Lyrics:

Steppin' out I tried to fix it

Pulled a thumb out of that hole

Give me the ingredients I'll mix it

How can you move with out a goal

*There never really is a good time

There's always nothing much to say

Pretty good not doin' that fine

Gettin' up most every day

An excuse is all you live for

The abuse is all you crave

Sure you know just what is in store

Wait and see if I'll behave

(*Repeat)

There's a time just let me know now

When it's with you I'll be glad

That I was right there just to show you

At least it's more that what you had

There never really is a good time

Pretty simple song once you get it down. The order in which you play this

song varies with each album but you should be about to pick it out and go

with it. If you need any more infomation E-mail me. And if you are

interested in The Dinosaur Jr. Online fan Club on AOL please email me for

infomation. Thanks T.
