The Prize Lyrics


The night of a thousand verses
One thousand friends said have you heard
What we expectedWe are all working late and
Waiting to win a prize we don't deserve
And live to collect itCan't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can waitThe night of a thousand verses
One thousand strivers strain to hear
A voice that's left usAnd the magazines still have to sell us
Twelve mastergeniuses a year
It's all so shamelessCan't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can waitCan't you see I'm blurry
Maybe this news can waitMaybe there was a message in it
I don't know where you hid it
Maybe there was a piece that will fit
I don't know where to fit itTell me what kind of prize can you get
Where you don't want to win it?Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can waitCan't you see I'm blurry
Maybe this blues can wait

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Semisonic is a power pop/alt rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Band members are Dan Wilson (guitar/vocals), John Munson (bass), and Jacob Slichter (drums).

After the breakup of Trip Shakespeare, Dan Wilson and John Munson joined up with drummer Jacob "Jake" Slichter to form Semisonic in 1995. An EP, Pleasure, was released that year and the studio full-length Great Divide in 1996 on MCA.

Semisonic's breakthrough came two years later in 1998 when their sophomore effort, Feeling Strangely Fine, reached the Top 50 chart on the strength of the hit single "Closing Time".

Their international career also blossomed when another song from the album, "Secret Smile," quickly became a UK radio favourite in the summer of 1999, eventually peaking at #13 on the official UK Singles Chart.

In early 2001, the band released its third album, All About Chemistry. The single "Chemistry" was a mainstay overseas; however, the album didn't fare as well in the United States. Another song, "Over My Head," was used in the 2001 teen movie Summer Catch, and Semisonic rode the wave of various tours in and around the UK. In the fall of 2001, Semisonic contributed their cover of the Wings classic, "Jet," for the Paul McCartney tribute CD, Listen to What the Man Said.

Semisonic has been on hiatus since 2001. Band members have since pursued other projects, such as Slichter's writing career and Wilson's solo recordings They performed for the first time in years on July 14, 2006 for the Minneapolis Aquatennial. They have also been spotted performing for private parties in basements.
