Текст (слова) песни: Barenaked Ladies - Box Set

 
Words and Music by Steven Page 
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.
