I wanna read your name in the headlines
with a lede that says, "He said, 'She said she wouldn't be mine.'"
And up above the eight-point uppercase byline
there's a picture of me, and I'm being led outside
You've been awfully quiet since he came around
but I'm keeping tabs on you, got my ear to the ground,
and what I hear is you're the talk of the town
but I knew that already. I'm keeping my ears to the ground.
His lips are lavish with your praise, he seems
totally sincere and you are kind of amazed he
hasn't gone ghost like Swayze;
in fact, his permanence is driving me kinda crazy.
Was Regina too cold for you to handle last night?
Did you find someone who would give you a light
and a hand, and some words, and a ride, and a kiss?
You know, it's moments like this that I'm gonna miss.
And every step past an alleyway's a step that I fear,
'Cause every sound is your name, and it's the last name I wanna hear –
But at the same time, I could go on hearing it all night.
There's something kinda crazy about it;
Yeah, I think I'm in love. No, I wouldn't even doubt it –
wanna go up to the rooftops and shout it.
And if I can't live with it, he can live without it.
It's Sunday night, there's nothing to do. I better
pour myself a stiff drink and get some pictures of you.
And what you're feeling is the turn of the screw;
I'm not sure if I'm tight enough but, hey, I think it'll do.
Was Regina too cold for you to handle last night?
I read about the evils of drinking, so I quit
reading
And when I saw your name made the phone start ringing
I picked it up, said "I'm gonna miss you" without even thinking
Of anything except his cum on your sheets
And when you asked what was wrong I had to lie through my teeth.
You said I sounded so fatalistic, well –
I'll show you fatalistic

Light in the afternoon is as cold as the light at the start of the day.
I can hear the sirens calling, calling, Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny...
Wake up
From the strangest dream.
The last eight months hadn't happened and you were alive
and breathing beside me.
It's been some time since I really felt fine,
And I have said some stupid shit in the meantime.
Just don't know how I can be expected to keep living my life.
You know, it's been so long, but it still feels wrong
Trying to listen to conventional love songs. You know?
It's times like these I'm finding I could use somebody to lean on,
Who'll tell me, "We got it.
"We got it covered,
like you wouldn't believe.
We know you need some time,
alone, at peace."
It's times like these I'm finding I could use somebody to lean on,
Who'll tell me, "We got it."
It's times like these I'm finding I could use somebody to lean on,
Who says, "Lean on me,
when you're not strong."

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!!
