Bob Mould - Trade

From the album Modulate. Couldn´t myself find this up here, so here it is...Fan clip! Enjoy Lyrics follow (i wrote them up how I heard them anyway)

a thousand questions awaits you
may you find the answer that you seek
today is the first day of the rest of your life
today is the last day for the wait

I´ll give you the answer
once i know the trade
just give me an answer
and then I´ll know the trade

And it must have been so hard
they renamed your bulevard
on the day of your parade
i bet you thought we had it made
but now i know
we know the trade

the answer lies within your soul
may you receive an unexpected reward
rely on instinct in times of trouble
let all the confusion be ignored

I´ll give you the answer
once i know the trade
just give me an answer
and then I´ll know the trade

And it must have been so hard
they renamed your bulevard
on the day of your parade
i bet you thought we had it made
but now i know
we know the trade

I wont let anyone disturb you
I wont let anything awake you from your sleep
its not imporant and we both know it can wait
piece of mind .......(soooorry cant really tell what...)

I´ll give you the answer
once i know the trade
just give me an answer
and then I´ll know the trade

And it must have been so hard
they renamed your bulevard
on the day of your parade
i bet you thought we had it made
but now i know
we know the trade

I love this song. I remember hearing it for the first time while I was working at Tower Records in Hollywood and flipping out over it. I can't believe it's been so long since it came out. I remember it lime it was last week!

It's sad this song never made it to the studio during the time Husker used to play it live. This era of Mould's career is so awkward, so retrograde and such an about face for so little reward. Making new order / pet shop boys versions of his old tunes was just mind-blowingly disingenuous. I wish he could've just demo'ed this shit and gotten out of his system without sullying his incredible discography..
