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.

[Verse 1]
C F
Paraphrased, can't be quoted, it's hard to say
C F
Paralyzed, doesn't move it just blinks it's eyes
C F
Paranoid, just another trap to avoid
C F
Parallel, never crosses, goes straight to hell
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G
It's child-like persuading, it's night-time lactating, It's pre-season training
D A#
Object!
G
A doorman's composure, a patient's disclosure, impostor's exposure
F A#
Subject!

[Verse 2]
C F
Understood, no confession, you said it good
C F
Undeclared, doesn't know if it's live or dead
C F
Undesired, cannot see that it's charms expired
C F
Unconcerned, when its interest can't be returned
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
It's christened, the entry. It's paid off, the sentry. It's here, evidently
D A#
Object!
G
An actor portraying, A cleric obeying, Informer betraying
F A#
Subject!

Sometimes my thoughts are infrequent explosions

Sometimes my speech recalls moments of violence

Sometimes I can't be repeated, I can't be paraphrased. No!
