Biography

An American indie rock band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, formed in 1989. For most of the bands history, the line-up consisted of Mac McCaughan (lead vocals/guitar), Laura Ballance (bass), Jim Wilbur (guitar) and Jon Wurster (drums). In 2013, Jason Narducy replaced Ballance as the live/touring bass player, with Ballance continuing to play on all studio recordings. Since 2023, Betsy Wright and Narducy have undertaken bass duties for different live concerts. Long time drummer Jon Wurster retired from the band in February 2023 and was replaced by Laura King. Founding members Mac and Laura also started Merge Records in 1989, releasing all Superchunk LP's since Foolish in 1994.

LYRICS

Well you never did like the way the road stretched out
Never knowing where all these oily black threads are tied
Under the lights of a spaceship landed
On the ice of a curve unsanded
There's a clover leaf
That'll wreck your life

And everybody lives in a knot
Everybody lives in a knot
Everybody's trying to make space around what they think they've got
Everybody lives in a knot
Everybody lives in a knot
Everybody's trying to make space around what they think they've got

It was never better
It was never any better
But a nation is not soothed
When they tell her
And the doctors all look shocked

But everybody grows up weened on some sick late century dream
Or the happy face on a shirt smiling "shop till you drop," yeah

Everybody lives in a knot
Everybody lives in a knot
Everybody's trying to make space around what they think they've got

Everybody's trying to hold on to a dream even as they watch it rot

ta da da da...
