from Barenaked Ladies - Maybe You Should Drive (1994)
As we walk together through the autumn, nearing winter
Through the dying leaves and trees we call our home and native land, You say you don't believe a thing I say, I say you don't believe a thing You say you can't believe how I don't understand * But I Know That you will be waiting Oh I know That you will be waiting Oh I know You Will be waiting Waiting there for me You say you cannot live with me, you need your own identity And now we air our laundry on national TV And so you hate my arrogance, my smothering and sitting on the fence, But I'm afraid of the hard permanence of letting you go free *Repeat I'm so sick of fighting and that effigy you're lighting looks An awful lot like whose name I just can't quite place And though you say it's not supposed to be me or any entity Still through the lames and smoke I see I recognize that face *Repeat And you were someone who would Always tell me things I don't know, And tell me where to go But there I'll always go Whether or not you're waiting I don't care if you'll be waiting But please say that you will be waiting there for me |

nough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough again
I called your bluff 'cos you think you're so tough because you can make enemies out of friends I am getting sleepy I'm in your command Yes, yes, yes, I understand Yes, yes, yes, I understand (Uh-huh!) Over and over and over and over and over and over and over again The Xmas curse of sharing incurred we inferred the sword is mightier than the pen You are in Atlanta I am in a band Yes, yes, yes, I'm in a band Yes, yes, yes, I understand A fact is a fact is a fact is a fact is a fact is a fact to misunderstand And all the detractors who question the crafts have been asked to retract or face reprimand You are always lying I am on the lamb Yes, yes, yes, I understand Repetition of suspicion Takes a lie and makes it true Nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer to our demise The fear we adhere to appears to be steering our ears to where we're only hearing lies With us or against us The line is in the sand Yes, yes, yes, I understand Repetition of suspicion Takes a lie and makes it true |

I concede that you were right about this place
I can make a perfect likeness of your body if I trace I can hold you 'til you turn out the light And I can't see Do you believe we are all innately good Do you think that you would love me 'til tomorrow if you could Would you please turn down the radio So we can speak I put my hands around your neck You wrap your arms around me I put my hands around your neck You wrap your arms around me I put my hands around your neck You wrap your arms around me I put my hands around your neck You wrap your arms around me I regret every time I raised my voice And it wouldn't be that bright of me to say I had no choice I can kiss your eyes your hair your neck 'Til we forget I concede that you were right about this place I can make a perfect likeness of your body if I trace I can hold you 'til you turn out the light, And I can't see |

Now I lay me down not to sleep I just get tangled in the sheets I swim in sweat three inches deep I just lay back and claim defeat Chapter read and lesson learned I turned the lights off while she burned So while she's three hundred degrees I throw the sheets off and I freeze Lids down, I count sheep I count heartbeats The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep I countdown, I look around Who needs sleep? (well you're never gonna get it) Who needs sleep? (tell me what's that for) Who needs sleep? (be happy with what you're getting There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War) My hands are locked up tight in fists My mind is racing filled with lists of things to do and things I've done Another sleepless night's begun Lids down, I count sheep I count heartbeats The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep I countdown, I look around Who needs sleep? (well you're never gonna get it) Who needs sleep? (tell me what's that for) Who needs sleep? (be happy with what you're getting There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War) Who needs sleep? (well you're never gonna get it) Who needs sleep? (tell me what's that for) Who needs sleep? (be happy with what you're getting There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War) There's so much joy in life, so many pleasures all around But the pleasure of insomnia is one I've never found With all life has to offer, There's so much to be enjoyed But the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid Lids down, I count sheep I count heartbeats The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep I countdown, I look around Hala Hala Hala... Who needs sleep? (well you're never gonna get it) Who needs sleep? (tell me what's that for) Who needs sleep? (be happy with what you're getting There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War) |

With life just begun, my sleeping new son
has eyes that roll back in his head They flutter and dart, he slows down his heart and pictures a world past his bed It's hard to believe As I watch you breathe Your mind drifts and weaves When you dream, what do you dream about? When you dream, what do you dream about? Do you dream about music or mathematics or planets too far for the eye? Do you dream about Jesus or quantum mechanics or angels who sing lullabies? His fontanelle pulses with lives that he's lived With memories he'll learn to ignore And when it is closed, he already knows he's forgotten all he knew before But when sleep sets in history begins But the future will win When you dream, what do you dream about? When you dream, what do you dream about? Are they colour or black and white, Yiddish or English or languages not yet conceived? Are they silent or boisterous? Do you hear noises just loud enough to be perceived? Do you hear Del Shannon's "Runaway" playing on transistor radio waves? With so little experience, your mind not yet cognizant Are you wise beyond your few days? When you dream, what do you dream about? When you dream, what do you dream about? |

When I Fall
I look straight in the window, try not to look below Pretend I'm not up here, try counting sheep But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees. Chorus: I wish I could fly From this building, from this wall And if I should try, would you catch me if I fall? My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings Can't look below me, or something might throw me Curse at the windstorms that October brings. I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo They're frightened of jumping, in case they survive. I wish I could step from this scaffold onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's Dead Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer I look like a painter, behind all the grease But paintings creating, and I'm just erasing A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece Chorus |

