lyrics

Packed my bags and leaving town
I couldn’t pay the rent
moving back to mama’s house
to her content/contempt
perception must be everything
Because to her I am a King

Barely employed, I make no bread
to May I must abide
All because I still believe in a the rock and roll joyride
Well we can laugh and we can chide
Hand in Hand and side by side

cuz you ain’t it and neither am I
cuz you ain’t it and neither am I

Written up in magazines
I read in my mid teens
Saying we don’t play by the rules
and reign supreme of our scene
perception must be everything
Because to them I am a king

NME, Kerrang and Vice
Have said we’re very nice
But that ain’t what it used to be
I still can’t name a a price
we still have to pay to rehearse
and design and print and press and sell and post our merch

you ain’t it and neither am I
you ain’t it and neither am I

I wouldn’t get too envious
Our day jobs still run rife
But you remember what D. Boon said?
“Our band could be your life!”
Perception just ain't everything
You all know I’m not the king!

One of us is painting houses
one of us is a cook
one of us sits at a desk
and one of us cooks the books
“But hey man you got it going on/pretty good for you”
Yes but you do too!

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
