 (by MacKenzie Wilson)

Broken Social Scene materialized in 1999 when K.C. Accidental's Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, formerly of By Divine Right, bonded their friendship into a band. They spent the next few years honing an atmospheric rock sound in their native Toronto and the dynamic was great. Feel Good Lost marked their debut album in 2001 and introduced a revolving cast of Canadian indie musicians. Drew's fellow mate from Do Make Say Think, Charles Spearin, was added to the band, as well as Evan Cranley (Stars), James Shaw, and Emily Haines (Metric). By the time their guitar-fueled sophomore effort, You Forgot It in People, was released in fall 2002, Broken Social Scene had become an 11-piece collective. Jason Collett, Andrew Whiteman, Justin Peroff and Leslie Feist fulfilled the band's bombastic, orchestrated sound and critics loved it. You Forgot It In People was a buzz among indie cohorts and plans for a stateside release on Arts & Crafts was slated for the following summer. A surprise, however, coincided those plans in spring 2003 when Broken Social Scene won a Juno for "Alternative Album of the Year" for You Forgot It In People. In order to maintain praise from critics, the band issued their first ever b-siders & rarities collection, Bee Hives, in spring 2004. For the band's 2005 self-titled studio album, Broken Social Scene once again joined producer David Newfeld. Additional contributions by select members of Stars, Metric, Do Make Say Think, Raising the Fawn, the Dears and others contributed to the ambitious sounds of Broken Social Scene. A joint North American tour with Feist followed its release.

Feel Good Lost

Stomach song

Some boys I know
They speak with broken mouths
I have to sit inside their stomachs
To find out what they're really about

But not like the days
When the sky is blue
And all that I had
Was a little of me in a little of you

Some girls I know
They speak with broken mouths
I have to sit within their stomach
To find out what they're really about

'Cause nowadays
All people want to confuse
To help them not to talk
To help them not to feel

But they can't be their eyes
Several times I’ve seen them try
No, they can't be their eyes

Some boys I know
They speak with broken mouths
I have to sit inside their stomachs
To find out what they're really about


You Forgot It In People

Kc accidental

All you kind
They come in clean
They shut their eyes
They miss their scenes

All your kind
They spoon land-minds
They crush the kiss
They harmonize
All your kind and
All your kind and
All your kind
They come in clean
They sleep through keeps
They kill their needs
It's good

Stars and sons

And when you let it
You ask for nothing
Why don't you share it

All in the time you went
There's someone that left
This one will know
How far I live on

This one will ever know in this town
And in a red room at a distance
How could you know when
You can see through the rest
I don't know when
It won’t be this time

This one will know
How far I live on
This one will know
How far I live on

All in the time you went
There's someone that left
And anyone can find all the rest
How could you show it
You can see through the rest
I don't know when
It won't be this time
This one will know
How far I live on
This one will know
How far I live on
You forgot it in people…

Almost crimes

You're like a missile kind
Little kingdoms in your chest
I told you we make it
It’s all for another
Put on all that mess
I told you we make it
It’s all for a more than now

This is how they wear their all
But we'd look better if we wed

I told you we make it
I bet bleeding comes down lightly
It’s all for another
I told you we make it
I bet mouths suggest
It’s all for a more than now

Help piss love before you leave
Demonstrations lack caress
I wanted to stay there
Naked boys dream so silent
I couldn't I fought it
I know that it makes sense
Children sleep with dicks
But I got know way in here

The Yukon keeps me up all night
Complications seize your best

I told you I want it
I bet bleeding comes down lightly
I know that from you
I waited, I waited
I bet mouths suggest
It’s late night and she’s waiting at home

We got love and hate
It's the only way
We got love and hate
It's the only way

I think it's almost crime
I think it's almost crime
I think it's almost crime
I think it's almost time

Looks just like the sun

Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
He looks just like the sun
Looks just like it,
But a breathing thinking one

Heart is pounding in his chest
Reaches suddenly for his gun
Ship is sailing in the west
A flower that would be his fun
Keep going

Tree of antlers on his head
Weary red split open eyes
I’m on the corner thinking about my bed
He just stands still and signifies

