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.

Hopes Up Lyrics

Soul Asylum

Theres just no substitute for fun
Ive tried every single one
And no one can take your place
Everybody gets replaced
My time has neither come nor gone
It just slips out when I yawn
Without hope I cant go wrong
Dont get my hopes up now
Dont get my hopes up now
Its so hard to settle down
Dont recognize my home town
Home is where I hang my head
Lost in all these things I said
Been holding my breath for so long
I dont need air anymore
If you never let me breathe
Ill never breathe
Dont get my hopes up now
Dont get my hopes up now
Dont know what I was hoping for
I feel like feeling better than I ever felt before
My time has neither come nor gone
It just slips out when I yawn
Holding my breath for so long
Dont want to be bored no more
I know theres so much more
Dont know what I was hoping for
I feel like feeling better than I ever felt before
Dont get my hopes up now
Dont get my hopes up now
