lyrics

on a train for a business trip
fell asleep, missed the station, shit
i am only one pony at the show

flipping pages in a chapter book
ends at eleven and that's all it took
to be zero, some say hero
and i can't be much clearer, don't ya know

i don't wanna have to say "i'm sorry"
i'm not sorry
i'm afraid to say it but it's true

lacking water in the deep swim lane
don't tell me it wasn't worth the pain
you are someone, well some thing, in this race

staring up at the mirrored sky
tell me the last time profits were so high

well i bought a new car, a ring for the wife, the latest technology for the little ones, two-way radio speakers for the hot tub, solar panels for mom's radiators, single-coil fashion lips for Aunt Dottie with rechargeable battery power, so you know!

i don't wanna have to say "i'm sorry"
i'm not sorry
i'm afraid to say it but it's true
i don't want to have to pay back those earnings that are burning
i'm afraid to say it so i won't

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
