Lucky :: Bif Naked

Many of you know that although I generally dislike television, I am WAY into "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Love it. One of the (many, many) cool things about "Buffy" is that they frequently have awesome musical guests on the show (Such as K's Choice - Sarah Bettens - among others). One of the musicians I discovered via "Buffy" is Bif Naked, a singer from Canada. She sang her song "Lucky" from her "I Bificus" album, which prompted me to buy the record, though it took me several years from when I first saw her on the show to find her and her music! At any rate, the album is pretty good - it has some slow moments, but there are a number of good songs on it. Her music is sort of punk-pop-ish... At any rate, there are several songs I would have liked to highlight from the album but was having difficulty finding versions of them on the internet that I could post. Her song "Lucky" is reasonably well-known, so I am posting that one, as it was easy to find. However, you can hear clips from "I Bificus" on Bif Naked's website, http://music.bodoglife.net/bifnaked/music.php, along with clips from her other albums, including a newer one released in 2005. I would HIGHLY recommend checking out the rest of her stuff! Much of it is a lot more upbeat than this song.

This song is a bit melodramatic, but I think the melody is hauntingly catchy, and also have found that despite its slow tempo, this is a good one to rock out to in the car. Her music video is kind of strange, so bear with it...



"Lucky"

It was a monday, when my lover told me,
"never pay the reaper with love only."
What could i say to you, except, "i love you."
And "i'd give my life for yours."

I know we are... we are the lucky ones.
I know we are... we are the lucky ones.
I know we are... we are the lucky ones, dear.

The first time we made love, i... i wasn't sober.
(and you told me you loved me over and over!)
How could i ever love another, when i miss you every day...

Remember the time we made love in the roses?
(and you took my picture in all sorts of poses!)
How could i ever get over you, when i'd give my life for yours.

I know we are... we are the lucky ones.
I know we are... we are the lucky ones.
I know we are... we are the lucky ones.
I know we are... we are the lucky ones, dear.

My dear, It's time to say i thank god for you.
I thank god for you in each and every single way.
And, i know... i know.. i know.. i know...

It's time to let you know. time to let you know.
Time to let you know. time to sit here and say...

I know we are... we are the lucky ones.
I know we are... we are the lucky ones.
I know we are... we are the lucky ones.
I know we are... we are the lucky ones, dear.
We are the lucky ones, dear...
