"Clumsy"
Our Lady Peace
I Know What You Did Last Summer soundtrack

Nmber of listens: ||
Stars (out of 5): 3

I remember the first time I ever heard Our Lady Peace. Jon Ballard on DC101 introduced them as "Canada's answer to the Smashing Pumpkins" and I, being a huge SP fan, ran right out and bought their album. I don't think I agree with Ballard's comparison but I like OLP regardless.

This isn't my favorite of theirs but it's a good single has definitely stuck around since they released it. It's kind of long but it changes tempos and dynamics often so it's not boring at all.



Throw away the radio
Suitcase...Keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, the telephone
Telephone in case...You realize that
Sometimes your just not OK
You level out, level out, level out
It's not alright now...You need to understand
There's nothing strange out this
You need to know your friends...You need to know that

I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown, watching you scream, quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy as you've been there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in here

Throw away this very old...shoe lace
Tripped you again
Try to shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
Sow the skin now
You need to understand...there's nothing fake about this
You need to let me in...watching you and

I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown, watching you scream, no one's around
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy has you've been, there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in...

I'll be wavin my hand...Watching you drown...
Watching you scream...Quiet or loud...
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend

As clumsy as you've been, there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in here...Yeah
You will be safe in here...in here...Yeah
in here...Yeah...in here...Yeah...in here...Yeah
in here...Yeah....in here...Yeah

An ambitious blog - I can barely review the new albums I get every month.
