Sonic Youth : Murray Street
...pretty and rather ineffectual halfway-house of an album...
The omens are not good. Described as an "operetta of place", involving such punk rock instruments as the dilruba and sarangi, and featuring, for the first time in a fully collaborative role, Jim O'Rourke - who splits his time between off-kilter pop genius and head-wrecking electronica - 'Murray Street' (part of a trilogy exploring Lower Manhattan's cultural...

Sonic Youth - Murray Street Lyrics
Sonic Youth - The Empty Page Lyrics
These are the words
But not the truth
God bless them all
When they speak to you
Sonic Youth - Disconnection Notice Lyrics
Did you get your disconnection notice?
Mine came in the mail today
They seem to think I'm disconnected
Don't think I know what to read or write or say
Sonic Youth - Rain On Tin Lyrics
We all hope
To signal kin
Rays of gold
Now rain on tin
Sonic Youth - Karen Revisited Lyrics
Heard your name the other day
It's been a long long time
Ancient history some would say
Another state of mind
Sonic Youth - Radical Adults Lick Godhead Style Lyrics
Send the moon thru the skylight
And bells together outrageously
Noiseball, flirtatious example
An' bless her soul to further degree
Sonic Youth - Plastic Sun Lyrics
Plastic girl with plastic gun
Plastic smile under plastic sun
You burn my heart with your frigid stare
Rip me off with your greasy hair
Sonic Youth - Sympathy for the Strawberry Lyrics
THESE ARE THE WORDS
BUT NOT THE TRUTH
GOD BLESS THEM ALL
WHEN THEY SPEAK TO YOU
