Barenaked Ladies – Alternative Girlfriend Lyrics  Share

From Barenaked Ladies's album: Maybe You Should Drive

Words & Music by Stephen Duffy & Steven Page

You^,re in an all-girl band
Your futon^,s second hand
Your parents understand but you don^,t care
I have a job in a shop
I^,m an undercover cop
I make sure the customers aren^,t thieves
Old at being young
Young at being old
Everything^,s on hold within our evolution

Chorus:
You^,re my alternative girlfriend
I love you, and now you cannot pretend
There^,s nothing left that won^,t cross over

Last night we slept on the lawn
you woke up and I was gone
[ Alternative Girlfriend lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/b/barenaked-ladies/alternative-girlfriend/ ]
Back to the dream I dream to leave
My life with her is a bore
A worn-out metaphor
No more surprises up its sleeve
We^,re old at being young
Young at being old
Everything^,s been sold to other^,s revolutions

Chorus

You live above your dad^,s four-car garage
With your vinyl and imaginary entourage
if I pull up in a U-Haul, pack up quick
So we can get out of this town ^,cause it makes me sick

Chorus
