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.

I Wanna Thank You Lyrics

Sloan

You had the best of intentions now
But the bad inventions let us down
And now it's gone
Who really cares if we ever find a home
Yeah yeah

I wanna thank you
Thank you for all the times we had
Too bad there's no more money
Next part ain't so funny
Everybody's leaving
It seems to be the season
When your thoughts return to home
Can't you see that I'd rather be alone
Yeah yeah

Goodbye so long
See you sometime
Goodbye, so long
See you sometime

Let me know if you're back this way again
Sing a song that reminds us of our friends
Ba ba ba...

I wanna thank you
You know all those times don't seem so bad
We live in a reflection
Eliminate detection
As well as rhyme or reason
We always aim to please them
And my thoughts begin to roam
Still I think I'd rather be alone
Yeah yeah

Goodbye, so long
See you sometime
Goodbye, so long
See you sometime
