Canada Dry lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
We were shining like Aurora Borealis
Like Sid sipping from the Stanley chalice
Balling in a bus across the USA
Dumb enough to think that it would stay that way
Lounging in the living room in long johns
More distant than Victoria to St. John's
Trying to use a record to repair my heart
I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to start again
My friend
You're leaving me high and Canada dry
I'm out of your head and I'm losing my mind
Listening to Neil is making me cry
You're leaving me high and Canada dry
Sinking like a Saskatoon sunset
Thinking that we had it from the outset
Tommy said that life was a highway, dear
But I became the road kill when you oversteered
Oh why, oh why?
You're leaving me high and Canada dry
I'm out of your head and I'm losing my mind
Now listening to Joni's making me cry
You're leaving me high and Canada dry
High
You fled the snow, while I stayed here
I'll let you know, I'll make it clear
How happy I appear
High and Canada Dry
I'm out of your head and I'm losing my mind
Listening to Gordie is making me cry
You're leaving me high
You're leaving me high
You're leaving me high
And Canada dry
High and Canada dry
Bringing It Home lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
It's not a Cinderella story
It's not an overnight success
Where everybody expects unlikely outcomes
And I'm just somewhere in the mess
It's not an underdog sensation
Or a movie of the week
Anybody involved from the beginning
Knows it's not just a lucky streak
I'm bringin it home
Forever After
It's in our bones. Hey!
Stay at the house
'Cause we're bringing it home. Oh!
We raised the rafters
We made Rome. Hey!
We bagged it up and we're bringin it home
It's not a simple right of passage
Where you just follow every step
Somebody took every single roadmap
And there just wasn't any left
So we found our own direction
Made our way to everyone
And now we look back on every misstep
And wonder how we got it done
I'm bringin it home
Forever After
It's in our bones. Hey!
Stay at the house 'cause we're bringing it home. Oh!
We raised the rafters
We made Rome. Hey!
We bagged it up and we're bringin it home
I'm the quickest of the fast draws
Stick it making slack jaws
Last of the last straws
Slippin til the ice thaws
Swimming when it's ice cold
Brimmin' with the big bowl
Flavor never waiver
Put the life in the Lifesaver
Never ever let down
Good to get down
Freaky like antiquey-d?
I'm gonna make you my clown
All's well that ends well
Glad like in Gladwell
Days after Days Inn
I put my 10k's in (Yep!)
Forever After
It's in our bones. Hey!
Stay at the house
'Cause we're bringin it home. Oh!
We raised the rafters
We made Rome. Hey!
We bagged it up and we're bringin it home. Oh!
Forever After
It's in our bones. Hey!
Stay at the house
'Cause we're bringin it home. Oh!
We raised the rafters
We made Rome. Hey!
We bagged it up and we're bringin it home
We bagged it up and we're bringin it home
Invisible Fence lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Barenaked Ladies
I heard you built an invisible fence
What about us, what about your friends
Its difficult not to take offence
When you're running intonan invisible fence
An invisible (invisible fence)
An invisible fence (an invisible fence)
An invisible (invisible fence)
Invisible, invisible
Some people just wanna build more walls
Thinking there's no hope, no peace at all
But building them comes at a great expense
Whether it is in your mind or wet cement
An invisible (invisible fence)
An invisible fence (an invisible fence)
An invisible (invisible fence)
Invisible, invisible
Invisible (invisible fence)
An invisible fence (an invisible fence)
Invisible (invisible fence)
I'll listen to that bird
I'll listen to that song bird
I'll listen to that bird
That sings for the peace of world
That sings for the peace of world
Yeah sure that we may have variance
Like colour of skin or the way we dance
And at end of the day we're not different
And we gotta break down the invisible fence
An invisible (invisible fence)
An invisible fence (an invisible fence)
An invisible (invisible fence)
Invisible, invisible
Lookin' Up lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Some people wanna take a high dive into a drink
Some people wanna watch the world swirl into the sink
Why would you argue is the glass half full? It's a mess
I drank the first half; you can drink the rest
Hey!
