Barenaked Ladies - Flip

Copied!

I could be a little devil
Or I could be a little saint
I kind of like it in the middle
Is you is, or is you aunt

Nothings indelible
Everything is sellable
Whether you’re an animal or vegetable or mineral
It’s criminal to think, it drives a man to drink
Am I coming off like my hits don’t stink

Chorus:
Come on Flip (Flip)
Bend a little bit, maybe get wise to a new tip
Come on Flip (Flip)
Take a little trip, see another side of the same ship
This is the church, this is the steeple
Turn up the lights, see all my people
Comе on Flip (Flip)
Take it for a rip, you’re nevеr gonna fight till you lose your grip

Am I living in a bubble
Am I really out of touch
Do you think I’ll get in trouble
If I talk too much

Am I too cynical, a bit too clinical
Maybe that finicals un-winnable subliminal
Original sin, you’ll tell me where you’ve been
Can we get a do over and start again?

I can’t understand it for you
But I’ll try to explain

Chorus

Look at the stars
Some of them are long gone
And yet there they are
And so it goes
Because we believe it
It doesn’t make it so

Chorus

Biography

edit bio

Barenaked Ladies is a Canadian rock band that was formed in Scarborough, Ontario in 1988. The band has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide and has won eight Juno Awards throughout their career.

The group originally started as a duo consisting of Steven Page and Ed Robertson, who were both counselors at a music camp. Robertson's previous band had dissolved, leading him to learn all of Page's songs and eventually start performing together. The name "Barenaked Ladies" was initially created as a one-time name for a charity gig, but the duo decided to keep it.

Their unique style of creating songs on the spot based on audience requests helped them gain popularity, and they were soon offered opening slots on regional and national tours. The addition of Andy & Jim Creeggan on percussion and bass, as well as drummer Tyler Stewart, solidified the band's lineup.

Barenaked Ladies gained national exposure when Toronto city officials deemed their name offensive, leading to coverage in major newspapers and on television. Their self-released Yellow Tape became the first independent release to achieve platinum status in Canada.

The band's breakthrough came with their album "Gordon" in 1992, which produced several hit singles including "If I Had $1,000,000" and "Brian Wilson." Subsequent albums like "Stunt" and "Maroon" solidified their success with chart-topping hits like "One Week" and "Pinch Me."

After the departure of Steven Page in 2008, the band continued to release albums and tour, achieving moderate success in North America. They reunited with Page for a performance at the 2018 Juno Awards when they were inducted into the Canadian Hall of Fame.

Barenaked Ladies' unique blend of humor and catchy melodies has endeared them to fans around the world, cementing their status as one of Canada's most successful and enduring musical acts.
