Soul Asylum - While You Were Out [1986]


Just to get the complete picture,
we have thrown that other
most incredible Soul Asylum album
of all time
(and/or 1986)
up here in the Forest.

My favorite lyrics (today):

"Caterpillar crawling up the big phone pole,
is there somebody that you want to talk to?
Know that pretty soon you'll be able to fly,
how is this going to affect you?"

~~~

"They're laughing at you, talking about you
All these new things, all these new things
i bought them used"

~~~

"Everybody dies once just to see how it feels
it's not a sensation and it's not for sale
so what can you call it now?"

~~~

"shine a light where the sun doesn't shine"
[listen closely here]
...
"how the hell did I get to Alaska?"

~~~

"every time you move your lips
let me give you a few tips
yesterday you were too young
tomorrow you will be too old
too regret all the things you've done
who you trying to hustle
somebody wanna show your muscle
second-hand excuses never went to far
what's this scene you're making?
your ideas have been taken
sick when you awaken
alone in someone's car
you just stood there shaking
you stood there shaking
you said you want to be
you want to be
closer to the stars"

~~~

"if you're walking home late at night
dressed-up-and-alone
don't you get tired of being white?
well buffalo never roam

Gonna sneak up behind you
steal your thoughts
tap your phone
'cause you might be keeping secrets
that you ain't supposed to know"

~~~

"And i ain't proud of nothing
but it's better that way
'cuz its too loud for talking
and there ain't much to say

So pick up your explosives
and pack up your gun
if you ain't chasin' someone
you got to be on the run

and I'm so far from home now
(nothin' better, anyway)
I ain't looking to make a living now no
I just need a place to stay
(i need a place to stay)"
...
