Knockin on Mine (3:44)

Cover of MY PERFECT LIST - PUNK & ROCK

From MY PERFECT LIST - PUNK & ROCK and 3 other releases

Paul Westerberg (born December 31, 1959) is an American musician, best known as the former lead singer, rhythm guitarist, and songwriter of The Replacements, one of the seminal alternative rock bands of the 1980s. He launched a solo career after the dissolution of that band. In recent years, he has cultivated a more independent-minded approach, primarily recording his music at home in his basement.

14 Songs is the first official solo album from Paul Westerberg, former leader of The Replacements. In many ways, it’s his second solo album, given that the final Replacements album, All Shook Down, was heavily packed with session musicians and marginalized the other three band members.

The album features contributions from Ian McLagan, former keyboardist for the Faces, a band that Westerberg has often cited as a favorite. Joan Jett sings background vocals.

Alright, you read common knowledge, stockpile your brain
You get burned in the sun, you get wet in the rain
What they teach you to fix, needs to be broke
I say, he who laughs first didn't get the joke

    'redd_hazel' 100% AGREE with your statement! Westerberg decerves to be in the pantheon of classic songwriters: Dylan, Young, Lennon, McCartney, Reed, Bowie, etc., etc., etc.

    Westerberg is hands down one of my favorite songwriters. Actually the man should probably get more credit for his craft. His wordplay is something else.

    There's so much good advice in this song much more than that nickelback song with all the terms you've heard a million times. Why I ever compared those two songs when one of them is & always will be better (this song) I'll never know.

    This is one of Westerberg's better songs.