When I was born, they looked at me and said,
"What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy." And when you were born, they looked at you and said, "What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl." We've got these chains hanging around our necks People wanna strangle us with them before we take our first breath Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same When temptation calls, we just look away This name is the hairshirt I wear And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair This song is the cross that I bear Bear with me, bear with me, bear with me Be with me tonight I know that it isn't right... But be with me tonight I go to school, I write exams If I pass, if I fail, if I drop out does anyone give a damn? And if they do, they'll soon forget 'Cause it won't take much from me to show my life ain't over yet I wake up scared, I wake up strange I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever gonna change I wake up scared, I wake up strange And everything around me stays the same It's the hairshirt I wear And this hairshirt is woven from, it's woven from, your brown hair This song is the cross that I bear Bear with me, bear with me, bear with me Be with me tonight I know that it isn't right... But be with me tonight I couldn't tell you that I was wrong Chickened out, grabbed a pen and a paper, sat down and I wrote this song I couldn't tell you that you were right So instead I looked in the mirror, I watched TV, laid awake all night We've got these chains hanging around our necks People wanna strangle us with them before we take our first breath Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same When temptation calls... This name is the hairshirt I wear And this hairshirt is woven from, it's woven from, it's woven from hair This song is the cross that I bear Bear with me, bear with me, bear with me Be with me tonight And when I was born, they looked at me and said, "What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy."

She likes to sleep with the radio on
So she can dream of her favorite song The one that no one has ever sung since she was small She'll never know that she made it up She had a soul and we ate it up Thrown away like a paper cup The music falls The only flaw in her detailed plan Is where she wins back the love of her man Everyone knows that he's never coming back He took her heart and she took his name He couldn't stand taking all the blame He left her only with guilt and shame and then she cracked Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves Of all these demons haunting us To keep us company In the dream I refuse to have She falls asleep in a lukewarm bath We're left to deal with the aftermath again On behalf of humanity I will fight for your sanity How profound such profanity can be Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves Of all these demons haunting us To keep us company Won't it be odd to be happy like we Always thought we're supposed to feel But never seem to be Near where I live there's a viaduct Where people jump when they're out of luck Raining down on the cars and trucks below They've put a net there to catch their fall Like it'll stop anyone at all What they don't know is when nature calls, you go They say that Jesus and mental health Are just for those who can help themselves But what good is that when you live in hell on earth? From the very fear that makes you want to die Is just the same as what keeps you alive It's way more trouble than some suicide is worth Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves Of all these demons haunting us To keep us company Won't it be odd to be happy like we Always thought we're supposed to feel But never seem to be Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs My hands were tied and the phone was bugged Another died and the world just shrugged it off |

I was surprised at how incredibly fast you were to come up and ask for a light I was amazed at just how matter of fact you were in taking me back for the night I only crave the sugar on the pill I hope that you will Trust me, trust me To let you down, You know that somebody got there first Trust me, trust me To let you down, My fingers crossed while my lips are pursed Trust me, I don't know where I'm going, you can drop me there Don't understand how the roles are reversed and now it's me that's freaked out by the chase The holy trinity are there in your purse: a condom, Obsession, and mace It's easier if I'm on my way So anyway you'll.. Trust me, trust me to let you down, You know that somebody got there first Trust me, trust me to let you down, My fingers crossed while my lips are pursed Trust me, I don't know where I'm going, you can drop me there I want you, you want me I want you not to want me I need you to need me To leave me Needing you to leave Trust me, trust me to let you down, You know that somebody got there first Trust me, trust me to let you down, My fingers crossed while my lips are pursed Trust me, I don't know where I'm going, you can drop me there Trust me, Trust me to let you down Trust me to let you down Trust me to let you down |

You say "why does everything revolve around you?"
You say, "why does everything I do confound you?" You say that I pulled the world from under you, You can't go through it this time I could be good, and I would- If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait- Or is too little too late? One day, This embarassment will fade behind me And that day I could think of things that won't remind me But these days it's unbearable for both of us, We can't dicuss it this way I'm gaining strength, trying to learn to pull my own weight But I'm gaining pounds at the precipice of Too Late Just wait I could be good and I would- If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait- Or is it too little too late? Record and play, after years of endless rewind Yesterday wasn't half as tough as this time This time isn't Hell Last time, couldn't tell This mind wasn't well Next time, hope I'm...

Going to be good, and I would- If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait- Or is it too little too late?

