Biography:
Parquet Courts is a band from New York City. At the center of the group is A. Savage, who at this point is known for his collaborations with projects like Fergus & Geronimo, Teenage Cool Kids and Wiccans. Savage is joined by three other musicians (“three quarters Texans and three quarters Pisces”) and describes the bands’ debut release as THE FALL meets NEIL YOUNG. On the band’s debut release, “American Specialties”, this all makes sense.

Ah moonlight, it's hard to believe it, and it's harder to need it but so easily wanted
Db
Pretty machines, expensive magazines, I've been tricked into buying quite a number of things yeah;
G# D#
Bullshit and dreams, urban ease, it means, I always leave taunted
A#
And, you think you're a modern person, you think that you can ignore
G#
silent isolation. My emancipation's in the same place you get yours
D# A# G# Db G# (D#)
Oh whiskey sipped supinely while my secrets escape. In the skyline of hell there are no fire escapes.
( D# - Db - G# - D# - ) x1
D# Db G# D#
Punk songs, I thought that they were different and I thought that they could end it. No, no it was a deception.
Db
Well the number of tears, and the number of beers were dried out and uncounted for a number of years, but
G# D#
these days it seems that my window was just a reflection.
A#
Still, you think that you're not a servant, you think that you can avoid
G#
stylish institution, worshiping illusion. Things you thought you could destroy.
D# A# G# Db G# (D#)
Oh, crowded, loud and crimson was my view from the pit. I was wild, I was weird, I was shackled to it.

Wartime, it's so easy the fourth time, but on this side of the shoreline we've already recovered.
Db
Pretty machines, expensive routines, are clouding and obstructing quite a number of things.
G# D#
Believe me, it's harder to feel these days. It's harder to suffer.
A#
And, you think you're a modern person, think you can watch something change
G#
and move on without ya. Side by side with doubt ya listen to the world exchange
D# A# G# Db G# D#
conversation starters over various meats in the skyline of hell, where the tired retreat.
