Letra de Barenaked ladies - shoe box

A key in the door, a step on the floor

A note on the table, and a meal in the micro

Note says ´I´m in bed, please make sure that you´re fed

if you´re taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe

When I´m asleep I dream you move in next week´

I crumple the note and save it to put inside

Chorus:

My shoe box

Shoe box of lies

Shoe box

Shoe box of lies

it´s under my bed, it´s never been read

it´s in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there

From my first little fib, when I still wore a bib

To my latest attempt at pretending I´m someone

Who´s not seventeen, doesn´t know what you mean

When talk turns to single malts, or stilton, or

Chorus

Did somebody tell you

This is how it´s supposed to be?

Or did you just find it

And you don´t want any more from me?

Chorus

Was it something I said, or was it something you read

That´s making me think that I should never have come here

I can offer you lies, I can tell you good-bye.

I can tell you I´m sorry, But I can´t tell you the truth, dear

And what if I could -- would it do any good?

You´ll still never get to see the contents of

Chorus

You´re so nineteen-ninety

And it´s nineteen-ninety-four

Leave this world behind me

´Cause you don´t want me anymore.
