Sonic Youth - Animals - lyrics

Talkin' to a punker priest
Just doggin' the breeze
Bout bein' in a tree
(he says it's free now)
Along comes Mary Christ
Skatin' light on ice
Says let's go on high
(later, priestoid)
Gotta go, I got a date now
Yeah I know, shall not be late now
Possessed by X-ray eyes
Her spirits flies
Into my lies
(let's burn em out now) ??
Wraps my head in skin
Says now I'm in
Dig the candy sin
(yeh spit it out now)
Every time she sings that low song
Every time I know I'm right/wrong
Angel in a devil skirt
Buys me a shirt
Says I hope you like
(like what now)
Hope, I hope you like
Like you like yr hope
With the tightest rope
(i see, i know)
Here we go, I been waiting so long
Yeah I know, for Mary to come along
Talkin' to a punker priest
Just doggin' the breeze
Bout bein' in a tree
(he says it's free now)
Along comes Mary Christ
Skatin' light on ice
Says "let's go on high"
(later, priestoid!)
Gotta go, I got a date now
Yeah I know, shall not be late now
Possessed by X-ray eyes
Her spirits flies
Into my lies
(let's burn em out now)
Angel in a devil skirt
Buys me a shirt
Says I hope you like
(spit it out now)
Here we go, been waitin' so long
Yeah I know, for Mary to come along

She's in a bad mood
But i won't fall for it

Sonic Youth - Androgynous Mind - lyrics

[thurston]
Hey sad angel walks, and he talks like a girl
Out trying to think why it stinks, hes not a girl
Now hes kicked in the gut, they *****ed him up, just enough
They got me down on my knees, I kiss his ring, God is love
Androgynous mind, androgynous mind
Androgynous mind, androgynous mind
Androgynous mind, androgynous mind
Hey hey are you gay? are you god?
My brains a bomb, to turn you on
Everything is all right
God is gay, and you were right
Androgynous mind, androgynous mind
Androgynous mind, androgynous mind
Androgynous mind, androgynous mind
Hey hey its okay, hey hey its okay (x4)
Hey hey its okay, hey its okay (x5)
Hey hey its okay, hey hey its okay (x6)
Aaaaaaaawwwooooooowwwaaaaaaaooo
God said its all right, for you to fight
To free yr mind
Whose side are you on?
Like a bomb, yr free tonite
Androgynous mind, androgynous mind
Androgynous mind, androgynous mind
Androgynous mind, androgynous mind
Hey hey its okay, hey hey its okay (x4)
Hey hey its okay, hey its okay (x5)
Hey hey

Sonic Youth - Bee-bee's Song - lyrics

1997, suburbia soundtrack, geffen
[kim]
In my head
Head
Im really tall
My eyes are big
Not small
Hair flows down
My back
Down the street
Dont look back
In my heart
Heart
Im a star
Bigger then
Your guitar
Wish I may
Wish I might
Be with you
Tonight
In my eye
Eye
Im really shocked
Im not
A cul-de-sac
In my heart
Your the star
Looking for
A candy car
Wish I may
Wish I might
Come undone
Just for fun
I was wondering if you ever
Think of me maybe
If you want me tell me in honest
I will meet you maybe
In my eye
Eye
I really shocked
Im not
A last resort
Daylight breaks
An ugly site
Its me
Is that right?
I wish
I might
Come undone
Just for fun
I was wondering if you ever
Think of me maybe
If you want me tell me in honest
I will meet you maybe
I was wondering if you ever
Think of me maybe
If you want me tell me in honest
I will meet you maybe

---------------------
She's in a bad mood
But I won't fall for it
I believe all her lies
But I can't fall for it
She's in a bad mood
But i won't fall for it
I believe all her lies
But i can't fall for it

Sonic Youth - Beauty Lies In The Eye - lyrics

[kim]
Theres something in the air there
Makes you go insane
Brings you back to me
Its been so long
All that I have to do
Is live along
Its coming coming down
Over me
Do you want to see
The explosions in my eye
Do you want to see
The reflection of
How we used to be
Beauty lies
In the eyes of anothers dreams
Beauty lies
Lost in anothers dream
Its coming coming down
Over me
Do you want to see
The explosions in my eye
Do you want to see
The reflection of
How it used to be
Hey baby
Hey sweetheart
Hey fox come here
Hey beautiful
Come here sugar

Sonic Youth - (I Got A) Catholic Block - lyrics

[Thurston]
I got a catholic block
inside my head
i let it go to work
bring it all back home
it serves you right
and i can motor down
you got to earn your freedom
get it on my own
i just live forever
there just is no end
i just trust the oppression
like i trust your friends
i got a catholic block
inside my head
i let it play around
iron to gold
come back to me awhile
i got a catholic block it's around my head
i got a catholic block it's blood orange red
i got a catholic block do you like to *****?
i got a catholic block i guess i'm out of luck

Sonic Youth - 'cross The Breeze - lyrics

[kim]
Lets go walking on the water
Come all the way please
I wanna know
Should I stay or go?
No need to be scared
Lets jump into the day
I wanna know
I think I oughta go
Close your eyes and make believe
You can do whatever you please
I wanna know
I think I better go
Lets go walkin on water
Now you think Im satans daughter
I wanna know
Please let me go!
Just too quick
Now I think Im gonna be sick
I wanna know
Should I stay or go?
Im trying for the future
Its funny that way
I wanna know

I took a look into the hate
It made me feel very up to date
I wanna know
Should I stay or go?
Hold me tight, down on my knees
So I dont go burning cross the breeze
I wanna know
I wanna know!
I wanna know
Should I stay or go?
Burning cross the breeze
Burning cross the breeze
Blowing cross the breeze

Sonic Youth - 100% - lyrics

[thurston]
I can never forget you - the way you rock the girls
They move a world and love you - a blast in the underworld
I stick a knife in my head - thinking bout your eyes
But now that you been shot dead - Ive got a new surprise
I been waitin for you just to say
Hes off to check his mind
But all I know is you got no money
But thats got nothing to do with a good time
Can you forgive the boy who - shot you in the head
Or should you get a gun and - go and get revenge?
A 100% of my love - up to you true star
Its hard to believe you took off - I always thought youd go far
But Ive been around the world a million times
And all you men are slime
Its the gun to my head, goodbye I am dead
Wastewood rockers is time for cryin, hey!
