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.

Soul Asylum

Make ure chillin
Guts start spillin
Its piece of a puzzle
Piece of a trouble
Is it somethin else?
Ure sellin yourself
Im so wanting
Without a clue
Gotta find something better
Something better to do
Something so exciting
Im into something new
You piece together the whole thing
Gives u something to use
Maybe I should practice it one more time
Maybe Im afraid what it might do
Maybe it might upset someone
Maybe thats what its supposed to do
Pull it from the bottom
It begins to change
Find another existance
Thats what ure trying to say?
Im not pushin u out
Im not pushin u off
Im not pushin u out
Im not pushin u
All of the lands are terribly restless
With tellin u what to do
But u go bak to the land
Where ure defensless
They act just like me and u
Look what uve dont to me
Look what Ive done to u
Look what theyve done to us
Now were like noone else
Theyre laughin at u
Talkin about u
All these new things
All these new things
I found in use
And Im workin so hard
When I think it is real
Everybody does once
Just to see how it feels
Its not a sensation
And its not for sale
So what can u call it now?
Keep em gotten
Theyll spoil u rotten
Keep em gotten
Keep em gotten
Just another freak
Be another freak
Be a freak
