips on a cloud
Sets down, the stars in her eyes
Sonic Youth - Snare, Girl Lyrics
I'm here for you, can't you see what I'm doin'?
I bring you news from the kingdom of disciples in ruin
Behold a child, has just been born into a life
Of secrets sworn, hold out your hands
Sonic Youth - Sunday Lyrics
Sunday comes alone again
A perfect day for a quiet friend
And you, you will set it free
Sonic Youth - Wildflower Soul Lyrics
Sing your children
Your children song
Sing your child love
Love is on
