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.

Iggy & Angus Lyrics

Sloan

Someone better get insurance
To take good care of me
'Cause if I'm stuck with my own bad luck
Well that's the saddest sight you'll see

'Cause if I stumble then I fall and get back up
Try to brush the dust off
And everything is black when I close my eyes
I lose all sense of time

It hurts it's cruel but it feels real good
I'm going to do it after all

We're still the same
After all these years
It's funny how you get a feel for it
When you finally lose your sense of fear

When Iggy said it's loose down on the street
Living in the city
And everything went black 'cause it's in my eyes
Everything denied

Kurt's still cool and Angus rules, I'm gonna plug it in again

We're still the same
After all these years
It's funny how you get a feel for it
When you finally lose your sense of fear

Someone better get insurance
To take good care of me
'Cause if I'm stuck with my own bad luck
Well, that's the saddest sight you'll see

It hurts, it's cruel, but it feels real good
Well that's all right
Kurt's still cool, and Angus rules
And that's all right
All right
