"With Pavement it's the sound and feel that matter, not the words or themes. Quoting lyrics to get to the heart of Pavement is misguided. Go online and print some out and you'll see that, taken on their own, they're generally meaningless. Read the track-by-track notes [Malkumus] prepared for Melody Maker at the time of the record's release and it's clear just how unknowable these songs are."