One foot on the pedal
One hand on the wheel
Don't know where I'm headed
But it starts right here
Everywhere I go is home
Every town and every road
Every song I've ever known
Carried in my bones
I feel like a lightening strike
Every time I rock the mic
You can join me if you'd like
Or I'll go on my own
I'm lookin' up
I'm lookin' up
All the way up
I'm lookin' up
All the way
Look at me now. I think you'd find it hard to believe
Back in my yearbook voted least likely to succeed
You go and worry 'bout the things you can't control
I'ma see the doughnut; you can see the hole
Everywhere I go is home
Every town and every road
Every song I've ever known
Carried in my bones
I feel like a lightening strike
Every time I rock the mic
You can join me if you'd like
Or I'll go on my own
I'm lookin' up
I'm lookin' up
All the way up
I'm lookin' up
All the way up
Everywhere I go is home
Every town and every road
Every song I've ever known
Carried in my bones
I feel like a lightening strike
Every time I rock the mic
You can join me if you'd like
Or I'll go on my own
I'm lookin' up
I'm lookin' up
All the way up
I'm lookin' up
All the way up
Sunshine lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Most of us, have learned to trust
What we see with our own eyes
But with blinders on you hardly realize
That out of view, it's still true
Even when no one's around
We can stumble and fall down
Sunshine burns your skin
Sometimes the things we love so much just eat us up from the outside in
Oceans blue will drown
I could find a way to live with your ghost but I won't be happy till I leave this town.
It's just as well, It's hard to tell
Cause my hindsight's crystal clear
But the view from then's not like the view from here
If you are passed through a looking glass
The important parts appear
But the details start to smear
Sunshine burns your skin
Sometimes the things we love so much just eat us up from the outside in
Oceans blue will drown
I could find a way to live with your ghost but I won't be happy till I leave this town.
When I leave this town, I move the point of view I found
Sun seems to go down, but it just burns while we all spin around
I ran fast, but I came last
'Cause although I set the pace
It was rigged from the start that I'd lose this race
Gone and done
Before it had begun
Seems the cup's half full till its overflowed
Then you run and run till your heart explodes
Sunshine burns your skin
Sometimes the things we love so much just eat us up from the outside in
Oceans blue will drown
I could find a way to live with your ghost but I won't be happy till I leave this town.
(Sunshine)
I won't be happy till I leave this town (Sunshine)
Won't be happy till I leave this town
Dusty Rooms lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
I spend too much time
In these dirty, dusty rooms
Places with the flickering signs
And the dirty, dusty rooms
Is it unfair
To want fresh air?
Is it such a crime?
The window is locked
The bed is wrapped
I feel like I'm doing time
Dial 9 for an outside line
In a dirty, dusty room
I found an old wedge of lime
In a dirty, dusty room
On TV
Hey it's Mr. T
Man, his jewelry shines
He's so cool
And he pities the fools
Who waste their precious time
Wasting precious time
In a dirty, dusty room
There's a loud and leaking fan
In a dirty, dusty room
And all of the rock and roll bands
In their dirty, dusty rooms
Hey there Jim
Where have you been?
How do you make the time fly?
Down at the gym
Stretching my limbs
Like a tree by the riverside
Like a tree by the riverside
Not a dirty, dusty room
Dial 8 for a really weird time
In a dirty, dusty room
I gave in
I went for a spin
And know what did I find?
