Sonic Youth - C.B. Lyrics
Claude Bessy: I'm the emcee,um... so I'm supposed to be saying let's hear it for Sonic Youth,all the way from the states.Except uh... actually I'd like about two minutesof your attention.Shut your *****ing face, I want just two minutes of your attention,I have a very interesting little story to tell you.Two minutes, not very long, right?And it's a...it's a very instructive little story.Um... Sonic Youth, um, are a band.. shh shh shh...Uh, they're about to put out a record in this country except theirrecord company has decided to put a no-no on the record.Because of, uh... the cover which is offending some people atRough Trade. And now, it's not.. I mean it's not very offensivecover, it's uh, it's got a ***** lady, a ***** Puerto Rican lady, it'snot very obscene, she's not doing anything weird.Uh... it has nothing to do with.. you know, in this day of AIDS, anuh.. and [?] and all that shit, uh, you would think the majoralternative record company would have better things to do thanworry about the shape of our bodies. So, I thought I'd let youknow, uh, so... um... next time you go and buy a record, and youthink you're really alternative and groovy, and uh, everybody isin... is into the alternative charts, remember it's just like the otherside except it's a bit, a bit stranger, you know... but just remember,it's not uh... there's no *****ing culture there, you know.There's just as much censorship among people our age, or youknow.. than anyone else.Thurston: We'd like to thank Claude for that delightful speech.This song is called The Green Light. It's about green love.
