Metric are a band with an eclectic, adventurous outlook, whose music encompasses elements of synth pop, new wave, dance-rock, and electronica and whose hometown has vacillated between Toronto, Montreal, New York, Los Angeles, and London over the course of the group's existence. Metric's story began in 1998, when vocalist/keyboardist Emily Haines met guitarist James Shaw in Toronto, Canada. Although born in New Delhi, Haines -- the daughter of Paul Haines, a Canadian-American poet best known for his collaboration with jazz artist Carla Bley -- had moved to town by the age of three. While studying at the Etobicoke School of the Arts, a high school for aspiring artists in Toronto, she met fellow students Amy Millan and Kevin Drew, future members of Stars and Broken Social Scene. After attending university in Vancouver and Montreal, she returned to Toronto in 1997 and eventually crossed paths with the British-born Shaw, who'd relocated to Toronto following three years of study at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City. Haines and Shaw discovered they were musically simpatico and began writing songs together. During a sojourn in Montreal, Haines and Shaw began recording demos of the material that would become Metric's debut EP, Mainstream. After its release in 1998, the two relocated to Brooklyn, New York, and collaborated occasionally with Torquil Campbell and Chris Seligman of the group Stars, which later included Amy Millan. After cutting more demos using synths and a drum machine, they were scouted by representatives of a major music publisher who flew them to London to work with producer Stephen Hague. Haines and Shaw combined the London-recorded tracks with material they cut in Brooklyn, and the results formed Metric's first full-length album, Grow Up and Blow Away. In 2000, Metric returned to the United States to sign a deal with Restless Records, but shortly before the album was scheduled for release in 2001, Restless was bought out by Rykodisc, and under the new ownership the Metric album went onto the back burner. Around this time, Haines and Shaw met drummer Joules Scott-Key, a Michigan native who'd relocated to Brooklyn after attending a music school in Texas. Scott-Key was soon invited to join Metric, as was bassist Joshua Winstead, who had attended the same Texas school. Metric's members moved to Los Angeles while trying to sort out their deal with Restless, with Haines and Shaw returning to Toronto for a spell to work with their old friends Amy Millan and Kevin Drew in the group Broken Social Scene. Once they reconvened in L.A. and began working with their new rhythm section, Metric decided that the pop-oriented, electronic sound of Grow Up and Blow Away was no longer representative of their music. Metric subsequently parted ways with Restless and took the masters for Grow Up with them. In the fall of 2003, the Canadian independent label Everloving Records (later re-baptized Everloving) released Metric's second "debut" album, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? The album, which was also picked up by Last Gang Records, became a major critical and commercial success, especially in the band's native Canada. It was followed in 2005 by Live It Out, another successful release, and the group embarked on a lengthy international tour before taking a hiatus. During the break, Haines went on an extended vacation in Argentina and made guest appearances on albums by the Stills and Jason Collett, in addition to releasing two records with her solo project Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton. Scott-Key and Winstead moved to Oakland, California, and formed the band Bang Lime. Shaw headed back to Toronto and opened a recording facility, Giant Studio. A revised edition of Grow Up and Blow Away received a belated release in 2007, and Metric regrouped one year later, after Haines decided she'd had enough of the downbeat music she'd composed with the Soft Skeleton. Now based in Toronto once again, the group began working on a new album, Fantasies, which was self-released internationally in April 2009 following a drawn-out negotiation with Last Gang Records, who agreed to release the band from its roster. Fantasies became the group's most successful album to date, selling 250,000 albums in less than a year, going platinum in Canada, and spawning a Top 20 single on the American rock charts without the benefit of a label. The album's success led to them winning 2010 Juno Awards for Band of the Year and Alternative Album of the Year. They also made a splash in the world of cinema, scoring a prime spot on the Grammy-nominated soundtrack to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse with the theme song "Eclipse (All Yours)" and contributing a song (the unreleased track "Black Sheep") to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O'Malley actually took inspiration from Haines and Metric when creating the character Envy Adams in the books; in the film she and her band the Clash at Demonhead (with actress Brie Larson singing over the original backing track) play "Black Sheep." In 2011, the band teamed with Academy Award-winning film composer Howard Shore on the soundtrack for David Cronenberg's adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel Cosmopolis. The movie premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, right around the time the group's fifth album, Synthetica, was released on the Mom & Pop Music label.

When she was seven years old she saw a man get shot but No one came along for a long time because it happened in a remote parking lot in Las Vegas And she was waiting for her mom to come back from working the blackjack table at the Circus Circus casino And that night her mom said that the two of them and the now dead guy Were the only 3 people who ever lived in Las Vegas. Everybody else just arrived, ate their complimentary shrimp cocktails, and left Rock me now In the arms of cobwebs It's a one room city, yeah It's a one room city, yeah So can you roll with me Roll me out In the arms of cobwebs It's a one room city, yeah His value declined Ah ah ah ah ah When he offered his name.