A little tin
Full of tarantula skin
And a house full of butterflies
A house full of butterflies
Not a dirty, dusty room
Allons-y mes amis
We're making it out alive
Allons-y mes amis
It's checkout time
It's time to say goodbye
To our dirty, dusty rooms
We all spend too much time
In these dirty, dusty rooms
I spend too much time
In these dirty, dusty rooms
We Took The Night lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
We took the night
We chased the moon
We watched the skylight
I chased you
Hanging on for a chance
Hanging out, hanging in
In a shadow, in a glance
My memory, spins
We took the night
I keep it still
In the blue light
Warm from the chill
And we were lost in time
It never mattered, it never will
Broken, scattered
We took the night
We chased the moon
We watched the skylight
I chased you
Run blind, run fast
Too far and you've gone
I watched as you passed
And you keep running on
We took the night
I keep it still
In the blue light
Warm from the chill
Warm from the chill
We chased the moon
I chased you
Navigate lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Can't get lost 'cause I can navigate by stars
I can build you a lean-to, keep you warm and dry till dawn
What's the cost, of trying to find out who we are
Maybe we didn't mean to but still we got it going on
Up north, well off the highway away from the noise and lights
Wild sounds, as hard as they try, they can't contain themselves for the night
Hold still, try to pretend that there's no reason we'd ever go back
It's home and I will defend it
Can't get lost 'cause I can navigate by stars
I can build you a lean-to, keep you warm and dry till dawn
What's the cost, trying to find out who we are
Maybe we didn't mean to but still we got it going on
Drift on, don't try to attach this, don't dare try to get it to stop
Deep blue is fading to blackness, sink, and the temperature drops
No ride on the horizon, feels like you're floating in space
No time, no hesitation
I can't get lost 'cause I can navigate by stars
I can build you a lean-to, keep you warm and dry till dawn
What's the cost, trying to find out who we are
Maybe we didn't mean to but still we got it going on, and on, and on
Flying Dreams lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
If you could walk, if you could talk
Where would you go, what would you say to me?
I love the sound of you movin' around
Laughin' and dreamin' next to me
But I'll never know what you see
I hope it's a flying dream
Over fields, houses and hills
Over hospitals, shopping malls and ravines
Over walls, transcending it all
Love finds itself right where it longs to be
And I'll never know what you see
I hope it's a flying dream
You center me, you help me to see
What is important and what I should just let be
To blow away on garbage day
With candy rappers and cigarette packages
Through the dark days, the hard careens
Longing for flying dreams
There's no more leaves, the raindrops freeze
And glisten like teardrops in the the trees
Sink or swim, still sinking in
I've been swimming deep in the blues these days
Ever since fate intervened
And took away my flying dreams
Flying dreams
Flying dreams
Nobody Better lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Tryin' to make amends
Not just making friends
It means politely ends
And we make a mess
I try to comprehend
Not broken but well bent
I swear I did my best
Don't believe I know
Don't believe I've fallen in line
Tell me does it show
Wherever I go you'll be on my mind
There's nobody better, forever and ever
I'll weather this with you
Hiding all the wrong, trying to carry on
Make believe the song can make it work
Wanting to belong, I knew it all along
See it wasn't worth it
Don't believe I know
Don't believe I've fallen in line
Tell me does it show
Wherever I go you'll be on my mind
There's nobody better, forever and ever
I'll weather this with you
If I close my eyes, I see it every time
If I close my eyes, I see it every time
I don't believe I know
Don't believe I've fallen in line
Sp tell me does it show
Wherever I go you'll be on my mind
There's nobody better, forever and ever
I'll weather this with you
There's nobody better
Bag Of Bones lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Big dogs, barking dogs
Biting dogs, big dogs
Barking dogs, biting dogs
Now I know and now I can see
It was a joke, it was our mean
Up in smoke and lost in a fog
And everything has gone to the dust
Big dogs, barking dogs, biting dogs
Big dogs, barking dogs, biting dogs
Hey Mrs Jones, I saw you last week
Walking your dog way down the street
You said you feel, lost I know what it's like
When the blind lead the blind into the night
Memories of scenery are floating in my head
All I want is everything to be alright again and then
I'll bring back my bag of bones
Rain falling down, I walk to the park
I still hear the dogs but it's getting dark
Up in smoke and lost in a fog
And everything has gone to the dust
Big dogs
Big dogs
Big dogs
Big dogs
Memories of scenery are floating in my head
All I want is everything to be alright again and then
I'll bring back my bag of bones
Bag of bones (bring back)
Bag of bones (bring back)
My bag of bones (bring back)
In a back road (bring back)
Bring it back (bring back)