One, two, three
Looks just like
It looks just like it
It looks just the sun
It looks just like it
It looks just the sun
And it looks just like it
Oh I’m breathing
Thinking warm
Here we go
Gold and red the colours change
And she can't forget
Turning back
You know I thought I knew
Thought I knew someone

You better check your watch
I think it's time you left
In darkness still
It's obvious to everyone
Darkness still
It's obvious to everyone
Still it's obvious, to every

But it looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
Looks just like it
Looks just like the sun
Coming after this
Looks just like it
Here we go guys
Looks just like the sun

One, two
One, two

Anthems for a seventeen-year-old girl

Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Now you're all gone, got your make-up on
And you're not coming back
Can't you come back

Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Now you're all gone, got your make-up on
And you're not coming back

Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash
Talking trash, under your breath
Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash
Talking trash, under your breath
Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash
Talking trash, under your breath
Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash
Talking trash, under my window

Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me…

Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Now you're all gone, got your make-up on
And you're not coming back

Cause = time

You come in, check my time
You’ve got fornication crimes
I’ve seen your hope on television

Where you've been, you were not were
They've got tricycles in skirts
This is a mouth that needs religion

And they all want to love the cause
'Cause they all need to be the cause
They all want to fuck the cause

So take me down, down through this
Kill the common law that missed
This is the blood I love to share

Little pistols and companion halls
Desperation tentacles
I’ve been alone since eighty-nine

We've got a menstruating disguise
Then know three completes the five
This is a church that should believe

And they all want to free the cause
'Cause they all need to dream a cause
They all need to be a cause

You've got all and it's
Pretty good, but I
Seem to be in disbelief

You come in, check my time
You've got fornication crimes
I’ve seen your death on television

Cue immortal child like times
Separation is divine
Here is a strike beneath your knees

They all want to love the cause
'Cause they all need to be the cause
They all want to fuck the cause

Take me down, down through this
Kill the white within the bliss
Here is a waiting room
That wants to save your life

They all want to love the cause
They all need to be the cause
They all want to dream a cause
They all need to fuck the cause

Late nineties bedroom rock for the missionaries

All the lights we were

Shampoo suicide

All the lights we were
All the lights we were
All the lights we were
Do you remember...

How they need some fruit and sweet heart
To come a time, some time we spent
I cried for we when all was to come free
At the broken heart in the room
Split your tongue down the semi kind
And show us lovers that don't love to live
Lick the kill that never did
Eat the trees and then get off on time
Get us something with the finger kids
I want it
Put your teeth where you love to love
Drink some spit just to save your life
Bury parents in a moment time
Hate it all and you still use shampoo
You hate it all and you still use shampoo
Find some bullets in a backyard
Shoot them up with your favourite kid
Free them up like it’s another knife
Save them for when you thought you did
Seen the tricks all use shampoo
You hate it all
My daddy told me to get a life
Like the something of simple time
It tastes so good
I've seen your dreams and I wish you would
I’ve seen your choice and it don't taste so good
Sucks the jaws and they won't taste so good
I’ve seen your drugs and the don't look so good
Suck the jaws like I wish you would

Lover's spit

All these people drinking lover's spit
They sit around and clean their face with it
And they listen to teeth to learn how to quit
Tied to a night they never met

You know it's time
That we grow old and do some shit
I like it all that way
I like it all that way

All these people drinking lover's spit
Swallowing words while giving head
They listen to teeth to learn how to quit
Better take some hand and get used to it

All these people drinking lover's spit
They sit around and clean their face with it
You know it's time
That we grow old and do some shit
I like it all that way
I like it all that way
I like it all that way

I'm still your fag

Heard about your wife and kids where we slept
Felt their mouths with stitches at that were slowly lit
Kept your uniform this time because I couldn't quit
Haven't felt the ground so cold without getting sick

And I’m still your fag
I’m still your fag

It's a possibility to live without lips
Clinics love to fill right up with the broken kids
I swore I drank your piss that night to see if I could live
But my wrists couldn't stand the light that we missed

And I’m still your fag
I’m still your fag

You're only coming out
'Cause you came back in
You're only coming out
'cause you came back in

I’m still your fag
I’m still your fag

Market Fresh

Market fresh
Stand by me
Where will it ever land

Scar and stains, Emily
Turn our little crab

I could have meant it if you let me
I could have meant it if you let me
I could have meant it if you let me

Market fresh
Stand by me
Where will it ever land

Scar and stains, Emily
Turn our little crab

I could have meant it if you let me
I'm frozen, frozen, frozen, frozen, frozen...