Too Little Too Late -Barenaked Ladie(베어네이키드 레이디스)
You say "why does everything revolve around you?" You say, "why does everything I do confound you?" You say that I pulled the world from under you, You can't go through it this time I could be good, and I would- If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait- Or is too little too late? One day, This embarassment will fade behind me And that day I could think of things that won't remind me But these days it's unbearable for both of us, We can't dicuss it this way I'm gaining strength, trying to learn to pull my own weight But I'm gaining pounds at the precipice of Too Late Just wait I could be good and I would- If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait- Or is it too little too late? Record and play, after years of endless rewind Yesterday wasn't half as tough as this time This time isn't Hell Last time, couldn't tell This mind wasn't well Next time, hope I'm... Going to be good, and I would- If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait- Or is it too little too late?

Driving home to be with you
The highway's dividing, the city's in view As usual, I'm almost on time You're the last thing that's on my mind I wish I could tell you the way that I feel But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel No commotion, no screaming brakes Most of it's over before I awake From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips While out my window, the horizon does flips The worst part was hitting the ground - Not the feeling so much as the sound Can't help but wonder if all this is real Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel Rubberneck traffic and passersby And Slow Motion Walter the fire engine guy Stand around with their mouths open wide I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside With the Jaws of Life they tried and they tried Nobody here can know how I feel Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel I guess it's over now Cause I've never seen so much Never seen so much, never seen so much Never seen so much, never seen so much I guess it's over now Cause I've never seen so much Never seen so much, never seen so much Never seen so much, never seen so much So much blood In all the confusion, there's something serene I'm just a posthumous part of the scene Now I'm floating above looking in As the radio blares and wheels spin I can see my face slump with a grin And you...you're the last thing on my mind You're the last thing on my mind You're the last thing on my mind You're the last thing on my mind |

I never jumpted in and rescued you,
but I wanted to I didn't tell you which way to go, 'cause I thought you'd know You had a problem with your new found wealth, you brought it on yourself I never told you I told you so, but I told you so Have to let it go it's time to let it go Now I can't believe It took so long to leave Perhaps one day I'll grieve Or I never will I never told you I agreed with you I don't think I do I wasn't sure quite what the whole thing meant, but I'm glad you went I never thought that it could be painless, but it is I guess I had myself fooled into needing you, did I fool you too? Have to let it go it's time to let it go Now I can't believe It took so long to leave Perhaps one day I'll grieve Or I never will A viral infection that can incubate for years Caused by affection fallen deep into arrears No medication to procure Makes me pure, there's no cure, I am sure I never mentioned how I've prayed for you, and now I've paid for you I never said that I would wait for you, it's too late for you Have to let it go it's time to let it go Now I can't believe It took so long to leave Perhaps one day I'll grieve Or I never will |

This Is Where It Ends
I don't buy everything I read, I haven't even read everything I've bought. I don't cry every time I bleed, My eyes are dry, but they're bloodshot. I have faith in medication I believe in the Prozac Nation You play doctor, but I've lost patience Chorus: But this is where it ends This is where it ends Call the police and call the press But please, dear God, don't tell my friends This is where it ends This is where it ends Where's my pride? Where's my self-esteem? Does it show in the drinks I've bought? I don't hide every time I'm seen, but I try not to get caught. Make excuses for behaviour Can my illness be my saviour? Hid my heart while you still gave yours Chorus She says she wants to live in a movie I say I want someone else to stand behind me And write it all down 'cause I can't be bothered doing it myself. And I don't want the responsibility of proving it's importance. I have loved and I have waited Been picked up and been sedated mental health is overrated Chorus |

A friend brought me flowers, she said they were lilacs, But I've never been good with plants Her next presentation, a new dictionary She circled the word "romance" So enthusiastic, a little bit drastic, I shaved her name in my head As she beheld it, she said I misspelled it; Need more be said? (chorus) These apples are delicious! "As a matter of fact they are," she said Can all this fruit be free? She wrote me a letter as big as a phone book I've never been big on mail I sent her a postcard from somewhere near Lethbridge, And wondered if it still went by rail I've never been frightened of being enlightened But some things can go too far Though sometimes I stammer and mix up my grammar, You get what my meanings are (chorus) I'm not trying to sing a love song -- I'm trying to sing in tune I know I am sometimes headstrong Falling in love, catching fire -- I want to be consumed Wondering will I ever tire, will I ever tire?

Who's lonely now?
Which one of us is suffering? Who's in his cups? Which one of us recovering? Who likes to look at pictures and cries, but way too late? Who doesn't want to change a thing, accepting it was fate? * The wrong man was convicted You know I did the deed I thought that you would wait for me Your wants I needn't heed The wrong man lies beside you And waits for you to wake And all because I lacked conviction, The judgment's my mistake Who's breathless now? Who only hyperventilates? Who'd die for you! Who's dying inside anyway? Which one of us is sunshine and which one's growing dim? while two men dream of you at night, do you just dream of him? *Repeat Who's lonely now? Who's reaching out to no one? Who's lonely now? it takes one to know one I changed my mind; you said that I could change it back I wanted space, and now change has fallen through the cracks if I'm again beside your body, don't tell me where it's been it's cruel, unusual punishment to kiss fingerprinted skin *Repeat it's my mistake |