Bring it back
You + Me Vs The World lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
If I was stuck inside a burning building
I'd wanna be there with you
The final seconds of a thrilling ending
Know we'd Macguyver it through
Cause when I'm with you
I've got no need to be afraid
Despite what they do
You know we always get away
Throw us in any compromised position
Stand back and watch what we do
It's you and me against The World
There's no white flags when you're my girl
It's you and me against The World
And it won't stand a chance
No matter what the circumstance
If I was blown out of the airlock with you
Into the vacuum of space
A gravity assisted slingshot
We'd do an interstellar embrace
So, bring on the fire swamp
We're never giving up
I'll be your Wesley, you'll be my Buttercup
It's you and me against The World
There's no white flags when you're my girl
It's you and me against The World
And it won't stand a chance
No matter what the circumstance
The World looks in our eyes
Can't help but realize
This is not a it's gonna win
It's throwing in the towel and giving in
It's you and me against The World
There's no white flags when you're my girl
It's you and me against The World
There's no white flags when you're my girl
Just you and me against The World
You and me against The World
And it won't stand a chance
No matter what the circumstance
20/20 Hindsight lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
If you don't mind, it won't take long
I'm gonna stand up here and sing my song
I wanna dedicate it to my friends
From the very beginning to the end
I'm not a hostage to regret
But so many times I can't forget
If I could get back to those days
I know what to do, I know what to say
I barely knew my up from down
Or my left from right
Everything is clearer now
In hindsight
Twenty-twenty hindsight
Me and Sylvie and Silent Sam
We were sittin' so long, it never ends
I wish we could get together again
And we could laugh and play like we did back then
Sometimes I wander to that road
That I turned off of so long ago
I sit and wonder where it goes
And what different story might've been told
If I never said "I love you"
Then I'm saying it tonight
Everything is clearer now
In hindsight
Twenty-twenty hindsight
Twenty-twenty hindsight
Twenty-twenty hindsight
(Here's to the good friends in my life)
Twenty-twenty hindsight
Twenty-twenty
The Township Of King lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
She's lived alone in a little home
By the Township of King
In the morning she'd feed the birds
And listen to them sing
From the words they flock to her
Knowing she would do no harm
Flying over the patchwork quilt
Of the fields and the farms
Of the fields and farms, oh yeah
Then one day a yellow bird
Landed on her hand
Devoted, it sang to her
So that she could understand
It warned of the trucks coming up the road
Full of concrete and steel
Come to cut down all the trees
And pave over the field
Oh oh oh
Come come, the sky is grey
Come come, we'll find a way
They were building an amusement park
Where the forest once did stand
With gypsum built a mountain
And they'll call it Wonderland
I will feed you and care for you
Until you are strong and tall
And I will climb upon your back
And we'll fly away in the fall
We'll fly away, fly away
Come come, the sky is grey
Come come, we'll find a way
Then one day they flew away
And it was the strangest thing
To watch them all fly as she waved goodbye
To the Township of King
To the Township of King, oh yeah

Get Back Up lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
I'm a little bit worse for wear
Got a little bit more grey hair
I'm not gonna be the next big thing
But I'm getting fitted for a new brass ring
I've been dunked, I've been kicked around
Now I'm ready for the big rebound
I know you can't win them all
But I'm swingin' like Pitt gettin' hits in Moneyball
Get back, get back up
You gotta get back, get back up
You got a whole stadium on their feet
It's not about a victory or a defeat
See you gotta get back, get back up
You gotta get back, get back up
Not everything is sink or swim
You can't fly if the air's too thin
The best part of the ride is the free fall
Better keep your arms and legs in the vehicle
Standing eight and I'm on the ropes
Knees givin' but I won't lose hope
Not the second coming of Muhammad Ali
But can I get a "WOOT" for the boxing imagery?
Get back, get back up
You gotta get back, get back up
You got a whole stadium on their feet
It's not about a victory or a defeat
See you gotta get back, get back up
You gotta get back, get back up
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Get back, get back up
You gotta get back, get back up
You got a whole stadium on their feet
It's not about a victory or a defeat
See you gotta get back, get back up
You gotta get back, get back up
Everybody's up on their feet
It's not about a victory or a defeat
See you gotta get back, get back up
You gotta get back, get back up
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Here Before lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Try putting on a brave face,
While everything is giving way,
Night can undercut riverbank knowing that you might go swimming,
But it doesn't matter anyway.
