Wide-Eyed and Ignorant is the fourth album by the Irish rock band A House, released in 1994. It contains the single "Here Come the Good Times", which was A House's only entry in the UK Top 40, at number 37. "Everything I Am" includes a spoken word section.

Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly determined that "the catchiest choruses on the fourth album by these brassy Irish folk-popsters raise gooseflesh the way the Pogues and Violent Femmes could in their prime." The Guardian opined that the band's "gift for strong melodies and playful lyrics ... is constantly undermined by tuneless vocals." The Hamilton Spectator wrote: "A bright mixture of folk-based pop and rolling rhythms, spiced with Dave Couse's sardonic vocals, A House always provides an interesting twist on human yearning."
