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.

In The Movies Lyrics

Sloan

In the time it takes us to walk another city mile
we could do it in the movies
do it in the movis like what you're on about
by the time I show you
a reason why you're out of style
you could see it in the movies
clearly I don't even know what I'm doing
Or what I'm on about
it feels like somebody else's lights came on
I'll take another look around
and the feeling I get when I watch you
day in or day out
can make me feel l can turn it off or on
every day you wonder
if I can read between the lines
I could do it in a movie
do it in a movie - that's what it's all about
it feels like somebody else's lights came on
I'll take another look around
and I don't even know where I'm going
or where I'm coming from
and now I'm travling down the autobahn
and I'm too afraid to turn around
and I can't even see where I'm going
but I'll take another look around
like they did in the movies
just like they did it in the movies
we could do it in a movie