Try to look at my reflection,
You see it's getting bigger fast,
By the time it looks lifesize I'll be soaking wet wondering how
I ended up on my ass.
And I've been here before,
I don't need to go back anymore,
I've been here before
And I don't need to go back anymore.
I'm thought of moving on the wrong side
But maybe it's the wrong bed
You can get tangled up and be arrested trying landing on your feet
And still wind up landing on your head.
So when you try to make it look good,
Like it was what you wanted all along.
Never thought you would wind up finding out nothing was quite
As you took for granted all along.
I've been here before,
And I don't mean to go back anymore,
I've been here before,
And I don't need to go back anymore.
Why would I fall back into this shit-storm?
I mean, what went wrong?
Why would I get it all over me?
Maybe I'll squeeze back into this suit I paid way too much for.
'Cos you can feel bad these days for free!
(Middle Eight)
I've been here before,
And I don't mean to go back anymore,
I've been here before,
And I don't need to go back anymore.
I've been here before.
I've been here before.
I've been here before.
Don't need to go back anymore.
I've been here before,
I've been here before,
And I don't need to go back anymore,
'Cos I've been here before.
Matter Of Time lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Time heals when both wheels
Slide off the shoulder
The car flips, your heart skips
And I'm sad and sober
I forfeit
To you for the moment
Swore this
Wasn't gonna go bent
More fits
Guess it was a matter of time
At war with anything and anyone
That you're with
I really got to hand it to you
For this
I guess it was a matter of time
I guess it was a matter of time
Time flies
And goodbyes
Pile up behind you
You release
You make peace
They come back to find you
I forfeit
To you for the moment
Swore this
Wasn't gonna go bent
More fits
Guess it was a matter of time
At war with anything and anyone
That you're with
I really got to hand it to you
For this
I guess it was a matter of time
I guess it was a matter of time
Was it just a matter of time? (time, time, time)
Maybe it was all in your mind (time, time, time)
Tell me was that over the line? (time)
'Cause everybody's doin' just fine (time, time)
I forfeit
To you for the moment
Swore this
Wasn't gonna go bent
More fits
Guess it was a matter of time
We're at war with anything and anyone
That you're with
I really got to hand it to you
For this
I guess it was a matter of time
I guess it was a matter of time
I guess it was a matter of time
I guess it was a matter of time
(More fits)
(Swore this)
(Forfeit, time)
I guess it was a matter of time
(Forfeit)
(You're this)
(For this time, time)
I guess it was a matter of time
Duct Tape Heart lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
It was in pieces 'til this adhesive
Stuck it together, now it beats again
It's working alright, and it looks tight
A little miracle I recommend
I could use another roll, another roll
I could use another roll right now
Stop messing with my Duct Tape Heart
Your best won't make it fall apart
Because I'll always have enough, enough
For when I gotta tape it up, it up
Stop messing with my Duct Tape Heart
‘Cause no one's ever gonna tear that thing apart
A million uses, you know the truth is
There isn't any heart that it can't fix
When you wear through one, just make a new one
And make a wallet out of extra bits
I could use another roll, another roll
I could use another roll right now
Stop messing with my Duct Tape Heart
Your best won't make it fall apart
Because I'll always have enough, enough
For when I gotta tape it up, it up
Stop messing with my Duct Tape Heart
‘Cause no one's ever gonna tear that thing apart
Woo-ooh hoo, woo-ooh hoo!
Woo-ooh hoo, woo-ooh hoo!
Woo-ooh hoo, woo-ooh hoo!
Woo-ooh hoo, woo-ooh!
Polyethylene coated pressure-sensitive tape
It's tried, it's true, nothing it can't do
Fixed the fender on the rover that was left on the moon
It's good enough for you
Stop messing with my Duct Tape Heart
Your best won't make it fall apart
Because I'll always have enough, enough
For when I gotta tape it up, it up
Stop messing with my Duct Tape Heart
Your best won't make it fall apart
Because I'll always have enough, enough
For when I gotta tape it up, it up
Stop messing with my Duct Tape Heart
You know you're never gonna tear that thing apart
Woo-ooh hoo, woo-ooh hoo!
