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").

Female Mechanic Now On Duty Lyrics
Sonic Youth
I wanna shut you down
Love yr. sight and sound
I wanna spin you round, till yr. underground
I wanna strip you down
Till you feel the round
I wanna feel your shine
I wanna waste some time
I wanna paint my face
Like a model out of place
Cause Im supposed to dare
The machine will tear
Ill throw up sometime
And then youll be mine
I wanna serve you down
While my mind is on the ground
I wanna move your switch
Make you go quish
My desiring machine
Yeah its made pretty clean
Now Ill turn the dial
And Ill put you ina pile
Modern women cry
Modern women dont cry
Cry dont cry
You hut me with your lie
Touch the fire in the rain and
See the children
Stop their play and
Look for shelter
In the garden of their
Make believe and i
I believe
Perfection is a
I can see what youre going thru but
I cant melt my head to what youre
Whisked away to light the bomb a
Thousand leaves are left to stay and...