(Page/Robertson) Broke into the old apartment This is where we used to live Broken glass, broke and hungry broken hearts and broken bones This is where we used to live Why did you paint the walls? Why did you clean the floor? Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door? This is where we used to live Why did you keep the mousetrap? Why did you keep the dishrack? these things used to be mine I guess they still are, I want them back Broke into the old apartment Forty-two stairs from the street Crooked landing, crooked landlord Narrow laneway filled with crooks This is where we used to live Why did they pave the lawn? why did they change the locks? Why did I have to break it? I only came here to talk This is where we used to live How is the neighbor downstairs? How is her temper this year? I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun I know we don't live here anymore We bought an old house on the Danforth She loves me and her body keeps me warm I'm happy there But this is where we used to live Broke into the old apartment Tore the phone out of the wall Only memories, fading memories Blending into dull tableaux I want them back |

You know he's not the kind of man who likes to see the world around him
Crumble to a ball around his feet So he's always ready, he's always set, he's always well-prepared He's the most peculiar man you'd care to meet You know he's not the king of Bedside Manor He's not the Tom Jones who lives next door He's not the king of Bedside Manor He hardly even lives there anymore He says "excuse me I hope you don't mind that I followed you into this shop But I couldn't help but notice that riding crop Sticking out of your haversack Well I wouldn't mind riding you bareback" He's subtle on the dancefloor and he's suave around the bar He's a quick draw with a lighter, he's a pseudo movie star You know he was quite a singer, quite an actor quite some time ago He had quite a famous program, late night bedtime TV show You know he's not the king of Bedside Manor He's not the Tom Jones who lives next door He's not the king of Bedside Manor He hardly even lives there anymore Well, he opens up the curtains at the crack of dawn Just to see the lovely ladies who have come and gone From the house next door to his house on the lane He consoles himself that he's got his health and he knows he can't complain You know he's not the king of Bedside Manor He's not the Tom Jones who lives next door He's not the king of Bedside Manor He hardly even lives there anymore He's not the king of bedside manor He's not the king of bedside manor Hardly even lives there any more Styx!

When you walked in, I said with a grin
That we were just talking about you We all had to lie because you would cry If you knew we were laughing at you In the momentary lull before the band begins to play There's an overwhelming stench of alibi Come on now, now Come on now, now Enjoy the humour of the situation Come on now, now Come on now, now Enjoy the humour of the situation I said on the phone "don't wait til I'm home" But I'm sure I could hear you crying I said where I was, but you doubt it because It's the caller I.D. you're buying In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn Come on now, now Come on now, now Enjoy the humour of the situation Come on now, now Come on now, now Enjoy the humour of the situation Have you heard the one about the boy Who moved into the henhouse to sleep? He woke up with egg on his face When he found out all the hens had crossed the street Come on now, now Come on now, now Enjoy the humour of the situation Come on now, now Come on now, now Enjoy the humour of the situation As I walked out, I thought about all I had left behind me I felt a chill because I was still Wearing the emperor's new clothes My mind was racing with each chance that I had missed While your next door neighbour soaked be with the house I've never felt so small, I've never been so dissed As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes: Come on now, now Come on now, now Enjoy the humour of the situation |

The phone rings, it's early, it's seven o'clock
He says "sorry I woke you but I just had to talk You know last night, remember when I tried to choke you I didn't mean it, I was drunk, it was only a joke" You should know that by now When the checkered flag comes down No one, no one, no one has won the race The next night he's over and over and under And after he's finished, she lies there and wonders Just why does she need him, and why does she stay here And then in the darkness she'll quietly say "Dear You've never really known That when the white flag is flown No one, no one, no one has won the war" They're complicated people leading complicated lives And he complicates their problems by telling complicated lies He tells her he's sorry, she tells him it's over He tells her he's sorry, she says over and over "You've never really known That when the white flag is flown No one, no one, no one has, won the war" There goes a forest and there goes a bluebird There goes a partridge and there goes a Go train There goes an angel and there goes a steeple There goes a cop car and there goes an eagle There goes a raven and there go the ribbons There goes a raven and there go... The ribbons, the ribbons, the ribbons The ribbons of the flag |

I tend the wheat field that makes your bread. I bind the sweet veal, pluck the hens that make your bed. Mother Nature & Mother Earth Are two of three women who dictate what I'm worth Chorus: I'm the farmer. I work in the fields all day. Don't mean to alarm her, But I know it was meant to be this way. You cried a tear, I wiped it dry I put you up upon a pedestal so high if you should waiver, if you should sway I'd catch you, spread my tiny wings and fly away. You signed your picture with an O and X I bet you don't write "love" each time you sign your cheques. Chorus All of this corn I grow I grow it all for you I took a hatchet to the radio I did it all for you You could have written back, You could have said "Thank you" I guess you've got better things, better things to do. You say you love me, is that the truth? Although they've heard the songs, my friends want living proof. I know your address, I ring the bell I bring you flowers and a .22 with shells. I'm the farmer I work in the fields all day Never wanted to harm her But I know it was meant to be this way. |