Backyards

Broken boys look good sitting on their shoes
Silent waves responds expose to fear
Library cards, rented faces, lying on the naked train
Hard parades with nothing skin
Things that breathe way too thin

They lost their lives in backyards
They lost their lives in backyards
They lost their lives in backyards
They lost their lives in backyards

Elevator, red blue stain, best of things
Half way between things and times, a kill
Library cards, rented faces, lying on the naked train
Highways and major club smell stale, almost eyes, a thousand things

They lost their lives in backyards
They lost their lives in backyards
They lost their lives in backyards
They lost their lives in backyards

It's a hard parade, just be courageous
It's a hard parade, just be courageous
It's a hard parade, just be courageous
It's a hard parade, just be courageous
It's a hard parade, just
It's a hard parade
It's a hard parade, just be courageous
It's a hard parade, just be courageous
It's a hard parade, just be courageous
It's a hard parade, just be courageous
It's a hard parade, just be courageous
It's a hard parade, just be courageous
Be courageous
Be courageous
Be courageous
Be courageous
Hard parade just, be courageous
Hard parade just, be courageous
It's a hard parade just, be courageous
It's a hard parade just, be courageous
It's a hard parade just, be courageous
It's a hard parade just, be courageous

Da Da Da Da

I think it's almost time

Time = Cause

You come in, check my time
You’ve got fornication crimes
I’ve seen your hope on television
They all want to love the cause

Lover's spit

All these people drinking lover's spit
They sit around and clean their face with it
They listen to teeth to learn how to quit
Tied to a night they never met

You know it's time
That we grow old and do some shit
I like it all that way
I like it all that way

Now
All these people drinking lover's spit
Swallowing words while giving head
They listen to teeth to learn how to quit
Better take some hand and get used to it

All these people drinking lover's spit
They sit around and clean their face with it
You know it's time
That we grow old and do some shit

I like it all that way
I like it all that way
I like it all that way

Broken Social Scene

Ibi Dreams of Pavement (A Better Day)

Well I got shot right in the back
And you were there
You were there

I said I was never coming back
And you were there
You were there

I know the eye lids are under attack
You were there
You were there

It's like the pressure wants to retract
You were there
You were there

And if God is what they made
Cut the hands off believers
Don't get high on what you create

Well I saw the Gazza turn into light
And you were there
You were there

All the subtractions made it on time
‘Cause you were there
You were there

And all the nice boys wait for a sign
You were there
You were there

And all the time, the time, the time, the time
You were there, you were there

And if love is what they gave
Turn wives into healers
Don't get high on what you create
Oh it might just steal you

7/4 (Shoreline)

It's a shoreline
And it's half speed
It's a cruel world and
And it's time

And you want to get away
Oh where to go to
When you want to get it out
Oh how to get through

If you want get it all
You can own what you choose
When you want live a lie
And love what you lose

It's a shoreline
And it's half speed
It's a cruel world
And it's time

When you want to get away
And try to get through
But you gotta love the lies
The lies they told you
If you try to do it all
Then all will leave you
If you try to steal the fear
The fear will steal you

It's coming
It's coming in hard
It's coming
It's coming in hard
It's coming
It's coming in hard
It's coming
It's coming in hard
it's coming
It's coming in hard
It's coming
It's coming in hard
It's coming
It's coming in hard
It's coming
It's coming in

It's a shoreline
And it's half speed
It's a cruel world
And it's time

It's coming
It's coming in hard

Major Label Debut

I'm just coming here to come down
I could be this
I could move town
Put masseuse right on the guest list
Saw my pause boy, became weightless

And I'm all hooked up
And I'm all hooked up
And I'm all hooked up
And I'm all hooked up

