Song lyrics
All tracks written by Gordon Gano.

(1983)

 * When I'm out walking, I strut my stuff, Yeah, and I'm so strung out. I'm high as a kite, I just might Stop to check you out. Let me go on Like I blister in the sun; Let me go on, Big hands, I know you're the one.


 * You can all just kiss off into the air; Behind my back, I can see them stare. They'll hurt me bad, but I won't mind. They'll hurt me bad, they do it all the time (yeah, yeah!) Yeah, they do it all the time (yeah, yeah!)
 * Kiss Off


 * Day after day, I will walk and I will play. But the day after today, I will stop and I will start. Why can't I get just one kiss? Why can't I get just one kiss?
 * Add It Up


 * Why can't I get just one fuck? Why can't I get just one fuck? I guess it's got something to do with luck, But I waited my whole life for just one... Day after day I get angry and I will say That the day is in my sight When I take a bow and say goodnight.
 * Add It Up


 * Words to memorize, words hypnotize, Words make my mouth exercise. Words all fail the magic prize; Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs.
 * Add It Up
