One Week

The Barenaked Ladies, off Stunt

It's been one week since you looked at me
cocked your head to the side and said I'm angry.
Five days since you laughed at me
saying get that together come back and see me.
Three 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 two 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 looking at Aquaman DC Comics superhero. League Of Justice.
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss Swiss Chalet is a popular rotisserie chicken restaurant in Canada.
I like the sushi 'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Sushi; japanese uncooked fish stuff, wasabe, the hot spicy condiment that goes on it, and prolly a nod to Busta Rhymes
Big like Leann Rimes Country singer
Because I'm all about value Slogan used by Honda dealers in southern Ontario in the late 80s,
though I don't know if that's what this was about.
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits Swingin' german composer; cocktaily
You try to match wits
You try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous, you'll have to sign a waiver
This is totally based on hearsay; when I was a kid, growing
up in southern Ontario, I was told that when Vertigo came out,
it was so scary, you needed to sign a waiver to see it. I have
never seen any confirmation of this, but I've wondered if
growing up an hour away, they heard the same stories...

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 kind of 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 taking off my shirt

It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said you're crazy
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry

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

fyi: in your project focus on 'one week' the phrase "Chickity China the Chinese chicken" comes from a line from Leaders Of The New School's "what's the scenario" where the line "chickity choco, the chocolate chicken" is a reference to female crackheads (who usually walk like chickens). the singer? busta rhymes.

Watchin X-Files with no lights on, we're dans la maison I hope I don't need to tell you what X-Files is. And that's French for 'we in the house'
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one Popular, creepy, X-Files character
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting Frantic Less popular, creepy Harrison Ford flick
Like Sting I'm Tantric Tantra is the religion that teaches that you can become powerful by controlling your body. Most westerners use it to have a lot of sex. Sting claims he can make love for 8 hours. I'd get raw. Even for Sting.
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy But I hope he's not packed with peanuts.
Like Kurosawa I make mad films
Okay I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a samurai
Kurosawa made incredible samurai films. Star Wars is based on Kakushi toride no san akunin.
Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna 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
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
that make me think the wrong thing
I don't want to know what he's thinking about 13-year-old animated cartoon girls, imported to North America and cheaply dubbed by Saban.

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 kind of 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 one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides and said I'm sorry
Five days since I laughed at you
and said You just did just what I thought you were gonna do
Three 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 two 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