Draper street caught me believing
Spilt their eyes on, on the ceiling
Forced to live like it's a curfew
Translation means I love you

And I'm all hooked up
And I'm all hooked up
And I'm all hooked up
And I'm all hooked up

I'm just coming here to come down
I could be this
I could move town
Forced to live like it's a curfew
Translation means I love you

And I'm all hooked up

And I'm all hooked up
And I'm all hooked up

Fire Eye'd Boy

Until the day you die
You’ll always admit
You were right, you were right
About all of it

Fire eyed boy, gave them all the slip
Fire eyed boy, give them all the slip
If you’re gonna come you’d better make it quick
Fire eyed boy, give them all the slip

Until the day I die
Columbia by plane biplane
Brought us back
Back to life
Drifted off again

Fire eyed boy, gave them all the slip
Fire eyed boy, gave them all the slip
If you’re gonna come you’d better make it quick
Fire eyed boy gets his ass whipped

Fire eyed boy, gave them all the slip
Fire eyed boy, gave them all the slip
If you’re gonna come you’d better make it quick
Fire eyed boy, gave them all the slip
Fire eyed boy, gave them all the slip
Fire eyed boy, gave them all the slip
If you’re gonna come you’d better make it quick
Fire eyed boy gets his ass whipped

Swimmers

I was waiting for you
I was standing around
I was getting older
I was going down

If you always get up late
You'll never be on time
If you always make it
After work
After work
Oh, the day never comes
And you stand up, waiting on

I saw you down there
I know you were tired
I saw you
You looked like a swimmer

All right
I wanna be with you
All the time
Why can't you satisfy
You look good
But you smell bad
You’re the best I

Hotel

Check it

Disappear like a cold in a wall
Five is a number that I dream about
Lick looks like it could've been told
But nein is a word that I dream about

Oh I think it's a far of a way down
Oh I think you loved your life when you came down
Oh I love the lights that don't turn you to fears
Oh you can mind the mind book but you can't get the feel

Hotel

Disappear like a cold in a wall
Five is a number that I dream about
Sleep looks like a mescaline sword
But kind is a word that I dream about

Oh I think it's a far of a way down

Oh I love the lights that don't turn you to fears
Oh you can mind the mind book but you can't get the feel

Handjobs for Holidays

Let me take you on
We'll get high just a little
Try to surface from far
We don't coincide

Has it brought you closer to this
Yeah, has it brought you closer to this

There’s a common line
Tied to believe in
It was a curse from before
That's not much at all

Has it brought you closer to this
Yeah, has it brought you closer to this

We've got eyes that leave us
In places we don't see
We've got eyes that leave us
In places we don't see

Let me take you on
We'll get high just a little
The crowd takes the floor
We don't come at all

Superconnected

Does it come in cages
Does it come in threes
I’m tripping on all the time
I’m tripping like I am seized

Never the car ride
And never the key
Always been failing
Minding my means

And they wanna believe it
And they wanna conceive
There’s a different in texture
I know that I'll believe

And they want to fuck this
Right between the knees
Get a little bit bloody
What is that have to do with me

But I really don't wanna think about those things anymore
No I really don't wanna think about those things, oh
I really don't wanna think about those things anymore
And I die when I think about those things

Was it sectional babies
Was it making believe
They get you like creatures cocks
They get you like creature creed

I've never been sailing
Not unless it's the sea
A typical lazy eye
A stare off for you and me

And they wanna collect it
And they wanna conceive
Get it all connected
With you and you and me

And I love the darkness
Whoops what’s happen to me
I was talking about something
I can’t believe

I really don't wanna think about those things anymore
I really don't wanna think about those things
I really don't wanna think about those things anymore
And I die when I think about those things
I don't really think about those things
I really don't wanna think about those things anymore

I really don't wanna think about those things
I really don't wanna think about those things anymore
And I die when I think about those things

If you’re super-connected
It’s time to leave
If you’re super-connected
It’s time to leave
If you’re super-connected

