Biography:
Silver Jews was an American indie rock band from New York City. The band's earliest incarnation was the college band Ectoslavia, formed by future Pavement founders Bob Nastanovich, Stephen Malkmus and frontman David Berman at the University of Virginia in 1989. An exercise in joyous noise, the band disbanded after graduation and the three friends moved to New York to take up various jobs - Nastanovich, a bus driver, and Berman and Malkmus, art museum security guards.

Self-Ignition
when noted G* you can play this little lick:
C Am
Oh self ignition,
F G*
i can feel her suitcase sensing mine
C Am
she was her own permission,
F G*
miss nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine nine nine nine
Am C Am C (chords are half time)
charles james sofa, and a household truce
G G
and there every wednesday night beneath the counter booth
Dm F C G
i woke up in a house i could understand
Dm F C G
the descendants of defendants were making demands.
C Am
gently thinking backwards
F G*
on the psychedelic promises god made to me in the dark
C Am
some of these kids don't have words
F G*
they're as helpless as parakeets in a park
C Am C Am (chords are half time)
i couldn't believe it, when i saw that you wrote
G G
that a burning passenger shouldn't ruin the boat
Dm F C G
if dreams are your body telling you it's confused
Dm F C G
then i've got a dream i think you can use
C Am
all lace and fiction
F G*
in the lawless rooms where you finally lost your health
C Am
i read the evening edition
F G*
and the pumpkin on the porch is trying to heal itself
Am C Am C (same as above)
i don't like magic, and i don't like tricks
G G
having a helluvah time believing we exist
Dm F C G
the mailman dreams he's paul revere
Dm F C G
he wants the whole town to buy him a beer
(no chords)
and i have to remember that your not wanting me
doesn't make me any less here
have fun, gorb.
