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.

The Other Man Lyrics

Sloan

The Other Man

You know he's not the one for you
But that's no fault of mine
He knows that I'm a friend of yours
But doesn't know I've crossed the line
I know you've got a man in the picture
But it hasn't stopped me yet
We've all be in one situation or another
We regret
Now I'm the other man
No one's rooting for me
If I'm the other man
Nature will abhor me
You know I wanna keep my distance
'Cause it's happening anyway
He knows you're gonna drift apart
And there's nothing he can say
I know that he's a stand up guy
But that's none of my concern
We've all been in one situation or another
It's my turn
To be the other man
No one sympathises
When you're the other man
Everyone despises
He's gonna find out that the rumours are true
Though they are still unbeknownst to you
He'll find out so I'll tell you because
You gotta find out before he does
I know you've got a man in the picture
But it hasn't stopped me yet
We've all be in one situation or another
We regret
Now I'm the other man
No one's rooting for me
If I'm the other man
Nature will abhor me
Yeah
No one sympathises
When you're the other man
Everyone despises
Yeah
We've all been in one situation or another
We've all been in one situation or another
We've all been in one situation or another
