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.

Ready For You Lyrics

Sloan

Never needed nobody
Never needed a girl
I've been breakin' my own heart
I've been rockin' my world

Jealous of myself
Up until I finally gotta
Load of you
Now you're the one I want
So you gotta tell me
What I gotta do

(So that I'm) Ready
I'm ready for you
I'm ready
I'm ready for you

My life is so lonesome
Now I know you exist
We could talk on the phone some
But I'd rather we kissed

Always lookin' in
But you showed me
How I could be lookin' out
For somebody else
I suppose you
Showed me what it's all about

(I think I'm) Ready
I'm ready for you
I'm ready
I'm ready for you

I'm beggin' my pardon
I guess I never knew
I've been lookin' for something
Something tells me it's you

(I think I'm) Ready
I'm ready for you
I'm ready
I'm ready for you
(I think I'm) Ready
I'm ready for you
I'm ready
I'm ready for you
(I think I'm) Ready
