lyrics

You can spare me the truth but I'm gonna need a better lie. Sometimes it's just nice to know someone tried. You can stand on your head, you can shuffle your feet. I ain't in no hurry to die. You're so bold and cunning as long as no one calls your bluff. How does that cat even stay in range? You bet all the marbles but you put them in your mouth. Ain't nobody left still wants to play, no. Die die die die. Why won't you die die die die. I could just die d d die de die etc. Oh won't you let me come in cuz I've seen the wolf outside. That isn't heartburn when he cries. I should believe in my worth, but I don't want to anymore. That's just a coffin in disguise. You won't like what's coming but you can't always turn it off. How come that rat's still preaching pain? I don't want no trouble but this used to be my house. There's no pretending it ain't changed.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