Woo-ooh hoo, woo-ooh hoo!
Woo-ooh hoo, woo-ooh hoo!
Woo-ooh!
Say What You Want lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Say what you want
'Cause I can't hear you anyway
Go where you will
I won't steer you or lead you either way
Did you just fail to mention
That maybe I can make you smile again?
Make you smile and after a while, say
Did I just get your attention?
Did you notice that I changed my style and then
Made me smile, but it's not my style
Still say what you want
'Cause I can't hear you anyway
Go where you will
I won't steer you or lead you either way
Did you lose your medication
Or did you just want to be with me again?
I'll set you free, now let me be
This has been an education
Every bit of its reminding me of them
Reminding me there is no "we"
Now say what you want
'Cause I can't hear you anyway
Go where you will
I won't steer you or lead you either way
I've been running through the timelines
Picturing the headlines, but from memory
You weren't even in the room then
Is it safe to just assume then
You won't make an ass of me, well
Say what you want
'Cause I can't hear you anyway
Go where you will
I won't steer you or lead you either way (I won't lead you either way)
(I won't lead you either way)
I won't steer you or lead you either way (I won't lead you either way)
Passcode lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
You know the passcode to my heart
You push the buttons that make it start, beating (beating)
When ever we are far apart
You send a message that makes me so happy, happy
Happy, just to be alive
With you on my side, hey
You are the love of my life
You turn the key that makes me drive
You make me feel alive inside, thank you, yea thank you
Cause you know the passcode to my heart
You push the buttons that make it start beating, beating
Beating, like a carnival drum
Like the midday sun, hey
You are the love of my life
As the days go by (as the days go by)
All problems disolve (all problems disolve)
But when you're around they all disolve, disolve, disolve, disolve, disolve, disolve, disolve
Happy, just to be alive
With you on my side, hey
You are the love of my life
You know the passcode to my heart
You push the buttons that make it start, beating, beating, beating...
Hold My Hand lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Why don't you hold my hand?
We're taking one step forward but we're always going back to the start.
Why don't you hold my hand?
Maybe we got much better at looking at the other's heart.
When you go down, when you go down,
I'll be right there with you.
And when you come round, when you come round,
I'll let you know how I missed you.
Why don't you hold my hand?
We've got a lot more keeping us together then keeping us apart.
Why don't you hold my hand?
It's just a simple question it's not meant to be conceptual art.
When you go down, when you go down,
I'll be right there with you.
And when you come round, when you come round,
I'll let you know how I was missing you.
Sometimes I don't know what to do,
But I'm still right here next you.
I don't know what to do
But I'll be coming through.
When you go down, when you go down,
I'll be right there with you.
And when you come round, when you come round,
I'll let you know how I was missing you.
Sometimes I don't know what to do,
But I'm still right here next you.
I don't know what to do
But I'll be coming through.
