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.

Homesick Lyrics

Soul Asylum

I want to live with you in the fifth dimension
In a dream Ive never had
Cause I just cant live like this in a world like this
I just want a kiss goodbye
And we are not of this world
And theres a place for us
Stuck inside this fleeting moment
Tucked away where no one own it
Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away
And oh, I am so homesick
But it aint that bad
Cause Im homesick for the home Ive never had
And though I sometimes get annoyed I know just where Im at
This is my song of joy
And now I know there are no secret trick, no correct politics
Just liars and lunatics
And we are not of this world
And theres a place for us
Stuck inside this fleeting moment
Tucked away where no one own it
Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away
And oh, I am so homesick
But it aint that bad
Cause Im homesick for the home Ive never had
And though I would not take it personally, its just the child in me
I never really knew how much I had
Woe is me, I am so homesick
But it aint that bad
Cause Im homesick for the home Ive never had
