1) Spoon is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas. The band was formed in late 1993 by lead singer/guitarist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno. Current members also include: Eric Harvey (keyboard, guitar, percussion, backing vocals) and Rob Pope (bass, backing vocals - replaced Joshua Zarbo in 2007).
After releasing their debut LP Telephono on Matador Records, the band signed with Elektra in 1998, but the contract was dropped soon after the band released A Series of Sneaks. In response the band released a two-song single titled The Agony of Laffitte (referring to Elektra A&R man Ron Laffitte). Eventually they signed to Merge Records.
Spoon has been met with widespread critical acclaim. Girls Can Tell, released in 2001, sold more copies than both their previous releases combined. Kill the Moonlight accomplished the same feat a year later. Gimme Fiction was released on May 10, 2005 and continued the trend of increasing popularity for the band.
Britt Daniel wrote much of the soundtrack to the 2006 film Stranger Than Fiction. Four tracks by Spoon are also featured.
The band released their sixth studio album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga on July 10, 2007; those who purchased the first pressing also received a bonus disc titled Get Nice!.
Transference is their seventh studio album. It was released on January 18, 2010 in Europe, and on January 19 in North America, to moderately positive reviews.

Carolina's cheap
Oh she kneels down, down
Goes around, on a coffin, all night
But to me
Well she's nowhere now
She'll be nowhere tomorrow when you smashed all the, smashed all the
Cvantez, Cvantez, Cvantez
Cvantez, Cvantez, Cvantez

She's not down with the revolution
She's not hip and part of the nation
Cvantez, Cvantez, Cvantez
Cvantez, Cvantez, Cvantez

She's not down with the revolution
She's not hip and part of the nation

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Spoon's song "Cvantez" paint a picture of a woman named Carolina who exists on the fringes of society, in a world that is far from glamorous or desirable. The opening line, "Carolina's cheap," sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer describes Carolina kneeling down on a coffin, going around all night, and ultimately ending up nowhere. The repetition of the phrase "Cvantez" throughout the song gives the impression of a chant or a mantra, perhaps representing the struggle for revolution or social change. The chorus describes Carolina as being "not down with the revolution" and "not hip and part of the nation," implying that she is outside of the mainstream and not interested in societal progress.

Line by Line Meaning

Carolina's cheap
Carolina is a person of low worth or value

Oh she kneels down, down
She submissively falls to her knees

Goes around, on a coffin, all night
She is promiscuous and spends her nights in a place of death

But to me
In my opinion or perspective

Well she's nowhere now
She is currently of no importance or significance

She'll be nowhere tomorrow when you smashed all the, smashed all the
She will be even more insignificant after you have destroyed everything

Repetitive chant without clear meaning

She's not down with the revolution
She does not support or participate in societal change

She's not hip and part of the nation
She is not cool or trendy and does not belong to the cultural group