Narrow Streets lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Narrow streets
Houses all in rows
Front porch seats
Watchin' people go
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-ohhhhh wah-oh
And in between
Dundas and Queen
Get off that strong
Spread the blankets on the lawn
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-ohhhhh wah-oh
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-ohhhhh
I think that we
Could do better if we weren't apart
I think that we couldn't find a better place to start
Than in this downtown neighborhood
Held together by nails and wood
Where the old folks take their time, I wanna make good time with you
And in the lane
Rusty garage doors
There's a hockey game
And that kid's freaking out 'cause he scored
Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh-ohhhhh, oh-oh-ohhhhh
Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh-ohhhhh
I think that we
Could do better if we weren't apart
I think that we couldn't find a better place to start
Than in this downtown neighborhood
Held together by nails and wood
Where the old folks take their time, I wanna make good time with you
I wanna climb the roof with you
I wanna walk the laaaaaaane with you
Toe To Toe lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
I'm convinced that I am stronger when standing in one place
Just sometimes I don't have the choice
There are instances when I no longer see your face
But I can plainly hear your voice
So we go
Toe to toe
Never knowing what our cards were
Even though
Blow by blow
We can not let down our guard
We should know
That if we show
Just a small amount of kindness
Then we won't go
Toe to toe
Anymore
Love's a gamble they say you can win the lottery
It depends on what you bet
There's a body of water dividing you and me
I'm not afraid of getting wet
So we go
Toe to toe
Never knowing what our cards were
Even though
Blow by blow
We can not let down our guard
We should know
That if we show
Just a small amount of kindness
Then we won't go
Toe to toe
Anymore
More than half a life away
It's gotta amount to something
We're still standing here today
It's not a hit and run thing
It's gotta count for something
So we go
Toe to toe
Never knowing what our cards were
Even though
Blow by blow
We can not let down our guard
We should know
That if we show
Just a small amount of kindness
Then we won't go
Toe to toe
Anymore
Yeah, we won't go
Toe to toe
Anymore
We won't go
Toe to toe
Anymore
Piece Of Cake lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Trying to get away
From banging on the tabletops, screaming at the top of my lungs
Did it in a day
When any other person would have taken off for most of a month
Then I had to pay
I was shaking from the aftershocks, never thought I’d steady again
Now I’m going grey
J. Jonah’s got a doppelganger playing in his own rock band
It was piece of cake
But making cake’s not easy
Sometimes the one you take
Can make a mess as we’ll see
Never wanted out
I was leaning on the door when the whole thing fell to the ground
Thought I was about
To make it go away and maybe tuck it where it’s safe and sound
If ever you’re in doubt
You never want to cut twice never having measured at all
Had to leave it out
‘Cause whether I had wanted to never really mattered in the freefall
It was piece of cake
But making cake’s not easy
Sometimes the one you take
Can make a mess as we’ll see
Everybody knows, but no one knows what went wrong
So the story grows; you never let truth get in the way of a good song
It was piece of cake
But making cake’s not easy
Sometimes the one you take
Can make a mess as we’ll see
It was piece of cake
But making cake’s not easy
Sometimes the one you take
Can make a mess as we’ll see
Globetrot lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Doesn't matter any of it happened before;
Maybe it was locked, but you still opened the door.
Kinda got held up mindin' the store.
So you had your head down, moppin the floor.
If you were gonna wreck it next, then what was it for?
I guess it doesn't matter much, not any more.
Globetrot. If that's what you've gotta do.
Don't stop, till you make the best of you.
Globetrot. Cause I'm getting used to you.
Globetrot. I did what I had to do.
We wanna hear from you if you are feelin' alone,
We're gonna open up the lines, so stay by the phone.
Cause maybe this loneliness is bred in the bone.
Anyone with half a mind would probably have known,
It's like I'm lookin' down from this spectacular drone,
Whispering secrets into megaphones.
I want more than ever before.
I want way beyond satisfaction.
In this case, you know that less isn't more.
And I can't wait to see your reaction.
I can't wait to see your reaction.
I suppose your memory is not as before.
Might a got your head caught, slammed in the door.
Either way your memory is not as before.
Guess that I could give the benefit of the doubt,
If I didn't know just what you were about.
Don't have to be a genius to figure it out.
Globetrot. If that's what you've gotta do.
Don't stop, till you make the best of you.
Globetrot. Cause I'm getting used to you.
Bad cop. I did what I had to do.
Globetrot. If that's what you've gotta do.
Don't stop, till you make the best of you.
Globetrot. Cause I'm getting used to you.
Bad cop. I did what I had to do.
Silverball lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Roll around, and I stare at you
Your lights and sound, am I scared of you?
