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.

Pretty Voice Lyrics

Sloan

you have got such a wonderful chance at
doing something really cool
instead you could be hangin' around with us
well I bet you thought I would say "fool"
no, I
understand your point
so don't get your nose out of joint
at the things that I will say to you
in due time
I see you
going into the feast
the only girls I know east
so I'll turn my back and leave
on my way
know what to say
you've got such a pretty voice
no one wants to hear
you
demand a second choice
to sing your second voice
and to do the things they won't let you do
funny
it happened to work out this way
together for just one day
see you in a week or two
you've got such a pretty voice
no one wants to hear
sometimes you should shut your mouth
and open up your ears
sometimes it's awfully loud,
usually not clear
you have got such a wonderful chance at
doing something really cool
instead you could be hangin' around with us
well I bet you thought I would say "fool"
no, I
understand your point
so don't get your nose out of joint
at the things that I will say to you
in due time
you've got such a pretty voice
no one wants to hear
sometimes you should shut your mouth
and open up your ears
sometimes it's awfully loud,
usually not clear
