Barenaked Ladies - Box/Set [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I never thought that you would love me the way that you do
I never thought that you would love me half as much as I do
You say you wanna know everything about me - well here you go
You say you couldn't live your life without me, I don't know
But if you want it girl, you've got it;
It's all right here, in my box set
I never thought that words like product could ever leave my lips
But something happened to me somewhere that made me lose my grip
Maybe it's a lack of inspiration that makes me stoop
Or maybe it's a lack of remuneration; I can't recoup
But if you want it folks, you got it;
It's all right here in my box set

[Chorus 1]
Disc One:
It's where we've begun, it's all of greatest hits
And if you are a fan then you know that you've already got 'em
Disc Two:
It was all brand new, an album's worth of songs
But we had to leave the whole disc blank cause
Some other label bought 'em
Disc Three:
This is really me in a grade school play;
I had about a hundred thousand lines but of course I forgot 'em

[Verse 2]
I never thought there'd be days like this, there was always someone at my door
I never thought I would ever miss, and the crowd would always holler for more
But now it seems all that people want is what I used to be
And every time I try to do something new
All they want is 1973
I never thought I'd be regretful of all my past success
But some stupid number one hit single has go me in this mess
You can put it on every compilation - that's alright
You can hear it on the oldies radio station every night
And if you want it again, you got it-
It's right here in my box set

[Chorus 2]
Disc Four:
Never released before, and you can tell why
It's just some demos I recorded in my basement
Disc Five:
I was barely alive, I was coughing up a lung
So they had to use a special computer as my replacement
Disc Six:
A dance remix, so I can catch the latest trend
And it'll make you scratch your head and wonder
Where my taste went

[Verse 3]
So now my fans are crying sellout
They say that I've lost my touch
They say I should just get the hell out before I do too much
Hear my songs in an ad for a bathroom cleanser -
They say it's greed
And now I'm wondering where my friends are in this time of need
But if you change your mind and buy it
I hope you enjoy my new box

[Outro]
I hope you enjoy my new box
I hope you enjoy my new box set
