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.

I Will Still Be Laughing Lyrics

Soul Asylum

Doorways open up and close more ways to a punchline
Theyre all laughing at your clothes, standing in the lunch line
Youre the talk of the town cause youre up and youre down
Its a cycle, Ive found, it always comes around
But I will still be laughing
Yes I will still be laughing
Air raids in the afternoon, the children are playing
Switchblades, colored red balloons, no one hears your praying
And it comes back to you, all the things that you do
Will come looking for you, will come looking for you
But I will still be laughing
Yes I will still be laughing
Doorways lead to other rooms, always leave you lying
Face down in a strangers tomb, didnt know you were dying
And you rise and you fall, and you wait for the call
Youre watching the walls, youre watching the walls
But I will still be laughing
I will still be laughing
Yes I will still be laughing
I will still be laughing
