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.

Chester The Molester Lyrics

Sloan

Chester the Molester's not without his charm
She can see herself hanging off his arm
He's saying "Hey bartender put it on my tab
Unless my limit's running out again." (out again)
He's generous but when he's tired of coughing it up
Well there's a bill that says he will
But he's never concerned
If he gets burned

Because it's hotter than lava at the centre of a sauna
But you know you're gonna get it when I get you where I wanna
Oh no, it can't be too soon

Chester the Molester's trying to hide his ring (what a man)
But he's the only guy who's halfway interesting
He's saying, "Hey, bartender, can you fill 'er up,
Because you see she's running out again." (out again)
"You thought I was the type of guy that never put out,
But I'm not,
Any more than you were"

Because it's hotter than lava at the centre of a sauna
But you know you're gonna get it when I get you where I wanna
Oh no, it can't be too soon
Oh no, it can't be too soon

Don't give in
Say you're gonna turn around and leave
Don't give in
Say you're gonna turn around and leave

Chester the Molester never kept his word (what a man)
He never bought that drink and now he's lost his bird
He's saying, "Hey, bartender, can I look you up,
If I'm ever coming out again?" (out again)
She's courteous but shuts him down, he's wondering still
If there's a pill that says she will
'Cause he's never concerned
But he'll get burned

Because it's hotter than lava at the centre of a sauna
But you know you're gonna get it when I get you where I wanna
Oh no, it can't be too soon
Oh no, it can't be too soon
