Song | Shoe Box |
Artist | Barenaked Ladies |
Album | T.D. Waterhouse Center, Orlando, FL |
Lyrics:Steven Page/Ed Robertson Music:Steven Page | |
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: | |
My shoe box | |
Shoe box of lies | |
Shoe box | |
Shoe box of lies | |
it's under my bed, it's never been read | |
it's in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there | |
From my first little fib, when I still wore a bib | |
To my latest attempt at pretending I'm someone | |
Who's not seventeen, doesn't know what you mean | |
When talk turns to single malts, or stilton, or | |
Chorus | |
Did somebody tell you | |
This is how it's supposed to be? | |
Or did you just find it | |
And you don't want any more from me? | |
Chorus | |
Was it something I said, or was it something you read | |
That's making me think that I should never have come here | |
I can offer you lies, I can tell you good-bye. | |
I can tell you I'm sorry, But I can't tell you the truth, dear | |
And what if I could -- would it do any good? | |
You'll still never get to see the contents of | |
Chorus | |
You're so nineteen-ninety | |
And it's nineteen-ninety-four | |
Leave this world behind me | |
'Cause you don't want me anymore. |
