| Description | The song title, “Newark Wilder,” evokes the idea of a place that lacks civilized behavior. Pavement recorded Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain in New York City, which is only 30 minutes away from Newark, New Jersey . As Mark Ibold, the band’s bassist, told Vice Magazine, the song was “pretty of-the-moment, provoked by the latest wilding incidents involving gangs in New York City and New Jersey.” The song utilizes “wilder” in its title to intensify how unrestrained the city’s inhabitants are, which is clearly demonstrated by its violent crime rate being triple the U.S. average. |
| Lyrics | [Verse 1] Lane driver The forces against you, the rain I know everybody wants to put you down but I know everybody's gonna put me down, I want you [Chorus 1] Because I'm rushing to feel you But I won't set you down I don't need to Because I'm rushing to feel you But I won't set you down I don't need to [Verse 2] Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly Don't try, try, try, try, try It's a brand new era, it feels great It's a brand new era but it came too late [Chorus 2] She won't let you know that I need a right to touch her She won't let you wait for me For me to touch you [Bridge] Crowds of the people And voices and steeples and wedding rings Wild are the horses and break-up divorces and separate rooms from [Verse 3] My, my, my, my, my, my, my I love your tinted eyes So bad, so bad, so so bad, so bad [Chorus 3] She won't let me break you out When the picture's cut in Three of us, that is enough And the simple stuff I need Can't you see the stuff I need? Can't you see? Can't you see? Can't you see? Can't you stuff me, stuff me?You might also like |
