Immune to context or fashion

Via cure.com on remastered vinyl:

Comments Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai: “Disintegration by The Cure is one of the greatest records of all time. It has the feel that only a tiny amount of albums have, that it exists completely in its own universe, immune to context or fashion. I literally cannot imagine the band members in a room playing these songs for the first time, its as if they've always been there. From stunning opener “Plainsong” through to “Untitled”, it is unrelentingly beautiful and achingly sad. Disintegration is a simply wonderful record.”

What happened to streaking?

Mogwai, I'm Jim Morrison, please don't refer to me as the Lizard King -from "Burning"

Adult

Teenage Wastebasket by Beck Hansen


She is a teenage wastebasket
Paddling up the river in a casket
Try and experience everything at least once
And life is a commercial for being fucked up

I know she's not saying much
She's got class, she's got a crush
Socks don't matter
Teeth are turning green
Opinions are forming

Ah ooh wa ooh

Her mother is proud to be dead
Her dad is breakdancing underneath the bed
She's got lipstick scrawled across her forehead
Saying "PLEASE DESTROY ME"

Ah ooh wa ooh

I'll Try Anything, Once

Ten decisions shape your life,
you'll be aware of 5 about,
7 ways to go through school,
either you're noticed or left out,
7 ways to get ahead,
7 reasons to drop out,
when i said ' I can see me in your eyes',
you said 'I can see you in my bed',
that's not just friendship that's romance too,
you like music we can dance to,

Sit me down,
Shut me up,
i'll calm down,
and i'll get along with you,

There is a time when we all fail,
some people take it pretty well,
some take it all out on themselves,
some they just take it out on friends,
oh everybody plays the game,
and if you don't you're called insane,

Don't don't don't don't it's not safe no more,
i've got to see you one more time,
soon you were born,
in 1984,

Sit me down,
shut me up,
i'll calm down,
and i'll get along with you,

Everybody was well dressed,
and everybody was a mess,
6 things without fail you must do,
so that your woman loves just you,
oh all the girls played mental games,
and all the guys were dressed the same,

Why not try it all,
if you only remember it once,
oooh ooooooh,

Sit me down,
shut me up,
i'll calm down,
and i'll get along with you,

The Overachievers -Liars

I bought a house with you
We settled down with cats
There wasn't much to do,
so we just sat and watched the TV
and smoked weed

We drove a bio-car
cuz we all love the earth
It didn't get us far
and always sounded like a walrus
With ulcers

LA!
LA!

We snuffed out Malibu
so we could see the stars
and when the sun fell off
we drove back slowly listening to Japanther
The Cactus!

LA!
LA!

Then once we had enough
we gave up on our jobs
And bought back all our time
To spend it walking in the forest
The Forest

LA!
LA!

I bought a house with you
We settled down with cats
There wasn't much to do,
so we just sat and watched the TV
