I've got an idea. Where did it come from?
Did you give it to me? Did I get it from you?
I've got an idea. Now what should I do?

What's going on here?
It must be obvious to everyone but me

A Problem
02:26
|
|||
|
A problem so small it cannot be solved
It cannot be found. It makes no sound
A sum so big it does not exist
It cannot be saved, borrowed, or repaid
It just goes on
It just goes on and on and on and on

What's that looming in the air? What's that moving over there?
In the air. Over there
It's just your nerves

Pay attention to me when I say I want to be ignored
Make no mention of me. We all know I'm already adored

|
I'm listening to radios
I'm catching up on shows
I'm riding in cars
I'm charting the stars
I'm keeping in touch
I'm tying notes to birds
I'm using my words
I'm keeping in touch

TMI

Who, where, when, why, what?
Ifs, ands, or buts
Too much information

Didn't Ask
01:56
|
|||
|
We could have it all now, but we still don't
I'm not gonna spell out what I will or won't
I expected that we wouldn't expect this
Open up with blood and end it with a twist
If we get to come back, don't fuck it up next time
I'm not gonna explain or repeat my line
"... didn't ask to be here"

I like people who like the stuff that I like
I don't like people who don't like the stuff that I like
Politics, entertainment, ethnic food, your attitude
I like people who like the stuff that I like
I don't like people who don't like the stuff that I like

Imagining everything that could possibly go wrong with me
Imagining everything that could possibly go wrong with me
That's no way to be

To be content to be content
To be content to be content
Devoted dogs, detached cats
To be content to be content
To be content to be content
To be content to be content
The aggression in aggregate
To be content to be content

Oh, well ...
01:51
|

In my dream I am the only one who can save planet Earth
from total destruction and trivia
But what if I, in the night, wake from sleep, leave my bed, and take a piss?
Oh well

If something's not sitting right
Don't go into the light
Yeah I know you gotta spew
Here's what we're gonna do
Puke and rally

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!!