Stomach vs. Heart
In through my veins, without brains, I involuntarily take what I need, then I bleed and it comes right back to me. But guts only eat and sometimes they repeat on you. Keeping you on your toes or crouched above the loo. That's what you get when you confuse your stomach with your heart. That's what you get when you confuse your stomach with your heart. Blood turns from blue into red 'cause of oxygen that it's fed and I turn back to blue, 'cause I'm losing you, but tummy just growls not real words, mostly vowels and I always forget sometimes Y Gratification can cause constipation if organs are left to die. That's what you get when you confuse your stomach with your heart. That's what you get when you confuse your stomach with your heart. I gained all this weight out of love, not hate I've got so much love to give (give me a break!) I'd love to sleep in late, but that dessert looks great. Was it something I said or was it some I ate? Heart beats in sync, beat in time, beat in bodies likes hers and mine, But I fed only one, and look what it's done; I've run out of blood and I'm chewing my cud and my gastrointestinal festival's best of all The cardiovascular questions they ask you are Less than the answers they give you like cancer and That's what you get when you confuse your stomach with your heart. That's what you get when you confuse your stomach with your heart. |

How could I be the one to blame? A whisper drizzled down from the ice in its eyes It said, "Try pickin' on your own damn size," But the Hoover was quick, termination complete In its bedroom home not a chance to eat In the corner beside my bed Very busy spinning thread Eight legs and a little head I hear the thunder from outside And the water's gettin' high I don't like moths and bugs They buzz, they get in the rugs But where does a guy find some room In this life raft home, a little rubber tomb There's a spider in my room There's a spider in my room In the corner beside my bed Very busy spinning thread Eight legs and a little head There's a spider in my room There's a spider in my room Spider Spider There's a spider in my Spider in my Spider in my |

One day I will build a fountain
Drink and never grow old Then I'll market an elixir that will eliminate the common cold Find your sickness on my list Pay up front and make a wish One day I will work with animals All the tests I'm gonna do All my stuff's completely natural And when we're done we'll boil 'em down for glue that we can use to re-adhere your lips to mine if you were here There's a lot I will never do Some fantastic, I know it's true But none as much as my want to be with you I can't stand to wait in line long So I built a new machine It just measures up the distance and then eliminates the folks between One day I'll construct a satellite and I'll name it after you 'Cause you were the greatest friend of all except for when you split my lip in two To see the look upon your face as I launch you into space There's a lot I will never do Some fantastic, I know it's true But none as much as my want to be with you Bye-bye self-respect I haven't had much of it since you left I missed out on the best of you Some day I will find the secret to your social chemistry Then I'll print it on a t-shirt and it'll make you want to be with me If I wear it past your work you'll see other guys are jerks Much like pheromones for flies you will not avoid my eyes There's a lot I will never do Some fantastic, I know it's true But none as much as my want to be with you Bye-bye self-respect I haven't had much of it since you left I missed out on the best of you |

The credits roll, the camera pans
And in the mist our hero stands He starts to speak, then folds his hands in prayer An awkward pause, then what's my line? There's nothing left to say this time And what would you say to a bad guy who's not there? In terms of Roman numberals, He's IV league with Roman Polanski He'd win an Oscar every time if he was only given the chance He started on the Broadway stage A product of another age, An offer and a pilot drew him west The series bombed, commercials came And though nobody knew his name They all recognized the potential he possessed Deodorants and dental floss And how much does that new car cost His acting was methodical in You Don't Need A Medical He's branded like a racing car, He's like a movie star with movies The week of Independence Day, The casting agent called to say Your smile could save our movie and the world Buy buy buy buy Sell sell sell How well you learn To not discern Who's foe and who is friend We'll own them all in the end It goes like this, we have no choice; the minarets, The wailing voice And vaguely Celtic music fills the air We choose a foreigner to hate, The new Iraq gets more irate We really know nothing about them, and no one cares Aladdin and the forty thieves Enhanced by brand new special effects Saddam and his cow disease spiced up With some gratuitous sex A movie's made, a war is won A low-speed chase, a smoking gun Distracts us while the actor takes the stand Buy buy buy buy Sell sell sell How well you learn To not discern Who's foe and who is friend We'll own them all in the end |

Everything's a lie
We're all going to die Before we say goodbye Let's attack I admit it's bleak But I give it a week Until our friends the meek Give it back Is it true? Well, it's true enough, I guess Join the chorus of the second best Second best Second best What's left of you that's real? A mutated ideal With limited appeal, I suggest If winning is an art Then it's drawn us apart When you erased your heart and beat your chest Is it you? Well, it's you enough, I guess You're an angel in a see-through dress Is it true? Yes, it's true enough I guess Sometimes it's better to be second best Second best Second best Perhaps it's just as well That I still look like hell At least the world can tell us apart Is it true?

