"And you're still in love with nobody... and I used to be nobody".
More emotion in that one line than some bands manage in a whole album, just awesome.

Pure genius

Never a more brilliant declaration of 'what might have been' whilst watching someone you love make a huge mistake x

The first time I heard this, both my feet kept tapping ...then the rest of me joined the tapping ... LOL
(reminds of Rod's style and songs like 'You wear it well' )

Great song. First time I heard it I thought "finally a hit" for the Replacements as they break-up but oh well ..

This is the one Replacements album I didn't listen to obsessively like SMFTTOTT, Hootenanny, LIB, Tim, PTMM. I hear this stuff and YouTube am I am floored by how good it is and it holds up. "Love nobody and I won't tell nobody, ya still in love with nobody, I used to be nobody, but not anymore." Brilliant. Time passes... been there, done that.

It's in A maj. So the verse is A-D-E, with a G as the change, then G-F# before the chorus. Chorus is B-D and the bridge is G-F (the rising bit is then A#-C-D. It's a little tricky to explain, just play around with those until you get it.

I would love to get the title track to this album. "All shook down" I love that song.
I agree. Brilliant. Thoughtful. The combination of the lyrics, the acoustic guitar, the bass line, Slim Dunlap's solo and Westerberg's vocal delivery...well. I don't have enough good words in my vocabulary to describe it.

Yep. Good catch, I was lazy and didn't look it up to make sure. Memory isn't so good any more. 1990.

lol, Yeah it should probably read 'ain't' nobody at the end. But he makes it work anyways.
