Forty days and forty nights
Once you get it
You’re gonna get it right
And I know that I’m gonna get it
too
Every time you say my name
You think it all sounds the same
But I know that
You’re gonna get it
soon
See me coming at your door
Saying you don’t wanna hear it anymore
But I know that
You’re gonna hear it
soon
Every time you say my name
I know it all sounds the same
And I know that I’m gonna hear it
too
You’re just a bandwagon jumping machine
You can’t hear it
You don’t know what it means
But I know that you’re gonna hit it
soon
Forty days and forty nights
Once you get it
You’re gonna get it right
And I know that we’re gonna hit it
too

You will be replaced
Take a different name
Oh yeah
You will be replaced
Everybody knows your game
No leverage these days
Everybody’s got your face
No leverage these days
Everybody’s here to play
No advantage anymore
I wanna see you walking out that door
Things came so easily for you
Not anymore
You will be replaced
Pontificate no more
You will be replaced
Everybody’s here to slay
No leverage anymore
We wanna see you walking out that door
Things came so easily for you
Not anymore
You will be replaced
You will be replaced
You will be replaced
You will be replaced

I saw you coming
From miles away
You had that look
Like you wanted to prey
on me
I could see
You couldn’t take it
When I said no
You wanted to be
The next fellow
inside me
I could see
I said no more
I said no more coming back
Don’t even bother me
I saw you coming
From miles away
You had that look
Like you wanted to prey
next to me
I could see
You wouldn’t hear me
When I said no
You wanted to be the next hero
Beside me
I could see
I said no more
I said no more going back
Don’t even bother me
You saw me coming from miles away
I had that look like I want to pray
over you

Regular Guy

I’ve been thinking it over
All the things in my head
I’ve been trying to get over
All the things that you said
I’ve been tossing and turning
All in my bed
I’ve been trying to get over
All those things that I said
I’ve been wondering, my love
Wondering
How can I
Even try
To get by
Just like some regular guy
I’ve been fighting with the mirror
Staring back so cold
I’m left wondering how I
Could feel so old
I’ve been wondering, my love
Wondering
How can I
Even try
To get by
Just like some regular guy
It’s been 5 years now
You’d think I was dead
I was hiding out like somebody
Who cares instead
When you know the score
I’m not gonna play it anymore
With you, that’s true
Treating me like some
Regular guy
I heard already
All the voices inside
They’re telling me baby
You have to try
I’m still wondering, my love
Wondering
How can I
Even try
To get by
Just like some regular guy

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!!

This fantastically chaotic record from Pons kicks and claws and howls—revved-up post-punk that just won’t quit.
