The three were subsequently joined by Steve LaFolette (bass & vocals), Pat Noel (keyboards & guitar), Steve St. Cin (drums), and Ana Pitchon, who toured as Beulah in 1998, before recording When Your Heartstrings Break. Bill Evans (keyboards) then joined the band to play live. Steve St. Cin left the band to be replaced by Danny Sullivan, before The Coast is Never Clear was released in 2000. Bill Evans and Steve LaFolette then left, to be replaced by Pat Abernathy and Eli Crews respectively. Beulah went on to record 2003's Yoko, then toured North America and Europe before a goodbye show on August 5th 2004, in New York.
A DVD, A Good Band is Easy to Kill was released in 2005 and features documentary footage from Beulah's 2003 tour.
If We Can Land A Man On The Moon Surely I Can Win Your Heart
Beulah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you want me to fight
I'll laugh
If you want me to laugh
And cancel out the sun
I will, I will
You know I surely will
If you wanna sing
Tell me what you wanna sing
And I'll play
Yeah, I'll play
Speed it up or slow it down
And if you want we'll change the sound
We'll play
Yeah, we'll play
Anything that you want
All we want from you
Is a word or two
And even though
We don't show
We cast our nets like missionaries
If we sell out, oh well
Our only fan will be changing costumes
And you'll see it's much the same
So sing our songs
And for applause we'll get up, get up
If you wanna sing
Tell me what you wanna sing
And I'll play.
Yeah, I'll play
Speed it up or slow it down
and if you want we'll change the sound
Yeah, we'll play
Yeah, we'll play
Anything that you want
All we want from you
Is a word or two
I've been worth a ton
And I've been worth
I don't need you now
The words you write
Make my heart race and stop
Then just break
Yeah we'll do anything as you want
So please don't go and break our hearts
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah
I'll fight
If you want me to fight
