Sonic Youthis an experimental rockgroup formed in New York City in 1981. They are generally seen as one of the leading innovators of contemporary rock music. In their early career Sonic Youth were associated with the no waveart and music scene in New York City, but have outlasted most associated bands. Initially inspired by the noise experimentationof Glenn Brancaand The Velvet Undergroundand the heavy garage rockof The Stooges, they are known for using a variety of unorthodox guitar tunings, and for applying screwdrivers, drumsticks or other preparations to guitars to alter the instruments timbre. Members of the band have released books of poetry and prose (a beatnik influence is evident in both their writing and lyrics), produced, written and performed in films (such as "1991: The Year Punk Broke", "Perfect Partner", "(this is known as) the blues scale" and "last days").

Sonic Youth
Talkin' to a punker priest
Just doggin' the breeze
Bout bein' in a tree
(he says it's free now)
Along comes Mary Christ
Skatin' light on ice
Says let's go on high
(later, priestoid)
Gotta go, I got a date now
Yeah I know, shall not be late now
Possessed by X-ray eyes
Her spirits flies
Into my lies
(let's burn em out now) ??
Wraps my head in skin
Says now I'm in
Dig the candy sin
(yeh spit it out now)
Every time she sings that low song
Every time I know I'm right/wrong
Angel in a devil skirt
Buys me a shirt
Says I hope you like
(like what now)
Hope, I hope you like
Like you like yr hope
With the tightest rope
(i see, i know)
Here we go, I been waiting so long
Yeah I know, for Mary to come along
Talkin' to a punker priest
Just doggin' the breeze
Bout bein' in a tree
(he says it's free now)
Along comes Mary Christ
Skatin' light on ice
Says "let's go on high"
(later, priestoid!)
Gotta go, I got a date now
Yeah I know, shall not be late now
Possessed by X-ray eyes
Her spirits flies
Into my lies
(let's burn em out now)
Angel in a devil skirt
Buys me a shirt
Says I hope you like
(spit it out now)
Here we go, been waitin' so long
Yeah I know, for Mary to come along
