Barenaked Ladies - I’ll Be That Girl ”Demo Track"

Copied!

If i were you, and i wish that i were you
All the things i'd do to make myself turn blue
I suppose i'd start by removing all my clothes
Tie my panty-hose around my neck

I'll be that girl, and you would be right over
If i were a field, you would be in clover
If i were the sun, you would be in shadow
And if i had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow
There'd be no tomorrow

I feel like i'm six feet underground
Turned on by the sound
Of silent screams
For help that never comes
That еven a eunuch can't resist
Thе magic of a kiss from such as you

I'll be that girl, and you would be right over
If i were a field, you would be in clover
If i were the sun, you would be in shadow
And if i had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow
There'd be no tomorrow

It's time to kick off your shoes
Learn how to choose sadness
It's time to shake off those chains
Addle our brains with madness
We've got plenty of time
To grow old and die
But when at last your beauty's faded
You'll be glad that i have waited for you
See barenaked ladies liveget tickets as low as $35when you're done
With being beautiful and young
When that course is run
Then come to me

I'll be that girl, and you would be right over
If i were a field, you would be in clover
If i were the sun, you would be in shadow
And if i had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow
There'd be no tomorrow
There'd be no tomorrow
There'd be no tomorrow
There'd be no tomorrow
There'd be no tomorrow
There'd be no tomorrow
There'd be no tomorrow

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.
