Goodbye 20th century and goodbye career, sadly, one suspects. Nowadays, Sonic Youth are more alluded to than listened to and it's unlikely that this collection of interpretations of works by composers ranging from John Cage to Cornelius Cardew will reinflame their popularity.

Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse Lyrics
Sonic Youth - i love you golden blue Lyrics
Dead boy stares
Strange to meet you
Dead boy cares
So great to see you
Sonic Youth - Paper Cup Exit Lyrics
Skimmin' the tops of tall trees
Through the clear light of free speech
A sudden memory disease
Claims the air all around me
Sonic Youth - New Hampshire Lyrics
Trace paper fly onward
Trace paper fly onward
Wake, city's too high
City's too high-up
Sonic Youth - Dude Ranch Nurse Lyrics
Keep on runnin' in the dark
Dude ranch dream is fallin' apart
Stolen kisses, let's pretend my friend
You play sick and I will mend
Sonic Youth - Stones Lyrics
Lights on the stones on backed up drain
What lovers list on languid stain
We've come together to gather stars
Shooting up stones our powdered hearts
Sonic Youth - Mariah Carey and the Arthur Doyle Hand Cream Lyrics
Your bounce to the ounce makes us want to pounce
You're just being totally perfect
On Larry King, you said you weren't tired
Time to put to bed the competitive edge

Sonic Youth - Dripping Dream Lyrics
Single fold sick insert design in junk
The grocery bag sleeve all the colors drunk
Texts of confusion and joy
Pink plastic pressing for bratfink
Sonic Youth - Unmade Bed Lyrics
Look who's come back home again
Loser looking for his lucky break
This time he says he just needs a friend
Ain't on the run, he ain't on the take
Sonic Youth - Pattern Recognition Lyrics
I'm a cool hunter making you my way
Like a brand name you'll replay
I will know you, I won't show you
Yeah, yeah
Sonic Youth - Peace Attack Lyrics
3 Feb 03 peace
Peace attack
Early book whistlin'