Same Thing
What does it mean to wake out of a dream and be wearing some else's shorts? I've been around the block, at least on my bike I was prepared for the news but not for The Third World War I found me an answer, in a grocery store I found me an answer in the form of an old man with a cardigan on, this guy's got thirty years on me but he stops and smiles just to say "Hello, didn't I see you on TV?" Must've been the same thing Must've been the same thing Must've been the same thing Charlie Brown went through I'm in a comic store Lookin' for some mistakenly priced comic I could make A fortune on and in walks the Fantastic Four I say "don't go; That last issue was cool!" Must've been the same thing Must've been the same thing Must've been the same These things all end Who asked you anyway? You'll have to bend Who asked you anyway? I'm in a thunderstorm Staying out from under trees never holding Golf clubs, but still seem to be getting Struck by lightning... must be something in my veins My weathered veins Must've been the same thing |

With each mistake,
You either bend or break With every word I choose You only seem to bruise Powder blue always suited you, Or was your suitor too Until you're powder blue You're going off the deep end I'm going over all the things I've gotta say Apologies from my front door I couldn't love you more The bell was cracked Your senses sacked What once seemed civilized, In fear was paralyzed I made love blind, I lost my mind And now I'm over you As I'm not under you We thought we'd drive forever Now is it okay if I walk you to your car? Apologies, from your car floor I couldn't love you more I couldn't love you more I couldn't love you more Baby between you and me, love is all we need You held out your heart So I could watch it bleed I never thought you could ever fall Into my life, so banal But something so light shouldn't hurt ... at all Apologies, from my front door I couldn't love you more I couldn't love you more I couldn't love you more |

Somewhere far away from here I feel fine enough, I guess Considering everything's a mess There's a restaurant down the street Where hungry people like to eat I could walk but I'll just drive It's colder than it looks outside It's like a dream you try to remember But it's gone Then you try to scream But it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world Beyond your front door Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just to try to figure out what all this is for It's the perfect time of day To throw all your cares away Put the sprinkler on the lawn And run through with my gym shorts on Take a drink right from the hose And change into some drier clothes Climb the stairs up to my room Sleep away the afternoon Like a dream you try to remember But it's gone Then you try to scream But it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world Beyond your front door Take your time is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just to try to figure out what all this is for Pinch me, pinch me, cause I'm still asleep Please God tell me that I'm still asleep On an evening such as this It's hard to tell if I exist If I pack the car and leave this town You'll notice that I'm not around I could hide out under there I just made you say "underwear" I could leave but I'll just stay All my stuff's here anyway Like a dream you try to remember But it's gone Then you try to scream But it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world Beyond your front door Take your time is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just to try to figure out what all this is for Pinch me Try to figure out what all this is for Pinch me Try to see the world beyond your front door Pinch me Try to figure out what all this is for |

Cocked your head to one side and said "I'm angry" Five days since you laughed at me saying "get that together, come back and see me" Three days since the living room I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you Yesterday you'd forgiven me But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry Hold it now and watch the hoodwink As I make you stop, think You'll think you're looking at Aquaman I summon fish to the dish, Although I like the Chalet Suisse And I like the sushi 'cause it's never touched a frying pan Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes Big like LeAnn Rimes because I'm all about value Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits You try to match wits You try to hold me but i bust through Gonna make a break and take a fake I'd like a stinkin' achin' shake I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours Gotta see the show cause then you'll know The vertigo is gonna grow 'Cause it's so dangerous, you'll have to sign a waiver How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad Tryin hard not to smile though I feel bad I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral Can't understand what I mean? well you soon will I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve I have a history of takin off my shirt It's been one week since you looked at me Threw your arms in the air and said "You're crazy" Five days since you tackled me I've still got the rug burns on both my knees It's been three days since the afternoon You realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon Yesterday you'd forgiven me And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry Chickety china, the chinese chicken Have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin' Watchin X-Files with no lights on, We're dans la maison I hope the smoking man's in this one Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic Like Sting I'm tantric like Snickers guaranteed to satisfy Like Kurasawa I make mad films Okay I don't make films but if I did they'd have a Samurai Gonna get a set a' better clubs Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs just so my irons aren't always flying off the backswing Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon 'Cause the cartoon has got the boom anime babes that make me think the wrong thing. How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad Tryin hard not to smile though I feel bad I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral Can't understand what I mean? You soon will I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve I have a history of losing my shirt It's been one week since you looked at me Dropped your arms to your sides and said "I'm sorry" Five days since I laughed at you and said "You just did just what I thought you were gonna do" Three days since the living room We realized we're both to blame, but what could we do? Yesterday you just smiled at me 'Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry Still be two days till we say we're sorry Still be two days till we say we're sorry Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie |

