Barenaked Ladies ~ Shoe Box


Words by steven page & ed robertson Music by 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?

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.

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
