Sonic Youth - The Sprawl Lyrics

83-90 SY. nothing better

Lo más de lo más,la excelencia indie rock, hecha música, hay algo + cool? NO

Day dream nation was and still is the unconscious nation.Its a bit more alive and more conscious these days but it is still packed with zombies wall to wall

I quoted this song in my thesis lol

Cool, it's about what may I ask

How badass is that.

To the extent that I wear skirts and cheap nylon slips
I've gone native
I wanted to know the exact dimension of hell
Does this sound simple?
Fuck you, are you for sale?
Does 'fuck you' sound simple enough?
This was the only part that turned me on
But he was candy all over

Come on down to the store
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more
Come on down to the store
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more
Come on down to the store
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more
Come on down to the store
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more

I grew up in a shotgun row
Sliding down the hill
Out front were the big machines
Steel and rusty now, I guess
Out back was the river
And that big sign down the road
That's where it all started

Come on down to the store
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more
Come on down to the store
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more
Come on down to the store
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more
You can buy some more, more, more, more

Kim Gordon ❤️❤️❤️

Typical Sonic Youth. Seemingly simple song, but sounds just right. Musicians' ears

Simple beautiful hardcore. This album has the most hardcore sensibilities over any of the others. Sister yes but Steve really let the punk rock out in Daydream. Long live Thurston and Lee for the revolutionary guitar works but we all can not deny Steve is the straw that stirs the drink in the band.

es war ein fehler, ich vertraute meinem vater. die bundesrepublik deutschland hat es mir verziehen - das war nicht einfach, emotional eine erdbeben

The sky above the port was the colour of a TV tuned to a dead channel

Esoteric a.f.

Rock on space cowboy

love that book.

I'm currently writing a thesis for a physics degree. There's a section about finding the area/volume/hypervolume etc. of a type of distribution. In the intro to this section, I'm quoting Kim:

"I wanted to know the exact dimensions of hell/
Does this sound simple?"

Obviously can't include the "fuck you" lol

I'm really trying to get into Sonic Youth so what kind of music genre should I expect? some people are saying they were a punk band and that's what is confusing me I'm not getting any punk vibes

noise rock, expect dissonance and noiseeee.

This definitely has all the punk vibes

Love sonic youth...can't rationalize buying a Honda tho

A Revolutionary band!

Some parts in the outro use similar notes from Dirty Boots

Same tuning.

Such a divine tune

The wicked people of this world won't stop until our world is a mall... Come on down to the store!! We can buy us some MORE MORE MORE MORE........

Life changing brilliance

Does 'fuck you' sound simple enough?

Pretty sure this is my favorite sonic youth song. But then again...

What a great tune! Thanks Kim Gordon!

My most favorite Sonic Youth song however the one from the basement is the best

Ahh help me! I'm turning into a hipster! I'm only listening to edgy indie music!

The outro makes me cry.

Sonic youths magnum opus

A song by one of my favourite bands based on my favourite book. This is so damn awesome.

DON'T like Sonic Youth,..??? Well FUCK YOU !!!

god damn Sonic Youth is great for this song alone. KG rules.

aaah, good ole sonic youth never get old

I want a jazz/bossa nova band recreate the ending of this song with just drums, horns, guitar, and flutes. Something like Nelson Angelo and Joyce Moreno

pelo jeito tu é do brasil, com capa do milton e tudo mais. Puts, ia ser um sonho isso que cê falou, mas daria uma outra cara pra esse final, talvez, acho que criaria uma outra atmosfera esses instrumentos, com uma piração jazzistica um tanto obvia, talvez.

se é que podemos botar jazz e obvio na msm frase hahaha

intense drone - urban prophets

this song is like.. dang.

I also wanted to know the exact dimensions of Hell.

best song of sonic youth

tame haut thy noisen

This song is like dystopian fiction, somehow it conveys a whole narrative

The enTire album is kind of a cyberpunk concept album.

This song is based of a series of novels by William Gibson including Neuromancer and Mona Lisa Overdrive. Their song Pattern Recognition is also based off a William Gibson Novel.

I love the fever dream that is the second half.

Does this sound simple?
Fuck you!!!!

giuliana bellusci are you for sale?

i love it from 4:49, best part!

I love this song so much! It gives me incredible emotions!

Still quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever heard.

long live rock n roll

Sexy voice ;)

My favorite Sonic Youth song (along with "Tunic.") The riff is fucking infectious, I haven't been able to get it out of my head for months!

Brilliant ;-)

I have seen Sonic Youth live once and it was very kool...They had that these massive light boards pointing at the audience, on the left and right sides of the stage, very bright warm lights,

i love you, Kim

Maybe I am crazy for saying this, the noise section at the ending is beyond beautiful it sounds so divine! It's strangely soulful at parts, but it's all kind of shrouded by this thick fog of noise and overheated amps of dissonant guitars bleeding into one another. Sometimes the ending for me conjures images of a dystopian city being washed up and enveloped in a sea of flames, waste, and toxic fuels, the guitars sound like the roaring engines of cars swerving off highways under the floodlight of fading stars, violently and randomly clashing into one another, and being torn to shreds - creating ultimately this disorentiating hypnotic loop of explosions the same image overlapping itself again and again at a dangerously slow rate of time. But you can still hear this heavenly melody gracefully dancing upon the clouds in the background yet keeping all the destruction intact without completely erasing its form. as the song keeps going, slowly the melody in the back grows closer and closer to the foreground of the painting (camera) while the surface of noise begins to pull back and recede into the curtains of a rainstorm

That part makes me dream like crazy

it's awesome, but i like more the part in the middle of total trash. btw, both are masterpieces

I know what you mean but I just can't take the time to articulate lol

Sonic youth really

paint a picture!

Yesss plus you profile pic is amazing! Sonic Youth + Clube da Esquina

her voice is sooo sexy

The "steel and rusty now I guess, out back was the river" is the best part

kim Gordon rocks

The exact dimensions of hell. 

Best lyric. A good snappy comeback if someone doubts your decision-making skills.

Good band name

I was blasting this song in my room the other night, and low and behold my sister came in, telling me to "turn off that noise, I'm trying to sleep!" What a glorious moment 'twas.

"Are you for sale? Does fuck you sound simple enough?" Damn that's a great lyric.

I also love that line, but really, it could've backfired - the guy only had to answer, "Yeah, that's what I meant!"

Gets better every time I listen to it.

how good can this get?

I bought this album out of a box on the floor at Tower Records in NYC when it was hot off the press. Nothing like it !
