Nickleback, NickelBackBand Name Origins:
- The guitarist (I honestly don't know his name) worked at a local Starbucks in Vancouver for a while in between recording their first album. Any given day he slaved over making customers a mocha (for exactly $4.95), he would say, "Here's your nickel back!" There's your band name origin. (Alan Cross - Explore Music) Submitted by: Darby Hen
- They got the name when Mike Kroeger was working at Starbucks, selling coffee for $1.45 NOT $1.95. and Mike would have to, "give a nickel back." Submitted by: yeah right 2008
Why the Name is Stupid:
- Sounds like a) a less important position on a football team, or b) a special kind of cash refund Submitted by: Mac

"Far Away"
Better Lyrics:
It was one day, a mistake
Some beans I ate
I point my hand at this random man
Who's to say where to point blame
but you know you know you know
I farted I farted all along
I farted I'll fart until I'm gone
Stop dreaming that it wasn't me
Stop dreaming that you'll be free from flatulence
You met me after work a "chair slipped" I'm a jerk
With me you'd withstand
All the smell to hang around
You'd give your ears and your nose
from buying febreeze you're almost broke
cause you know you know you know
You farted you farted all along
I farted I'll fart until I'm gone
Denying if it was me
denying won't make one free from it anyway
Some beans I ate
I point my hand at this random man
Who's to say where to point blame
but you know you know you know
I farted I farted all along
I farted I'll fart until I'm gone
Stop dreaming that it wasn't me
Stop dreaming that you'll be free from flatulence
You met me after work a "chair slipped" I'm a jerk
With me you'd withstand
All the smell to hang around
You'd give your ears and your nose
from buying febreeze you're almost broke
cause you know you know you know
You farted you farted all along
I farted I'll fart until I'm gone
Denying if it was me
denying won't make one free from it anyway
Original Lyrics:
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling Why They're Nonsensical: Um, I'm sorry, but does that make sense to anyone? If you're blind, you obviously can't see, and how does not being able to see have anything to do with you not having a sense of feeling?

The Misrhymed Lyrics: Its not like you to say sorry,
was waiting on different story Why They're Misrhymed: They really stretched to rhyme these lines. He had to pronounce sorry incorrectly (soury) to make it rhyme...plus the line 'are we having fun yet?' line is needs to be burried in the cemetary of catch phrases.

I like the dirt that's on your knees And I like the way you still say please While you're looking up at me You're like my favourite damn disease Why They're Dirty: It doesn't take a geneous to figure out that this song is about some dude, possibly Chad Kroeger, getting into some girl's pants.

| "Animals"
The Dirty Lyrics: You're beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears By now, no doubt that we were heading south I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth 'Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch Why They're Dirty: Obviously they are doing things in a car...like squeezing body parts, and talking with a mouthfull..*wink* *wink*
