It's Been.... A Long Ride

After over 15 hours in a truck with the same people, crazy things are bound to happen. And this is what we spent the first three hours of the ride doing. Figuring out the words to "1 Week" by the Barenaked Ladies. This is what we came up with. The text in red is just informational, not part of the actual lyrics. If you know more about any of these subjects, feel free.

It's been 1 week since you looked at me, cocked your head to the side and said I'm angry,

5 days since you laughed at me, saying get that together come back and see me.

3 days since the living room, I realized it's all my fault but couldn't tell you,

Yesterday, you'd forgiven me, but it'll still be 2 days till I say I'm sorry.

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink, as I make you stop think,

You'll think you're lookin at aquaman.

I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss,

(seems as Chalet Swiss is a restaurant of some type that serves cooked food)

I like the Sushi cuase it's never touched a frying pan.

Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes, big like Leanne Rimes, because I'm all about value.

Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits, I try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through.(everyone knows who Leanne Rimes is, Bert Kaempfert sang songs like Strangers in the Night)

Gonna make a break and take a fake, I'd like a stinkin, achin shake,

I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavors.

Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know, the Vertigo is gonna grow,

(Vertigo is like dizziness, for those of you who don't know)

Cause it's so dangerous, you'll have to sign a waiver.

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad,

Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad.

I'm the kinda guy who laughs at a funeral, can't understand what I mean, well you soon will.

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve, I have a history of taken off my shirt.

It's been 1 week since you looked at me, threw your arms in the air and said you're crazy.

5 days since you tackled me, I still have the rug burns on both my knees.

It's been 3 days since the afternoon, you realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon.

Yesterday, you'd forgiven me, now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry.

Chickity China, the Chinese chicken, have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'.

Watchin X-files with no lights on, we're dans la maison.

(French for "in the house")

I hope the Smokey Man's in this one.

Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic, like Sting, I'm tantric.

Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy.

Like Kurosawa, I make mad films, k I don't make films, but if I did they'd have a samurai.

(Kurosawa is a famous writer and director of films)

Gonna get a set a better clubs, gotta find the kind with tiny nubs,

Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back swing.

Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon,

(a Japanese cartoon, with kind of graphic characters... anime.....)

Cause that cartoon has got the BOOM anime babes, that make me think the wrong thing.

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad.

Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad.

I'm the kinda guy who laughs at a funeral, can't understand what I mean, you soon will.

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve, I have a history of losing my shirt.

It's been 1 week since you looked at me, dropped your arms to the side and said I'm sorry.

5 days since I laughed at you and said you just did just what I thought you were gonna do.

3 days since the living room, we realized we're both to blame, but what could we do.

Yesterday, you just smiled at me, cause it'll still be 2 days till we say we're sorry.

It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry.

It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry.

Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie

(huge outdoor stadium used for a variety of reasons, located in Ontario. The Robbie International Soccer Tournament is held there and raises money for charity. The Barenaked Ladies are from Canada and simply dropped the name in here to make people aware! Aren't they nice.)
