To many, Sloan is one of today's quintessential Canadian bands, as cliche as it might sound. Since their debut EP Peppermintin 1992, the fab four - Halifax natives, now relocated to Toronto - have forged a distinct niche for themselves in the Canadian scene. The outfit includes Jay Ferguson and Patrick Pentland on guitar, Chris Murphy on bass, and Andrew Scott on drums; each have their own unique songwriting voice and style, each contribute equally. Sloan's humble beginnings with the aforementioned EP led them to a signing with David Geffen, where they released Smearedthat same year. Following that album and hailed as "Canada's Nirvana," they took a sharp turn with Twice Removed(1994) and never looked back.

All By Ourselves Lyrics

Sloan

Say what you want about me
Yeah yeah yeah
Say what you want about me
Right now

All by ourselves
She wanted to show we can do anything
All by ourselves
You can read all about it in the book that's been flying
Off the shelves
There's dozens of sales but they say that all good things
Come in twelves
And that is scary at times

Say what you want about me
Yeah yeah yeah
Say what you want about me
Right now

All in good time
This story could work as a tellable tale
All in good time
But the do-it yourselfers want to do it so they can
See a dime
Chances are you could see us selling as south as
Anaheim
Keep dreaming, if you know me well then you
Know that I'm
Willing to take that chance

Keeping in mind I believe that we're history makers
(please tell me who you think you're affecting)
But the do-it-yourselfers are preparing for that one too
(keep dreaming cause I know you're collecting)
I only hope we can make it in time
But nothing's for sure, is for sure
Oh yeah

Say what you want about me
Yeah yeah yeah
Say what you want about me
Right now

You've got me

Tearing and turning
Turning and tearing out

Turning and tearing
Tearing and turning
Turning and tearing off

Turning and tearing
Tearing and turning
Turning and tearing out
