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.

Shame Shame Lyrics

Sloan

Shame, shame
Because you couldn't say your girlfriend's name

For sure
I'll say it next time for sure

She has got the saddest handle that I know
No one even holds a candle, who would blow
Out her flame, I'm overcome with shame

Shame, shame
Because you didn't read all of Dames, Dames

You knew
You knew the damage it would do

She is just the brightest candle that I know
I hope her owner has a handle on her, though

But keep your head up
Can't accept your hand, no
I would love to, I would love to
But I am overcome with shame

Shame, shame
Because you didn't say your girlfriend's name

You knew
You knew that problems would ensue

I wrote your name for all to see
I wrote your name for all to see
I wrote your name for all to see

I would love you
I would love you

But I am overcome with shame
I never read all of Dames, Dames
I can't identify the change
But something isn't quite the same
But then I couldn't say your name
