lyrics

Has this ever happened to you:
Can’t put your finger on it
Everything’s coming unglued
It was gone but now returning

And I wanted to scream but I stammered
And rip down the banners
Yeah I wish I had a hammer now.

What do you call this whatever?
Can’t get it off your tongue tip
Function and chaos together
Sharpened but quickly blunted

And I wanted to scream but I stammered
Rip down the banners
Yeah I wish I had a hammer now.

No one cares, loser
It’s all cake all the time
Yeah I wish I had a hammer

Going through rooms like I’m looking
For I don’t know but I gotta’ have it
What language is this understood in
Where they got thousands of words for panic?

And I wanted to scream but I stammered
Rip down all the banners
Yeah I wish I had a hammer now.

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