Piss poor, riding high, sunbathing fireside We're here for the porn or the sirloin Get your T-bone, let your backbone slide Tunnel and sky collide Lose friends to the airwaves and the airlines I want to make it right Some future in my eyes, bright Hush don't explain When you water down my name I'll be up too late Call me when you get Better at your game You haven't beat me yet The waitress, the actress Has got the skin and the bones With the hairbrush and an air brush She'd be white gold She asked the piss poor "Why are you looking for that party in the sky It's just a movie about a movie, too old to die" But I'm going to make it right Some future in my eyes, bright Hush don't explain When you water down my name I'll be up too late Call me when you get Better at your game You haven't beat me yet Though my vision is strained I'm going to make it right Some future in my eyes, bright Hush don't explain When you water down my name I'll be up too late Call me when you get Better at your game You haven't beat me yet Though my vision is strained Hardwire
Giving the chances to Leave the basement life Another landlord's wife Furnished room Celebrate the first flight window bird's eye view You, hardwired, I'll try to play the guitar Stay focused on the first boring morning Though we both see it coming, we don't run. Let the silence settle in our bones You are everything You are nothing at all You are everything You are nothing at all You are every night You fade to light, fade to light the room Daylight hides a new one on you Giving the chances to Take it all in stride while we walk a broken line A line of signs You, hardwired, I'll try to play the guitar Stay focused on the last boring morning Though we both see it coming, we don't run Let the silent settle in our bones You are everything You are nothing at all You are everything You are nothing at all You are every night You fade to light, fade to light the room Daylight hides a new one on you You leave your eyes there for me to memorize I can see you happy in the shadows I despise I'll try to play the guitar I'll try to play the guitar I'll try to play the guitar I'll try to play the guitar
Old World Underground, Where Are You Now ?
*** Thanx a lot to the Official Metric Website for these lyrics ***
IOU Old world underground where are you now Subtract my age from the mileage On my speeding heart, credit cards Accelerate, accumulate Looked for you downtown Wound up in a movie with no story Now it's late And you are nowhere to be found Hesitation's always mine Hesitate outside the times With all I don't say With all I don't do I'm sending you Invitations to hesitate too Every ten year-old enemy soldier Thinks falling bombs are shooting stars sometimes But she doesn't make wishes on them When she wishes She wishes for less ways to wish for More ways to work toward it Ten year-old enemy soldier Our falling bombs are her shooting stars Hesitation's always mine Hesitate outside the times Oh call me or drop me a line Say you've been with me Say you've been with me Say you've been with me This whole time Old world underground I never knew you But i've seen your face everywhere There was a farm before we tore The small town down Multiply divide Hustle rose
Behold the fishnet slut tonight Hustle rose goes from limb to limb Fingertip to painted lip She sways her way up to him Says, “now that your wallet is all lit up Now that your wallet is all lit up Now that your wallet is all lit up Now that your wallet is all lit up Now that your wallet is all lit up Now that your wallet is all lit up Now that your wallet is all lit up Now that your wallet is all lit up You're gonna wanna wear it out” If you're looking for something life-like Hit a sardine nightclub If every surface you touch is cold Never go home He says, “i can't feel a thing My dreams are so tight Why wouldn't I stand in line tonight?” Now that your wallet is all lit up Now that your wallet is all lit up Now that your wallet is all lit up You're gonna wanna wear it out You're gonna wanna wear it out Now that your wallet is all lit up Now that your wallet is all lit up Now that your wallet is all lit up You're gonna wanna wear it out You're gonna wanna wear it out You could throw me a bone If I get too close you wake me up Remind me softly to go If I forget won't you wake me up Remind me not to feel a thing Keep the dream tight I can't feel a thing My dreams are so tight I can't feel a thing My dreams are so tight Why wouldn't I stand in line tonight?

