    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.

about

©Get Smart! Lyrics by Marcus Koch

lyrics

Here you are today with your head full of stones
Thinking that you own what was never quite yours
You hit the street, look left then right
You follow him where you will go
But you'll never think to follow me to paradise; to paradise

I saw you yesterday looking better than before
Talking of a life that could never be yours
You looked at me; I see through you
Wishing all your thoughts could fill your dreams
But I never want to waste a day in paradise; in paradise

Now, you're on your own; it's not the bridges that get burned
Look who's missing whom or what you miss the most
You save your breath again and lie
I really thought I would let you try
I bet you never thought I'd let you die in your paradise; your paradise
