Barenaked Ladies – Enid Lyrics
Artist: Barenaked Ladies
Song: Enid
(The silence, the pain, the terror, the horror
As your mom comes downstairs)
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
It took me a year to believe it was over
And it took me two more to get over the loss
I took a beating when you wrote me those letters
And every time I remembered the taste of your lip gloss
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway
But Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
There were times when I wanted to hurt you
And there were times when I know that I did (whoa-oh)
There were times when I thought I would kill you
But can you blame me? I was only a kid
Now, tell me why we never really respected each other
And tell me why I never believed
That you were a person too
I always thought that you fancied my brother
I may not have liked it, oh but
Memory is a strange thing, oh, and Enid?
Enid, I remember you
Now it’s not fair to say that it’s cause
I was three inches shorter then
And it’s not fair to say that it’s cause
I was only fifteen years old
But maybe it’s fair to say it was a lack of communication
I took a phone message, oh and speaking of communication
Oh, and Enid?
Enid you got a cold
I can get a job I can pay the phone bills
I can cut the lawn, cut my hair, cut out my cholesterol
I can work overtime I can work in a mine
I can do it all for you
But I don’t want to
I can teach you how to dance, how to sing, how to knit
How to make things that you never ever made before
Enid, I can teach you how to use cookie cutters
To make crazy things out of Play-Doh
Little houses, little farms, little accessories for your mom
For your Barbie set, for your friends and your family
Enid, I can teach you how to snowmobile, cross-country ski, snowshoe
But I don’t want to!
