  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    6-song EP recorded in 1987.

    During seven years of relentless touring, Get Smart! earned a national reputation for intense live shows and edged their way onto college radio playlists with their first two LPs, Action Reaction (1984) and Swimming With Sharks (1986).

    In January, 1987, the band began work on their third album with seminal recording engineer, Iain Burgess. These recordings were archived for 33 years until Get Smart! reformed this year.

    With the aim of matching their live sound, the band commissioned Steve Albini to craft the final mixes with them. These six songs prove that the tension and inspiration shown on their first LPs was no idle promise.

©Get Smart! Lyrics by Marcus Koch

lyrics

Grab her now while they fade away
I thought it was three years today
When all forgottens turn memories astray
We'll brace the door where the bodies lay

Let's get out, out in the rain
And watch them dance around the drain
So, we have pleasure and freshly caught pain
Break it in pieces; we'll sleep on the stain

So, one has to go and one has to stay
Let's get drunk and not fade away
Absence pulls the heartstrings longer
Absence makes the hair grow blonder

Let's get out, out in the rain
And watch them dance inside my brain
So, we have pleasure and freshly caught pain
Break it in pieces; we'll sleep on the stain

Absence pulls the heartstrings longer
