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.

Little Too Clean Lyrics

Soul Asylum

Thought I heard you screaming
And pulling out your hair
Furious and steaming
A state upon your stare
Dont you know
Dirt will find you and
Dirt reminds you that
Dirt will always be there
Its only
Dirt around you and
Dirt surrounds you and
Follows you everywhere
Heres a dirty joke, man
Filled with filth and smut
The heart of it, it sparkles
The more it can corrupt
Dont you know
Dirt cant hurt you
Im truly certain
Usually washes out
Dont you know
Rain will wash out the
Stain and all of your
Pain will work itself out
Work it out
fraid youve lost your innocence
To some-odd social scene
Youre right on top
But youve been replaced
By a shiny new machine
And dirt keeps following you
And you dont know what it means
Youre a little too clean
A little too clean
A little too clean
One day dirt will bury you and
You will understand
There is nothing much more than the
Ground on which you stand
Dont you know
Dirt will find you and
Dirt reminds you that
Dirt will always be there
Its only
Dirt around you and
Dirt surrounds you and
Follows you everywhere
fraid youve lost your innocence
To some-odd social scene
Youre right on top
But youve been replaced
By a shiny new machine
And dirt keeps following you
And you dont know what it means
Youre a little too clean
A little too clean
A little too clean