Bandwitch

Put the little kids in the corner
With their face and their eyes in the corner

My favourite band is a witch
You can lick the corner sides
Find themselves in poet corners
And they still like to ditch
You can lick the cortisone
Yes of course
They’re afraid
It's a find
Complicate
And you can fuck
Demonstrate,
Sleep alone
Demon wait.
Waiting for Joey’s kind
Waiting for Joey’s kind

My favourite band is a witch
You can lick the corner sides
Find themselves with perfect mourners
And they still try to live
You can lick the cortisone

The administration
The pull it surprise
The masturbation
The little morning cries
I wait on fear
In a ray of corners
And mental crimes
I know your singing
Sing it self war time
War time

They like to put the little kids in the corner
With their eyes and face on the floor
I'm waiting for Joey’s kind
I'm waiting for Joey’s kind
You’re in a fucked up band
You’re in a fucked up band
Sections of the solar panel lies
You’re in a fucked up band
All the life
You’re in a fucked up band

They like to put the little kids in the corner
With their face on the floor
Put the little kids in the corner
With their face and their eyes on the floor
On the floor

You want me to keep on going
I know you want you want to keep on going

And you know where ever I am

It's All Gonna Break

It’s all gonna break
It’s all gonna break

When I was a kid
You fucked me in the ass
But I took my pen to paper and I passed
You know I love the shit
’Cause the shit it tastes so good
I got pastures waiting in the woods

It’s all gonna break
It’s all gonna break

Treat me like a sign
Sounds like so oh well
I know times like these are the hell
And when you do the tricks
The tricks look so good
I got buried rumours waiting in the woods
And they try to climb awake
And call me over
Skies they rape and skies are sober.
Minds they fake and minds rolled over
It's good, it's good, it's good.

I know that you’re dying
I know it's true
I know theirs seven thousand things
You rather be and rather do
And I know that you fuck what you love
And you love what you fuck

I'll keep them out girl
I'll keep it true
I'll do anything inside the skin of you
‘Cause I know that the sound of your heart
Is a God I can trust
Like a man, not a boy
I don't love
I just fight with the violence in ourselves

It’s all gonna break
It’s all gonna break

And you all want the lovely music
To save your lives
And you all want the lovely music
To save your lives

Keep it coming
There is no lie to save your life
Keep it coming
This is the lie to save your life

Why are you always fucking ghosts
Why are you always fucking ghosts
Why

It's been such a long
Life that we trust
Your heart is a whore
And love is just lust
You want what you can't
And you can't cause of fear
We’ve got to get
Out of here

Why are you always
Why are you always
Why, why, why
Why

It’s been and it settles down
And fights to love

It’s all gonna break


To Be You And Me EP

Canada vs. America

Mouth's like a cigarette
Hooked on a fever
So devils settle down
Mind is a broken cliff
Hearts full of semen
Minus the breathing
So throw yourself down
Mouths on a distant chest
Minus the breathing
So throw your self down

The big guns are comin' out
The big guns are comin' out
The big guns are comin' out
The big guns, big guns, big guns X2

Cloned in the water
The children are freezing
So throw yourself down
Cancelled the other plans
Leaving the leaving
So throw yourself down
God is a good defence
Blood in the bleeding
So throw yourself down

The big guns are comin' out
The big guns are comin' out
The big guns are comin' out
The big guns, big guns, big guns X2

Your mouth is a cigarette
Your eyes are the fever
So throw yourself down
The mouths on a distant chest
Your mind is a fever
So throw yourself down

The big guns are comin' out
The big guns are comin' out
The big guns are comin' out
The big guns, big guns (x4)

All my friends

All my friends in magazines
Get addicted to the word leave
And they all write songs that they believe
Little lies and massive dreams

And they all request that you slow down
You've got to turn it around
And make a save

There's a whore inside their bed
The duvets wish they were still wet
And all the songs they wrote instead
Your ex-lover is not dead

And they all request that you slow down
You've got to turn it around
And make a save

All my friends in magazines
Got addicted to the word leave
And all the songs that you believe
Once they stop you can't repeat
Yeah once you stop they can't repeat

All the gods

All the gods
Screw it up
They try to hide out
Screw it up X3

All the gods X8
