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.

Gullible’s Travels Lyrics

Soul Asylum

Keep a watch out behind you from that which can blind you
And die like a dream in a jar
Forewarned if hindsight is all that makes you right
Youre running away but you wont get very far
No its not my intention to harbor pretensions
Or told you I hadnt a clue
Took fate by the neck and youll never look back
Youve forgotten more than I ever knew
Everythings turning but mostly just turning out wrong
Whats lost was once burning and (finally? ) the day seems so long
And its gullibles travels and nothing unravels this way
Just another lost journey where everythings turning away
Saving crowds from the roar from the cutting room floor
Played it at night in his dreams
Woke up was cold and his manager had sold him
Its louder than love but dont think I know what it means
Nobodys talking and who tells you when to go home
Guess I wore out my welcome, its better than being alone
And its gullibles travels and nothing unravels this way
Just another lost journey where everythings turning away
Shot in the dark landed short of the mark
Cant hold a candle to you
Flames burning brightly and shines in so lightly
But lighting the day alone seems so untrue
Everythings turning but mostly just turning out wrong
Whats lost was once burning but (finally? ) the day seems so long
And its gullibles travels and nothing unravels this way
Just another lost journey where everythings turning away
