Formed in the summer of 1981 by high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner, Soul Asylum (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands Hsker Dand The Replacements. Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will... Everything Can Happen in 1984 (later reissued as Say What You Will, Clarence... Karl Sold the Truck), Made to Be Brokenin 1986, While You Were Outin 1986, and the EP Clam Dip And Other Delightsin 1988. The band then switched to A&M, releasing Hang Timein 1988 and And the Horse They Rode in Onin 1990 under that label.

Once I had fame, oh but I was full of pride. there were a lot of friends
Always by my side. but my fame oh it died and my friends began to hide
Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone. everywhere
I turn there was hello and a smile I never thought that it would be gone
After awhile but my bank roll oh it down and the smiles they turned
To frowns. everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone
Once I had love. oh but it wouldnt be true to get back that love there aint
Nothing I wouldnt do but Ive loved and I lost and now I paid the cost
Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone
Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone.
