lyrics

Show of Hams
He's got the upper hand
And the hand that rides
He makes a slapping motion
Just to calm the tides
He's got the lower deck, and a place besides

If you could ride a cloud and make it seem alright
We'll talk about the end game and the darkest night
I never said what I just said
So things just come out wrong
Come out wrong

He's got the soup du jour
And you make it pure
And when you break the code
You're just getting there
He's got the lower hand
And the hand of the man
If you could still the water, then we'll storm the land
We'll get a crowd together, with a show of hands
I never said what I just said
So things might come out wrong

Outside the men are coming
Best to hunker down
Punch holes in walls and then they'll patch them when they're done
I never said what I just said
So things might come out wrong
Come out wrong
They come out wrong
Things they come out wrong
In my hands
Things they come out wrong
Going down
Things they come out wrong
Outstretched hands
It'll be alright
Hand of the man

Make it seem alright

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
