1, 2, 3 and 4 more makes 7
And 6 is afraid of 7...cause 7 ate 9!

Nine was minding his business
Talking to 10 about Gordy Howe's clothes
Why 7 ate 9, nobody knows.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10

Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself
O Alcohol, I still drink to your health

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol

You're in an all-girl band
Your futon's second hand
Your parents understand but you don't care
I have a job in a shop
I'm an undercover cop
I make sure the customers aren't thieves
Old at being young
Young at being old

That's the problem, dear, with angry people
They try to go it alone
Digging in and making cranky feeble pleas
That other angries disown

Angry people think a good solution is
Getting others involved
So they surround themselves with happy people

you can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mail
All of them coming anonymously so they leave no trail
I never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas
But someone is sending me stationary filled with chimpanzees.

Some chimps in swimsuits, some chimps are swinging from a vine
Some chimps in jackboots, some chimps that wish they could be mine.
Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And days of Auld Lang Syne.

I'm having a bad day
There's nothing you can do or say
To help me through this bad day
I think I'll just stay in my room

They didn't need to say
That they didn't want to play
I could have guessed it anyway

If there's someone you can live without,
then do so.
And if there's someone you can just shove out;
do so.

[Chorus]
You can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unravelling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

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 wanna know everything about me - well here you go,
You say you couldn't live your life without me, I don't know.
But if you want it girl, you've got it;
it's all right here, in my box set.

I never thought that words like product could ever leave my lips,

Drove downtown in the rain nine-thirty
On a Tuesday night,
Just to check out the late-night record shop.
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive,
Call it insane;
But when I'm surrounded I just can't stop.

It's a matter of instinct, it's a matter of conditioning,

I think
It's getting to the point
Where I can be myself again
It's getting to the point
Where we have almost made amends

I think
It's the getting to the point that is the hardest part

Hey Steve, hey Ed, that sounds nice, what is it?
Thank you, it’s a, it's an alphabet song I’m working on
Oh great, a whole new alphabet, I just learned the old one

A is for aisle, B is for bdellium, C is for czar
And if you see him would you mind telling him?

Okay, hang on a second, yeah aisle, bdellium?

If I climb a tree just to see what I see
Does that make me curious?
If I make a point of just cruising a joint
Would that make me curious?

And if it's profound this just lookin' around
Well, then gee whiz
Don't call me crazy, I've never been lazy

here's a blueberry pancake flying in the sky
I can see it, I can see it
And there's a castle in the cloud and it's floating on by
Can you see it? Can you see it?

With my imagination I can see it
With my pencil crayons I can draw it
On a piece of paper I can show it to you

My backpack was faded black
But now it's all blue
It looks whack but it's compact
And works like brand new

I had found an old Greyhound
But it wasn't my scene
I'm underground at the turnaround

I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser
I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out
I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby
I'm so fly, that's probably why it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

I'm so green, it's really amazing
I'm so clean, too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me.

Goes to show not what you know
But who you know, so's, you know
I can go, flow, build the row, then throw the snow
'Fore the show, stay low, play it on a Dobro

Oh, I tiptoe to and fro from Ontario
My stereo's blue like the rodeo
Growing like a freak show free throw

Everywhere I go someone's
tryin' to by my girlfriend's best friend.
I try to pretend I'm relaxed,
but I'm playing castanets with my knees.

I try to be cool and give her space,
but a guy's always there ready
to jump right up and take my place.

Well let me tell you if you're feeling alone
Instead of whining and moaning
Just get on the phone, tell her you're coming home
If you need, you should be there
If you scream in your sleep, or collapse in a heap
And spontaneously weep, then you know you're in deep
If you need her, you should be there
Go home

Green christmas by barenaked ladies

The streets are filled with christmas cheer

At least its only once a year

Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows

When the crypt goes creak,
And the tombstones quake.
Spooks come out for a swinging wake.
Happy haunts materialize,
And begin to vocalize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.

Now don't close your eyes,

"Hanukkah Blessings"

How Lucky are we that we have lights so we can see
Although the day is done
What a miracle that a spark lifts these candles out of the dark
Every evening, one by one
Until the end of hanukkah, of hanukkah.

Oh Hanukkah, Oh, Hanukkah

Come light the menorah

Let's have a party

We'll all dance the hora

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait…
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unravelling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state

Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started

Wait!

The earth began to cool

Friend, this shouldn't be the way things end
But then, a break is just around the bend
And when you tell me as I leave
You're scared you'll never see my face again
Well, I'm not sure it's the truth

You don't think I could love you
You don't think I could love you

I love you
And you love me
I love you
So let's make a family tree

I like soup, and I like ice cream sandwiches too.
I like fish sticks, but I love you.
You don't believe me, you say all I think about's myself.

If I Had $1000000 (If I Had $1000000)
I'd buy you a house (I would buy you a house)
If I Had $1000000 (If I Had $1000000)
I'd buy you furniture for your house
(Maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman)
If I Had $1000000 (If I Had $1000000)
I'd buy you a K-Car (a nice Reliant automobile)
If I Had $1000000 I'd buy your love.