It was a recipe for disaster
A four course meal of no siree It seemed that happily ever after Was happy everyone was after me It was a cup of good intentions A tablespoon of one big mess A dash of over reaction I assume you know the rest One little slip, One little slip It was a fusion of confusion With a few confounding things I guess I probably took the wrong direction Well I admit I might have missed a sign or two I ran a light past your affection At Humiliation Avenue Took a right turn at confusion A left when I shoulda gone straight on through I ran ahead with my assumptions We all know what that can do One little slip, One little slip It was a fusion of confusion With a few confounding things I get the feeling in this town I'll never live till I live down the one mistake that seems to follow me around But they'll forget about the sky When they all realize guy's about to try to learn to fly or hit the ground It was a cup of good intentions A tablespoon of one big mess A dash of over reaction I assume you know the rest One little slip, One little slip It was a humble little stumble With a big ungraceful… One little slip, One little slip It was a fusion of confusion With a few confounding things |

All around the room your things are placed
And next to you he fills the space And so it seems your saving grace is only saving face The pictures of the two of you on holiday, on honeymoon You thought that he was wanting you, But he was only wanting you to Let him off the hook He was your imaginary friend, You were partners til the end Then something bends, and then it breaks, your worst mistake Accepting enemies on bended knees; a litany of tragedies, You're vexed, it seems you're hexed and after sex he expects You'll let him off the hook til Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you Shaken while he stirred. When you awaken you will Make him eat his words right off the hook Hook and line, every time The credit card receipts, the dirty sheets The souvenirs of men who cheat It all makes sense - with each offense You wanted to believe him He could get away with murder one, And you would clean the smoking gun With every crime, you bought each line, But not this time, you'll make him Eat his words cause Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you Shaken while he stirred When you awaken you will Make him eat his, make him eat his Words while he's alone, Cause you won't be around and From now on the phone stays off the hook Hook and line, everytime Hook and line, everytime |

You can always get it right next time, next time You can always get it right next time You can count on me to mess it up You can count on me to let you down again And in time you'll see that I'm your only friend CHORUS (x2) Comfort in community obliterated Given opportunity I hesitated Even my humility's humiliated CHORUS (x2) Next time, next time When you die they make a list of every love you never kissed Of each regret and each mistake Every choice you'll fail to make Oh well...

I didn't ask to be famous, but I'm not sore
'Cause you can see my face in the window of every store You can buy my lunchbox, and you can wear my clothes You can remember my name just as plain as the face under your nose I'm a New Kid on the Block Though I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach So we may not write the songs we sing But look at Elvis, he sold his soul and you crowned him King I didn't ask to be famous, but I'm not sad You see, I've got everything that I always wished I had I thank my managers and I thank the screaming girls I thank my hairdresser for giving me such beautiful curls Now I'm a New Kid on the Block Well I'm twenty-three and they won't let me grow up I went down to register fot the draft Well I got up to the counter and the lady there just laughed She said "you're a New Kid on the Block Young girls scream and old boys mock Well you broke my youngest daughter's heart Well I knew you kids were trouble from the start" I didn't ask to be famous, but I'm not sure That we're as apple pie as you always thought we were I can stay up all night, and I can have a blast I can breakdance, I can fight, I can kick your sorry ass I'm a New Kid on the Block, And though I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach There's no need to be afraid of us Though it just might be your daughter on our bus. |

What, am I to wake up suddenly and then
enroll at the local college and earn me a degree And I could work weekends? if I've worked real hard I could mow your back yard I can go to Europe travel with my friends I can blow a thousand deutsche marks to get drunk in a pub with some Australians. Buy a giant backpack sew a flag on the back I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough) I never have to do that stuff I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough) You never have to do that stuff I never had to spend a summer planting trees I never worked my way through a forest inch by inch doubled over on my hands and knees. I never spent a single day in retail telling people what they want to hear telling people anything to make a sale. Eating in the food court with the old and the bored I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough) I never have to do that stuff I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough) You never have to do that stuff The worlds your oyster shell So what's that funny smell You eat the bivalve anyway And you're sick with salmonella You get your Ph.D. How happy you will be When you get a job at Wendy's And are honored with employee of the month I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough) I never have to do that stuff I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough) You never have to do that stuff |

Wiped out down the stairs
I'll bet you there's a song in there I'm not sure I'm prepared to write it down That guy should be me I'd look much better on t.v. Then the world would see That I can do anything I can be that But soon you'll see that I will never do anything Let's play tic tac toe I'll play X, you can be the O. Thoughts of turning pro Have crossed my mind I could make a mint Fill my pockets with more than lint I'll give you a hint It involves the "internet" I can be that But soon you'll see that I will never do anything I can be that But soon you'll see that I will never do anything Don't write me off as an also ran Just mark me down as an angry man Got a big chip, you want a fat lip? How 'bout a mouthful of Chiclets? Life passed me by, but it's not my fault I'll lick my wounds, could you pass the salt? I can be that, but soon you'll see that I will never do anything If I were the king All my subjects they would dance and sing They could kiss my ring And kiss my ass When I'm old and grey I'll look back on my life and say "Give me one more day, And I'll still never do anything." I can be that but soon you'll see that I will never do anything I can be that But soon you'll see that I will never do anything I can be that But soon you'll see that I will never do anything I can be that But soon you'll see that I will never do anything |

