No Reservations

Hüsker Dü, "No Reservations" from their epic 1987 LP "Warehouse: Songs & Stories":

  1. They were so loud when they played that nobody knew the words they were singing:

    I hear some news, I read the words
    It's different every day
    I get my thoughts from a letter that's lost
    That someone threw away
    It says, "Don't give up, 'cause you can't give away"
    The thought's appreciated
    Now at the best, you've second guessed
    And never should you have waited

    (Never changes, the things I feel inside
    Sit by a lake and cry
    Like a shingle on a roof in a windstorm
    Should I let loose and fly?)

    An overpass, and some corn in a field
    Fat birds on the line
    Dented guard rail, immaculate bumper
    Protecting your design
    A broken down shack with a pond in the back
    Laundry out to dry
    Some of them barren, some of them whole
    All of them have no time

    (Never changes, the things I feel inside
    Sit by a lake and cry
    Like a shingle on a roof in a windstorm
    Should I let loose and fly?)

    Come along with me
    Come along, come along with me
    We'll go to places that we have never seen
    And if we're together, we'll have a happy time
    'Cause I got no reservations
