    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 Lisa Wertman Crowe

lyrics

I saw you in your tower
I paid the fee
I gave my blood
I spit on my shoes
To live in your shadow
I lost more than I could find

Under the rug
Under the rug

Under the rug you feel me scream
In your complacency leave me be
I see colors of the ones before
Drink and stumble; drink and stumble

Dark it burns
Shattered and dry
Failing solo and now I
hide

Cursed livin' forward plunge
What's in the mainstream is under the rug
What's in the mainstream is under the rug

Under the rug

I saw you walking
Do you know your way?
I saw light fall into grey
It followed me home
It made me ill
Steady, boy
You've had your
Fill

What's under the rug Is now in my bed
It's made its way into the scheme of things
How do you plead with your pants on fire
How do you plead with your pants on fire?
When a bucket of water
Is under the rug
Under the rug

Under the rug you feel me scream
In your complacency leave me be
I see colors of the ones before
Drink and stumble; drink and stumble

How do you choke your one desire? [3x]
Don't look for me, don't look for me [2x]
I'm under the
rug I'm under the
rug I'm under the
rug I'm under the
rug I'm under the
rug
I'm under the rug [3x]