Live It Out
Empty There was no way out, the only way out was to give in There was no way out, the only way out was to give in How I love to, how I love to How I love to give in Here no one sleeps, one lays up while the other lies down Where no one sleeps, one lays up while the other lies down Ask the line on your face what the line on your hand meant We couldn't see what was coming Shake your head it's empty Shake your hips move your feet Shake your head it's empty Shake your hips move your feet I'm so glad that I'm an island now Sickness was fixing me some Coughed out my heart in the last stall Now that the damage is done I never miss it at all Glass Ceiling Only know what I'm told, only know what I'm told Fast asleep daydreaming Start to push, break your own glass ceiling Can't count, can't catch the pieces falling Who let it end up on the ground How am I gonna know you're letting me down How did I end up on the ground Only do what I'm told, only do what I'm told Last to leave cold calling You're gonna lose your arms, amputate plasticine There's no knight in silver armor shining Who let it end up on the ground How am I gonna know I'm letting you down Who let it end up on the ground How did he end up on the ground Face down on the ground Only go where I'm told, only know what I'm told Inch to inches crowding We can't leave, it's the last road open Every speed on our knees is crawling Handshakes Say you wanna get in And then you wanna get out When you get the money To buy yourself a castle How will you wear your leisure Zipper back and front On the fence together Weekends in leather Flip to the right Slip back to the left For handshakes at the ranch Small talk at the crossroads Rubbing up to the ladder Sucking on every rung Coming up forever and hanging on That's entertainment Cameras roll Can you face the pavement For a happy dog and pony show Everybody loves you baby Do you miss me I miss you Buy this car to drive to work Drive to work to pay for this car Too Little Too Late You can burn your paper fingers in the ashtray Place your swollen lips on mine You can shave your heavy head in my carpeted hallway Sure for the first time you're wearing the right clothes Now take them off Meet me on the band room rug Tie my right hand to the ride You can take a live wire into the bath with you For a feeling you can't find You can entertain your childhood friends with a tour of the bedroom Laugh to erase the dirt on your mind Oh let's move out Meet me at the motel Tie my right hand to the bible Too little too late but we can't say no It's too much to feel Tie my right hand to the bible Poster of a Girl Can't stand by myself Hate to sleep alone Suprises always help So I take somebody home To find out how I feel I feel like just a baby Portrait of a lady Poster of a girl
Satisfy myself Avoid beginners Who long to shut my mouth Till I take one of them home Cause I know how it feels Filling in the blanks Looking on the bright side When there is no bright side Coming in your pants For the off chance With a poster of a girl Poster of a girl Poster of a girl Poster of a girl Poster of a girl Poster of a girl Poster of a girl Poster of a girl

Suckers Summon some willpower to weather the walk Don't run, suffer the three flights up Some folks still willing to pay five bucks Don't die in the meantime, love Tone-deaf dumb comments set the whole chain off Insane levels of a violent mob Shared it, clicking the bait, but I won't Don't get it contaminated, love Hot not hot summer day, but I'm cold I'm coming down with the rain I'm through with finding some other way Every night in my room Who's the product, me or you Small opinions, commentators of what Puffed up, scroll the finance page by thumb Take us for suckers, we suck it up But not forever, the beginning's come The storm is not the wave The heat is not the sun The voice is not the call The world behind a wall The hands are not the touch The eyes are not the view The voice is not the call The world behind a wall The world behind a wall The world behind a wall If you feel so bad, bad about it Then step out from behind the wall of the world If you feel so bad, take a look from the outside You've been staring at the wall, never watching the world If you feel so bad, bad about it Then step out from behind the wall of the world If you feel so bad, take a look from the outside You've been staring at the wall, never watching the world Find another frequency, you remember the melody There's something more beyond the wall of the world If you feel so bad, bad about it Step out from behind the wall of the world You've been staring at the wall, never watching the world There's something more beyond the wall of the world

Descendants I lie awake with a stomachache And the first man drowns In the last man's tears How many rounds of monogamy Find me listing the glut of believers I myself played the lottery Blame myself in the cold with a fever How much guilt can you tolerate Count myself among liars and cheaters Roughed up riding a tidal wave Time is up for your favorite deceivers Life or death hangs in instant change Ripping the gun from the hands of the shooter Seconds away from the end coming sooner Saving the day when I'm seconds away from the end No, I don't get mad retroactively And I don't get caught in the spokes of the wheel Kick back on the sidelines a better place Damn sure I don't ask how they pack that arena I once set foot out where no one would I should pat myself on the back in the morning But I lie awake with a stomachache Stuck in my ways and afraid of conforming Stuck in my ways and afraid of conforming Stuck in my ways and afraid of conforming Stuck in my ways and afraid of conforming It goes by in a rush and there's only so much you can change I feel numb Descendants End of descendants All independent Go Ahead And Cry I was floating on by with the morning on high Like a girl in a song from the seventies Every mirrored sunglass said hello as I passed Not a thing in the world that should worry me Suddenly The sky is falling The sky is falling I wish this all was a lie The sky is falling The sky is falling It's not the wolf that will cry, cry Go ahead and cry, cry Go ahead and cry I was floating along fine, what could go wrong I'm used to the solitude anyway I was crisp and chill as a hundred dollar bill Treat an overcast day like an overdue holiday Call my mom, bake a cake, smoke a bong Cook hot knives hash like it's nineteen ninety-eight I'm losing my mind Losing my mind I wish this all was a lie The sky is falling The sky is falling It's not the wolf that will cry, cry, cry Go ahead and cry, cry For everything we did As we stalled and rushed Mother nature is laughing at us So go ahead and cry, cry Go ahead and cry, cry

