Lyrics for Blame It On Me as interpreted by ojms

Blame It On Me Lyrics
Words and Music by Steven Page & Ed Robertson
Here we are again, and we're looking at each other
As if each other were to blame
You think you're so smart, but I've seen you naked
And I'll probably see you naked again
Milli Vanilli told you to blame it on on the rain,
But if you blame it on the rain, tell me what can be gained
If all else fails, you can blame it on me.

Chorus
If all else fails, you can blame it on me.
If all else fails, blame it on me.
If all else fails, you can blame it on me.

Well here we are again, and you're looking at me
Like there's something I'm supposed to say
Forgive me Father, but I've fallen in love
And that's all I have for confession today
Maybe if you asked me on any other given day
I wouldn't have time for you and the games that you play,
But it's all right now, you can blame it on me.

Chorus

Yes, dear, I love you,
But sometimes I think that love's not enough for you
So you want to play mind games
Well that's fine, go ahead; la la la, I can't hear you

Well here we are and you're a hundred thousand miles
away
They say that absence makes the heart grow fungus
I wax poetic while you're waxing your legs
And you say you think there's a traitor among us
If all else fails, you can blame it on me.

Chorus

This song is pretty self explanatory. The two got in a fight and the "you" of the song is needing someone to blame the quarrel on. Steven tells "you" that you can just blame it on him. I've been a full-out BNL fan for 9 years and this is one of my favorites. I love how the flavor changes throughout the song as the moods change.

Steven Page can't be president, dilhole. He's Canadian. They have a monarchy.

Besides...this author got the lyrics wrong. The second verse goes:
Then you smile again, but you're lookin' at me like there's something I'm s'posed to say,
Forgive me Father, but I'm fallin' in love- and that's all I have for Confession today.
Maybe if you ask me on any other given day,
I wouldn't have time for you, or anything that you say,
So right now, you can blame it on me.

I love this song - partly because of the way they play with words (they say that absence makes the heart grow fungus) expectations (I wax poetic while you're waxing your legs) and how they seem to capture a hard to express idea/feeling in so few words (think you're so smart, but I've seen you naked).

BNL is one of the few bands who actually capture the ways and things that I feel myself. Not just the "She's pretty! Song song singing" pop stuff that gets recorded and pushed for singles every day.

I've been listening to BNL for about 9 years myself too. This is still one of my favorite songs as well :)

Hey Dillhole, Canada is not a monarchy. Its a parlimentary system of government, there's no king nor queen. Ignorant Americans.

hockey: You might have just ruined the internet for me. Who's that on your coins and CDN$20 note?

Quick government lesson: Canada is a member of the Commonwealth, which means Queen Elizabeth II is queen of, among other things, Canada. That means she's also head of state. Ever hear of the Governor General? He's the Queen's representative and acting head of state. In practice? Yes, Canada is parliamentary with no input from the UK. But in name, theory, and organization, Canada is part of a monarchy.

P.S. I'm American. I didn't have to look up the above information, but I did find a link for you: http://www.gg.ca/gg/rr/index_e.asp. In the future, please refrain from making sweeping generalizations. The only acceptable generalization is about the effectiveness of generalizations...not only do they undermine instead of support an argument, but the negative connotations tend to reflect more poorly on you than the people you're trying to generalize.

Now that that's done, this is a great song. As with several of their other songs, I'm not sure whether I want to laugh or cry when I hear it. So I do a little of both. I'm gonna echo one of the earlier statements...Steve Page for POTUS!

Do I really have to explain that I understand the natural-born clause? 'Cause I don't think I should have to.

Here we are again, and we're looking at each other
As if each other were to blame
You think you're so smart, but I've seen you naked
And I'll probably see you naked again
Milli Vanilli told you to blame it on on the rain,
But if you blame it on the rain, tell me what can be gained so
If all else fails, you can blame it on me.

Chorus
If all else fails, you can blame it on me.
If all else fails, you can blame it on me.
If all else fails, blame it on me.
And if all else fails, you can blame it on me.

Then you smile again, but you're looking at me
Like there's something I'm supposed to say
Forgive me Father, but I've fallen in love
And that's all I have for confession today

If all else fails, you can blame it on me.
