what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

 

Quitting after one more last one

Tired of playing the clown

If I want your opinion I'll ask ya

I can get myself down

 

Night driving without headlights

Wearing sunglasses too

Looking good but sure don't feel right

Anything to be cool

 

Doing hopscotch with my legs tied

Jumping rope in wet cement

Black leather in midday sunshine

All your mother's money's spent

 

Doing time on the metal detector

Like to drown in your pool

Covering up everything that's defective

Anything to be cool

 

A burning heart

Could be so cool

Won't you be my fashion victim?

Come on, I'm an April Fool for you

 

Holding on to what's left of real life

Anything to be cool

 

“April Fool”

Soul Asylum

 

I’m a Soul Asylum fan circa 1988. I saw them live several times at Grinnell. I enjoy their albums all the way through And the Horse They Rode In On in 1990. 

 

Grave Dancers Union in 1992 was a sad sack except for this track, which I enjoy, especially on April Fools Day. Don’t talk to me about “Runaway Train” or Winona Ryder or Dave Pirner’s role in “Reality Bites”
