Box Set

Barenaked Ladies

Gordon

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 got it, it's all right here in my box set

I never thought that words like product could ever leave my lips
But something happened to me somewhere, that made me lose my grip
Well, maybe it's the lack of inspiration that makes me stoop
Or maybe it's a lack of remuneration, 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
An album's worth of songs
But, well, we had to leave the whole disc blank
'Cause 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

Never thought there'd be days like this
There was always someone at my door
I never thought I would ever miss
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've 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 hacking 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, uh uh, yeah

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
I hear my songs in an ad for a bathroom cleanser, they say it's greed
And now I'm wonderin' 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
I hope you enjoy my new box
I hope you enjoy my new box set