You could take me down like you're set to do
But hear me now, I'll take care of you
Light me up, and knock me down
I'm free game whenever you're around
So lock me in, we're special bound
'Cause you're my silverball
Had it all, there and back again
I destroyed the ring on the attack again
The multi-ball was on track again
But I watched it fall through the center drain
Light me up, and knock me down
I'm free game whenever you're around
So lock me in, we're special bound
'Cause you're my silverball
Silence is fine, but you won't play me blind
Drops in a line reset every time
I'll change your mind if I nudge you oh-so carefully
Settin' up, hittin' shots again
Gettin' tough, making locks again
If you've seen one, then they're all the same
Just shoot the lights, and avoid out lanes
Light me up, and knock me down
I'm free game whenever you're around
So lock me in, we're special bound
'Cause you're my silverball
Light me up, and knock me down
I'm free game whenever you're around
So lock me in, we're special bound
'Cause you're my silverball
Tired Of Fighting With You lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
I'm tired of fighting with you
I'm tired of fighting with you
I'm so tired of fighting with you
Sitting in my chair
It's like you're not even there
I shout into the air
But I know that you care
You don't hear a word I say
Never listened anyway
There's no amount I wouldn't pay
To make you go away
I'm tired of fighting with you
I'm tired of fighting with you
I'm so tired of fighting with you
You never wait
For the hearts that you will break
For the dreams that you will take
Why don't you go jump in the lake
Why can't we have peace
Or quiet at least
Between west and east
Between man and beast
I'm tired of fighting with you
I'm tired of fighting with you
I'm so tired of fighting with you
Leaning on the sink
Too tired to even think
I know you're waiting there
At the bottom of the stair
And I think of my little girl
The biggest love in the world
I know I'll thank someone
I know what I'm fighting for
Coming 'round the bend
Here's to things that mend
Here's to friends
And the helping hands they lend
I'm tired of fighting with you
I'm tired of fighting with you
I'm so tired of fighting with you
I'm so tired of fighting with you
I'm so tired of fighting with you
I'm so tired of fighting with you
I'm so tired of fighting with you
I'm so tired of fighting with you
I'm so tired of fighting with you
I'm so tired of fighting with you
Counting Down lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Counting down is easy
It comes down to what are you prepared to do
The sound is teasing
It's different at eight than when it gets to two
Just hold your breath and
Take one big step over the precipice and
Fall back down
Take a breath
The writing's on the wall
The temporary outcome
Your paper tigers fall
You made a mess
Okay, you shit the bed
But now you have to lie there
'Cause it's all in your head
Counting down is easy
It comes down to what are you prepared to do
The sound is teasing
It's different at eight than when it gets to two
Just hold your breath and
Take one big step over the precipice and
Fall back down
Take a breath
Your heart won't settle down
The disappearing options
'Cause you can't turn around
Phone a friend
You might have made that call
But you lost all your lifelines
There's no one left at all
Counting down is easy
It comes down to what are you prepared to do
The sound is teasing
It's different at eight than when it gets to two
Just hold your breath and
Take one big step over the precipice and
Fall back down
Fall back down (fall back down)
Fall back down (fall back down)
Best thing about going up
You know that it's gonna come back around
(Stand up) stand back up
(Stand back up) stand back up
Why you crying 'bout a glass half empty
When you know it was you that drank half the cup
Counting down is easy
It comes down to what are you prepared to do
The sound is teasing
It's different at eight than when it gets to two
Just hold your breath and
Take one big step over the precipice and
Fall back down
Fall back down
Fall back down (fall back down) fall back down
Fall back down (fall back down) fall back down
Fall back down (fall back down) fall back down
Fall back down (fall back down) fall back down
Fall Back On lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Lying weak in emptiness
Flying helpless to renew the emptiness
You can never get the rest
All you needed was to have done what was best
I never wanted anyone and never wanted anything
To fall back on, fall back on
I never wanted anything and never wanted anyone
To call back on, call back on
You know the silly part of this
Is there is no one else that I would rather kiss
Tried to rearrange the rules
Made myself look like the king of all the fools
I never wanted anyone and never wanted anything
To fall back on, fall back on
I never wanted anything and never wanted anyone
To call back on, call back on
I never wanted anyone and never wanted anything
To fall back on, fall back on
I never wanted anything and never wanted anyone
To call back on, call back on
After all’s said and done
Maybe I’d just make one
Maybe I’d just make one fall apart
After all’s said and done
It made us look like fools
I never wanted anyone and never wanted anything
To fall back on, fall back on (fall back on)
I never wanted anything and never wanted anyone
To call back on, call back on (call back on)
I never wanted anyone and never wanted anything
To fall back on, fall back on (fall back on)
I never wanted anything and never wanted anyone
To call back on, call back on (call back on)