A Hydro-field cuts through my neighborhood
Somehow that always just made me feel good I can put a spare bulb in my hand And light up my yard Late at night when the wires in the walls Sing in tune with the din of the falls I'm conducting it all while I sleep To light this whole town If you question what I would do To get over and be with you Lift you up over everything To light up my room There's a shopping cart in the ravine The foam on the creek is like pop and ice cream A field full of tires that is always on fire To light my way home There are luxuries we can't afford But in our house we never get bored We can dance to the radio station That plays in our teeth If you question what I would do To get over and be with you Lift you up over everything To light up my room A Hydro-field cuts through my neighborhood Somehow that always just made me feel good I can put a spare bulb in my hand And light up my yard Light up my yard Lights in my yard Light up my yard |

Look at my mouth, a thin painted line Look at my limbs, bent up and bundled in twine Forever, ever mine Form of a tree, shape of a child I wish I could cry, stuck in a permanent smile Forever, ever mine Chorus: I know you must have loved me sometime But now I'm just a toy I know you must have loved me sometime But now I'm just a toy First there was me, nothing but time Till he came along, you told me you'd always be mine Forever, ever mine Look at his face, somewhat like mine But look at his nose, you can always be sure that he's lying Forever, ever mine Chorus Who needs you A boy-to-be who Needs to be Better than him, worthy of you Given the chance that he had, I know what I'd do Forever, ever mine I call him liar, you call him son if I could move, I'd set him on fire and I'd run forever Chorus |

Jane I'd bring her gold and frankincense and myrrh She thought that I was making fun of her She made me feel I was fourteen again That's why she thinks it's cooler if we'd just stay friends Jane... doesn't think a man could ever be faithful Jane... isn't giving me a chance to be shameful Jane... Jane I wrote a letter, she should have got it yesterday That life could be better by being together Is what I cannot explain to Jane The girl works at the store, sweet Jane St. Clair Still dazzled by her smile while I shoplift there No promises as vague as heaven No Juliana next to my Evan Jane... desired by the people at her school and work Jane... is tired 'cause every man becomes a lovesick jerk Jane... Jane |

I met you before the fall of Rome
and I begged you to let me take you home You were wrong, I was right You said goodbye, I said goodnight * It's all been done It's all been done It's all been done before I knew you before the west was won and I heard you say the past was much more fun You go your way, I go mine but I'll see you next time * Repeat And if I put my fingers here, and if I say 'I love you, dear' And if I play the same three chords, Will you just yawn and say * Repeat Alone and bored on a 30th century night. Will I see you on the price is right? Will I cry? Will I smile? As you run down the aisle. * Repeat |

I met you before the fall of Rome
And I begged you to let me take you home You were wrong, I was right You said "Goodbye" I said "Goodnight" It's all been done, It's all been done, It's all been done before. I knew you before the west was won And I heard you say the past was much more fun You go your way, I go mine But I'll see you next time It's all been done, It's all been done, It's all been done before. If I put my fingers here And if I say "I love you, dear" And if I play the same three chords Will you just yawn and say It's all been done, It's all been done, It's all been done before. Alone and bored on a thirtieth century night Will I see you on "The Price is Right" Will I cry Will I smile As you run down the aisle It's all been done, It's all been done, It's all been done before It's all been done, It's all been done, It's all been done It's all been done, It's all been done, It's all been done before |

from Barenaked Ladies - Maybe You Should Drive (1994)
Someone somewhere has unglued our epoxy
And now I'm kissing you by proxy Hope you don't mind Somewhere someone is dreaming of me Tries to love me, hope you don't mind I love you intermittently I love you intermittently She's a lot like you but she don't look like you Okay, she's not you But she'll do fine I got my life on hold just to avoid confrontation But should I tell you to your face and Risk my hide? I love you intermittently I love you intermittently When immeasurably Turns to intermittently There's no use in going on Except for fear of being wrong Every morning I just hit the ground yawning... Stick around if you enjoy disaster 'Cause if you can't see what I'm after You must be blind I love you intermittently I love you intermittently Didn't have the heart to say goodbye So I continued in my charlatan ways Did I say heart? I meant to say guts Now I'm on my own and I'm sorry that you're gone |

In the Drink
Chorus: I'm in the drink for love And want to drink your love Swimmin' a swim in the suds I want to drink your blood Up like a rocket, down like the rain Back and forth like a choo-choo train I have a secret that just won't keep All I wanna do is brush your teeth Butterfly kisses And the taste of delicious I'd like to sip the sap from your tree And the honey in the tea Dripping amber drips Patiently Chorus I'm in the drink for love And want to drink your love Squishin' toes in the mud I want to drink your blood Caught a snowflake on my tongue A feathery crystal in the flavour of gum Dropping clouds fallin' fast Are you going to try some while they last? Once the birds have migrated Come Spring twitter painted Up the river, I journey on 'Cause this salmon is ready to spawn if you have some swimming lessons it would make it easier Chorus |
