This is why I love Barenaked Ladies

[hkellick]

I wake up scared.
I wake up strange.
I wake up wondering if anything in my life is every gonna change.
I wake up scared.
I wake up strange.
And everything around me stays the same.

I wish I could step from this scaffold
onto soft green pastured shopping malls
and then with my family
and my pastor and my grandfather who's dead.

And my favorite...

...if I had to pick just one, would be:

"You think I'm only here to witness the remains of love exhumed."

Dare you to find another group that uses the word "exhume" as a metaphor in a lyric. Hee...s:)

I've always been fond of, "My tongue inside her ear, my tongue inside her... in the basement..." and "I wax poetic as she's waxing her legs."

But really any band with their vocabulary and propensity for fun turns of phrase was just /going/ to catch my attention.
