lyrics
complicate or comply
if it suits you, well, I don’t mind
to dress in red, to lie in bed
with my forked tongue tied
I’m not asleep yet.
breaking every rule we set,
is this all we can fit in our hungry mouths?
she don’t care, well, I don’t mind
we’re filling up the pens to draw the lines
to call it quits? or write the script?
without which how would we know how to live?
everyone keeps acting like they know a secret
now pay attention to the words we say:
“this isn’t really about what we say”
it’s about what we do
it’s about what we say we want to
now our eyes are closed and
we’re following like faithful sheep
buy it for us
so we can accept your generosity
graciously on our knees
apparently I haven’t said enough
I know you’ve already heard it all
buy it for us
our head in your hands
when we’re sedate enough
pour the gas, light the match and get out of here.
if it suits you, well, I don’t mind
to dress in red, to lie in bed
with my forked tongue tied
I’m not asleep yet.
breaking every rule we set,
is this all we can fit in our hungry mouths?
she don’t care, well, I don’t mind
we’re filling up the pens to draw the lines
to call it quits? or write the script?
without which how would we know how to live?
everyone keeps acting like they know a secret
now pay attention to the words we say:
“this isn’t really about what we say”
it’s about what we do
it’s about what we say we want to
now our eyes are closed and
we’re following like faithful sheep
buy it for us
so we can accept your generosity
graciously on our knees
apparently I haven’t said enough
I know you’ve already heard it all
buy it for us
our head in your hands
when we’re sedate enough
pour the gas, light the match and get out of here.

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!!

This entire album rips. I've had this on repeated play several times since it came out. I wish I had heard it a week earlier when they played in Boston. One of my fav albums in this genre period.
