Some Fantastic
Barenaked Ladies
One day I will build a fountain,
Drink and never grow old.
Then I'll market an elixer,
That will eliminate the common cold.
Find your sickness on my list,
Pay up front and make a wish.
One day I will work the animals.
All the tests I'm gonna do.
All my stuff's completely natural.
And when we're done we'll boil 'em down for glue.
That we can use to re-adhere
Your lips to mine if you were here.
Chorus:
There's a lot I will never do (There's a lot.)
Some fantastic, I know it's true.
But none as much as my want to be with you.
I can't stand to wait in line long,
So I built a new machine.
It just measures up the distance,
And then eliminates the folks between.
One day I'll construct a satelite,
And I'll name it after you.
'Cause you were the greatest friend of all,
Except for when you split my lip in two.
To see the look upon your face,
When I launch you into space.
Chorus
Bye-Bye self respect.
I haven't had much of it since you left.
I missed out on the best of you.
Someday I will find the secret to your social chemisty,
Then I'll print it ona T-shirt,
And it'll make you wanna be with me.
And if I wear it past your work,
You'll see other guys are jerks.
Much like pheromones for flies,
You will not avoid my eyes.
Chorus
Bye-Bye self respect.
I haven't had much of it since you left.
I missed out on the best of you.

Bye-Bye (Bye-Bye) (3x)