If I had a 1,000,000 (If I had a 1,000,000)
I'd but you a house ( I would buy you a house)
If I had a 1,000,000 (If I had a 1,000,000)
I'd buy you furniture for your house ( maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman)
If I had a 1,000,000 (If I had a 1,000,000)
I'd but you a K-car ( a nice reliant automobile)
If I had a 1,000,000, I'd buy you love

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

Urgh!

Speaking as a guy who's really got it going on
It's only natural! - It's only me!
Take it from a fella who's been round the block so many times
he knows the only parking spot that's free,
It's only me...

Time heals
When both wheels
Slide off the shoulder
The car flips,
Your heart skips
And I'm sad and sober

Chorus:

Pretty soon you will be wanting me
To go.
And I will only be the enemy
I know.
Pretty soon you will be needing me
To leave.
But know that you and I will always be
Naive.

It was often talked about
It was often raised
But nothing was ever done about it
To hear the way they talked about it
Noone could be saved
But nothing was ever done about it

Shall I take back everything I've ever said

Struck by lightning, sounds pretty frightening
But you know the chances are so small
Stuck by a bee sting, nothing but a B-thing
Better chance you’re gonna buy it at the mall

But it’s a twenty-three four-to-one
That you can fall in love by the end of this song
So get up, get up

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

It's been one week since you looked at me
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 forgien me
But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry

Don't you know we lost?
Sunk so low, we just called it off
How an ordinary moment gets tossed
More than ordinary woman's the cost

Thought I understood
Fought to buy the whole neighborhood
You ought to try, I told you so, it feels good

It's the perfect time of year
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

Raisins come from Grapes
People come from Apes
I come from Canada
I came in first place
In a non existent race
To rebuild the Parthenon

The Parthenon's in Greece

If you're on a highway and roadrunner goes "beep beep",
Just step aside or you might end up in a heap
Roadrunner, roadrunner runs on the road all day,
Even the coyote can't make him change his ways

Roadrunner, that coyote's after you
Roadrunner, if he catches you you're through
That coyote's really a crazy clown,

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 numerals,
He's Ivy League with Roman Polanski

A key in the door, a step on the floor,
A note on the table, and a meal in the micro
Note says I'm in bed, please make sure that you're fed
If you're taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe
When I'm asleep I dream you move in next week
I crumple the note and save it to put inside

[Chorus]

[Chorus:]
Well you know that it's going to be alright
I think it's gonna be alright
Everything will always be alright
When we go shopping

Well you know that it's going to be alright
When we go shopping

Made of snow, I don't know
How I fit in
To and fro, people go
I stand and grin
Way to go, even though
I can't begin
Made of snow, I don't know
How I fit in

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

You're looking for something
That you'll never find
You've got the questions
You've got the time
You've got the bruises
To show you've been blind
'Cause you're looking for something
That you'll never find

The moon is full but there is an incompleteness
The days are beautiful but I feel a bitter sweetness
If I had a wish, or even a choice
I'd wake up to the sound of your voice
How I miss waking up to the sound of your voice

I let you down and fell right off of your good list
I hope each day you'll find peace and forgiveness

Maybe it would be fun
To get a new opinion
Get a little work done
And forget

Maybe it would be cool
If I rocked it old school
Try to break a gold rule

I'm learning, I'm yearning
I'm burning all your stuff, but that's not enough
I'm thinking that I'm aching
Mistaking lust for love

Thanks that was fun
Don't forget, no regrets
Accept maybe one

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unravelling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

В горячей и плотной форме был наш мир,
А миллиарды лет назад он начал расшир... погоди!

Остыла твердь земли,
И автотрофы потекли,
Нож дикари изобрели,
Мы возвели... десятки пирамид!
Тайн объяснение, наук возникновение,

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?

В горячей и плотной форме был наш мир,
А миллиарды лет назад он начал расшир... погоди!

Остыла твердь земли,
И автотрофы потекли,
Нож дикари изобрели,
Мы возвели... десятки пирамид!
Тайн объяснение, наук возникновение,

Words and music by Steven Page and Stephen Duffy
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

I'm not surprised it's come to this
Sooner or later there must be another's kiss
Behind that kiss a promise of a life of bliss
Yeah, great
I won't be takin' the bait
I'd rather drown
And I will not turn my whole life upside down

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

Last night I heard the wolves [Repeat: x 3]
They were howling at the moon
Howling at the moon [Repeat: x 2]
What a wild tune
They were howling at the moon

Last night I heard the breeze {Repeat: x 3]
It was singing through the trees

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
Its hard to believe
As I watch you breathe

Stop, drop and roll and I will tell you where I'm coming from
You've done a lot of yelling pointed at my eardrum
I'll offer all of me that you can lay your eyes on
I'll get right back to you once I get my disguise on

Hearts on fire, you'll learn
End up with heartburn

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 until you turn out the light
And I can't see (oh)
Do you believe that we are all innately good
Do you think that you would love me until tomorrow if you could
Would you please turn down the radio
So we can speak

You run away
You could turn and stay
But you run away
From me

I tried to be
Your brother
You cried and

If there's someone you can live without
Then do so
If there's someone you can just shove out
Then do so

You can be my yoko ono
You can follow me wherever i go
Be my, be my
