Barenaked Ladies - Same Thing Lyrics






What does it mean to wake out of a dream and be
Wearing some else's shorts?
I've been around the block, at least on my bike
I was prepared for the news but not for
The Third World War

I found me an answer, in a grocery store
I found me an answer in the form of an old man with
a cardigan on, this guy's got thirty years on me but
he stops and smiles just to say "Hello,
didn't I see you on TV?"

Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Charlie Brown went through

I'm in a comic store
Lookin' for some mistakenly priced comic I could make
A fortune on and in walks the Fantastic Four
I say "Don't go; That last issue was cool!"

Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same

These things all end
Who asked you anyway?
You'll have to bend
Who asked you anyway?

I'm in a thunderstorm
Staying out from under trees never holding
Golf clubs, but still seem to be getting
Struck by lightning... must be
Something in my veins
My weathered veins

Must've been the same thing

  1. D.... A....

    Dealing with stereotypical high school girl problems. This song is keeping me going right now. Thank you

  2. D.... K....

    this is one of the best BNL songs ever

  3. A.... ....

    Ed bringing up the topic of dreams in the intro makes this entire song sound like a very pleasant, melancholy dream... This album, moreso than any other by the group, carries me to a very different state of mind.
    Gorgeous work from their transitional period while Kevin Hearn was busy kicking Leukemia in the ass.

    A.... ....

    2 years after you made this comment I would just like to say that Kevin Hearn was not diagnosed with cancer until they were recording the album Stunt which was a couple years after this song was released. In fact, I'm pretty sure Kevin was not involved in the recording of this song at all.

    A.... ....

    @i hate video gams That's weird, I knew that but I suppose I forgot when I made the comment. This was after Andy Creeggan, Jim's brother, left and nobody had taken his place.

    A.... ....

    Hearn joined the band in between the release of this LP and Stunt. Can't give you an exact source but it's pretty well known - e.g. their movie Barenaked in America probably covers it.
