Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair
Do you think it's gonna make him change?
"I'm just a boy with a new haircut"
And that's a pretty nice haircut
Charge it like a puzzle,
Hit me wearin' muzzles
Hesitate to die, look around, around,
The second drummer's drowned
His telephone is found
Music scene is crazy,
Bands start up each and every day
I saw another one just the other day
A special new band
I remember lying
I don't remember lies
I don't remember what
But I don't care,
I care,
I really don't care
Did you see the drummer's hair?
Advertising looks and chops a must
No big hair!
Songs mean a lot
When songs are bought
And so are you
Bitch, rant down to the practice room
Attention and fame so
Career, career, career
Do you think it's gonna make him change?
"I'm just a boy with a new haircut"
And that's a pretty nice haircut
Charge it like a puzzle,
Hit me wearin' muzzles
Hesitate to die, look around, around,
The second drummer's drowned
His telephone is found
Music scene is crazy,
Bands start up each and every day
I saw another one just the other day
A special new band
I remember lying
I don't remember lies
I don't remember what
But I don't care,
I care,
I really don't care
Did you see the drummer's hair?
Advertising looks and chops a must
No big hair!
Songs mean a lot
When songs are bought
And so are you
Bitch, rant down to the practice room
Attention and fame so
Career, career, career

"darlin' don't you go and cut your hair
do you think it's gonna make him change?"
It's basically saying to don't change for the record company, it's not they're going to change and treat you any better.
Silent Kit= the band is warming up/practicing, just getting started.
Cut Yr Hair= the band is sort of making it, dealing with corporate rock, etc.
Range Life= band's getting bitter
Fillmore Jive= the band is now passe and no one gets them anymore.
Obviously not all the songs fit in to this theme, and even the songs I mentioned don't fully fit. But that's the Pavement way.
Okay let me lay it out:
Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair
Do you think it's gonna make him change?
I'm just a boy with a new haircut
And that's a pretty nice haircut
Charts are like a puzzle, hitmen wearin' muzzles
Hesitate ya die, look around, around, the second drummer drowned
His telephone is found
Music scene's crazy, bands start up each and every day
I saw another one just the other day
A special new band
I dont remember lying
I don't remember a line
I don't remember a word but I don't care, I care, I really don't care
Did you see the drummer's hair?
Advertiser looks and chops a must
No big hair!!
Songs mean a lot
When songs are bought
And so are you
[This way] down to the practice room
Pretention and fame's a career, career, career, career, Korea, Korea
Only part I'm not quite sure of is what he's yelling right after "And so are you".
