Barenaked Ladies - Box set

Tekst :

I never thought that you would
Love me the way that you do.
I never thought that you would
Love me half as much as I do.
You say you want to know
Everything about me -- well here you go,
Buf if you want it girl, you got it;
It s all right here in my box set.

I never thought that words like
Product would ever leave my libs,
But something happened to me
Somewhere that made me lose my grip.
Maybe it s a lack of inspiration
That makes me stoop,
Or maybe it s a lack of
Renumeration; I can t recoup.
But if you want it, folks, you got it;
It s all right here in my box set.

Disc One
It s where we ve begun, it s all my greatest hits,
And if you are a fan then you know that you ve
already got em

Disc Two
It was all brand new, and album s worth of songs,
but we had to leave the whole disc blank because
Some other label bought em

Disc Three
This is really me in a grade school play,
I had about a hundred thousand lines, but of course
I forgot em

I never thought there d be days like this,
There was always someone at my door.
I never thought I would ever miss,
And the crowd would always holler for more.
But now it seems all that people want
Is what I used to be
And every time I try to do something new,
All they want is 1973.

I never thought I d be regretful
Of all my past success
But some stupid number one hit single
Has got me in this mess.
You can put it on every compilation -- that s alright.
You can hear it on the oldies radio station every night.
And if you want it again, you got it --
It s right here in my box set.

Disc Four
Never released before,
And you can tell why;
It s just some demos
I recorded in my basement.

Disc Five
I was barely alive,
I was coughing up a lung
So they had to use
A special computer as my replacement.

Disc Six
A dance remix,
So I can catch the latest trend
And it ll make you scratch your head
And wonder where my taste went.

So now my fans are crying sellout,
They say I ve lost my touch
They say I should just get the hell out
Before I do too much.
Hear my songs in an ad for a bathroom cleanser --
They say it s greed,
And now I m wondering where my friends are
In this time of need.
But if you change your mind and buy it,
I hope you enjoy my new box set.

Barenaked Ladies - Bull in a china shop

Tekst :

I m a kid in a candy store
I m a bull in a china shop
I m a tired old metaphor
For everything you can t afford
And everything you can t afford to be

I m a public embarrassment
I m a bottle of diet poison
I m a walking advertisement
For everything I never meant
And everything I never meant to be

I can t hear a thing
Cause I ve stopped listening

I m the reason I don t go out
I m afraid I might tell me something
I m the shadow of every doubt
I m the product this song s about
I m the product this song s about to be

I can t hear a thing
Cause I ve stopped listening
I can t hear a thing
Cause I ve stopped listening

Every morning
Since I was born
It s been hard to look in the mirror
And see my face for the horns

All the fun that the law allows
All the fun but with half the meaning
Come on over, I ll show you how
If you lived here you d be home by now
If you still lived here you d be home now with me

I can t hear a thing
Cause I ve stopped listening
I can t hear a thing
Cause I ve stopped listening

Barenaked Ladies - Trust me

Tekst :

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

(chorus)
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 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
Or anyway you ll

Chorus

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

Chorus

Inne utwory

Losowe utwory

Blowing kisses in the wind

So tell baby tell
Your true heart
Say what you say
When you re all alone
I m trying
Trying to try
And feel you
And see if I see
I m feeling alone
And all I want is
To get through
So baby, you d see that the
Way...

Der falter und das licht

Ein Falter fliegt durch die Dunkelheit
allein im Raum der Unendlichkeit
ein Niemand im Schatten der Nacht
gefangen in der Finsternis
die ihn noch nie entkommen ließ
in die Ewigkeit des Lichts
er sucht das Glück, Vollkommenheit
Liebe und Geborgenheit
dort im...

Nugget

Ok
Alright
Uh-huh
This one
This one
This one
Heads of state who ride and wrangle
Who look at your face from more than one angle
Can cut you from their bloated budgets
Like sharpening knives through Chicken McNuggets...
Now,...

Gib uns etwas zeit

Angst, daß ich Dich wieder belüge
Angst, daß ich Dich nochmals so betrüge
Mut, auf das Kribbeln im Bauch vertrauen
Mut, sich abgrundtief in die Augen zu schauen
Hab Dich gedemütigt und
total unterschätzt,
und doch ist so viel zwischen uns
was...

Lay my body down

Bring me my four white horses
Show me my hallowed crown
Bring me my lost companions
Oh Oh lay my body down

Bring me my glass of comfort
Give me your sacred vow
Bring on my faded glory
Oh Oh, lay my...
