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.

Lucky For Me Lyrics

Sloan

congratulations on your deal
I imagine you said the whole spiel
a thousand times so take your time
I'm sure that someone's dying to tell me
even if it isn't you
but if you want to I'm all ears
that's why I grow my hair so long
lucky for me
I'm glad you're inspired
but how come I'm tired
I need a rest so here's a test
are you going to move out west
that would be all I need
to earn the set of misery
I've collected all my life
all I need is to be your wife
then misery belongs to me
rent it out if you've got a TV
lucky for me
I know how you feel
to know how I feel
I guess the ball is in my court
I suppose you want me to abort
our whole relationship well
(screw you)
'cause I'm not about to
I'm sure that someone's dying to tell you
even if it isn't me
but, if you want me, I'm all yours
that's why I stayed around so long
lucky for me
