lyrics

YOU WILL DO ANYTHING
YOU BIG STRONG MAN
YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS
EVERY DAY CAN BE ANYTHING
ANYTHING AT ALL

THIS SPACE COULD BE ANYTHING
BREAK IT AND BUILD IT UP
OBLITERATED PLACES
EVERYTHING CAN BE NOTHING
NOTHING AT ALL

KEEP ON SMASHING THE OLD WORLD
UNTIL IT SWALLOWS YOU WHOLE

IT’S YOUR LABOR OF LOVE
IT’S A BRAIN SMASHING DUB
IT’S A FINAL SOLUTION
FOR A HUMAN INSTITUTION

I DON’T BLAME YOU
FOR WANTING IT DIFFERENT
BIGGER AND FASTER
GLEAMING AND CLEAN
NO MORE GREASY HANDS
STAINING THE LINENS
OF A LUXURY FUTURE
I WON’T LIVE TO SEE.
YOU WILL DO ANYTHING

TO KEEP ON SMASHING THE OLD WORLD
UNTIL IT SWALLOWS YOU WHOLE

Coriky

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