Forgetting all you wanted, you have to ask me for nothing You're giving all you want, you have been asking for nothing That's right I'm trying to find a way back It doesn't mean anything to you. It's so obvious at times we try and slide it good (it's all right, it's all mine) Oh to roll together everything we've built inside But up I fall, and nothing, But up I fall, and nothing Now you're holding them, and you can't say too much for me Then what do you think? You've never made it taste that good I'll be over soon, and you'll remember who showed you
The End Has No End (The Strokes cover) One by one, ticking time bombs won It's not the secret of the government That's keeping you dumb Oh it's the other way around, wait What's that sound One by one, baby, here they come Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin He wants it easy, he want it relaxed Said I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that Two steps forward, then three steps back Alright Won't you take a walk outside Oh no Can't you find some other guy Oh no One, nine, six, nine, what's that sound Oh no Keeping down the underground Oh no The end has no end The end has no end The end has no end The end has no end He want it easy, he want it relaxed Said I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that Two steps forward, then three steps back Alright Won't you take a walk outside Oh no Can't you find some other guy Oh no One, nine, six, nine, what's that sound Oh no Keeping down the underground Oh no The end has no end The end has no end The end has no end The end has no end The end has no end The end has no end The end has no end The end has no end The Lifestyle
(Never the lifestyle baby, for you and me) I wish you were a song to play, I wish you had something to say The Mandate
As far back as it goes, we watch the time go by and say our mother's names with a smile. Remember how she sang you a lullaby How did she ever do such good for you Take me back where I used to live. I want to see my old friends and how they've changed. I always said that when I grew up, I would give my friends another chance to see their lives rearranged. If they want to see me, I'm going to be at the bottom of the hills. I'm going to be standing with my back against the valley walls. I'm going to look up at all the cool kids standing in their running shoes I'm going to walk away from all of them. That's the last thing I can say about the future. I don't really know much about what we're going to do when the days go by (as they're wasting) I guess all I really know about where we're going to go is by looking at where we've been to. And I'm still looking at you, and I'm always looking for you Whenever I'm not, I'm looking for you. The People
Not looking for reasons, not trying to understand Not trying to catch your eye, not trying to touch your hand Not trying to show you a part of me no one else can find But I will bring a song to you, who will buy my time? The people get philosophical and say there is no future I am trying to tear myself away from your eyes The people get philosophical and say there is no future Nothing is as blinding as your eyes Not watching the seasons, watching days flow by No quenchless autumn breezes, late tomorrow skies Are you frightened by the moment? i softly lie Where i thought i would always be, i let myself get by The people Get by Not looking for an ending to make the pieces fit Need is always pending on how much you can get Get by you now Get on you now
Under The Milky Way (The Church cover / The Time Is Now! LP) Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty The sound of the breath fades with the light I think about the loveless fascination Under the Milky Way tonight Lower the curtain down on Memphis Lower the curtain down on ? I got no time for private consultation Under the Milky Way tonight Wish I knew what you were looking for Might have known what you would find And it's something quite peculiar Something shimmering and white Leads you here, despite the destination Under the Milky Way tonight Wish I knew what you were looking for Might have known what you would find Wish I knew what you were looking for Might have known what you would find And it's something quite peculiar Something shimmering and white Leads you here, despite the destination Under the Milky Way tonight Wish I knew what you were looking for Might have known what you would find Wish I knew what you were looking for Might have known what you would find Under the Milky Way tonight Under the Milky Way tonight Under the Milky Way tonight Under the Milky Way tonight
Waves ( Fantasies EP) Saw the water, not the waves Caught your eye, forgot your name Always leaving, either way I want you to stop me Episodes to fantasize TV movie of our lives The future is all mine I'll find it on my way back When I'm gone I'll know what I've done I'll go where I don't belong It's all, not one I love everything No sleep I lose everything Oh, don't tell me again I won't see you again Not one I love everything No sleep I lose everything Oh, don't tell me again I won't see you again Saw the waves, but not the tide I couldn't stay, I don't know why A sailor married to the sea My luck is a lost key The door is locked from the inside Don't wait around, I won't arrive Keep a room somewhere for me I'll find it on my way back When I'm gone I'll know what I've done I'll go where I don't belong It's all, not one I love everything No sleep I lose everything Oh, don't tell me again I won't see you again Not one I love everything No sleep I lose everything Oh, don't tell me again I won't see you again
Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself (Morrissey cover / Live on VH1's You Ought Know) The sanest days are mad Why don't you find out for yourself Then you'll see the price very closely Some men here They have a special interest in your career They wanna help you to grow And then siphon all your dough Why don't you find out for yourself Then you'll see the glass Hidden in the grass You'll never believe me, so Why don't you find out for yourself Sick down to my heart That's just the way it goes Some men here They know the full extent of your distress They kneel and pray and they say "Long may it last" Why don't you find out for yourself Then you'll see the glass Hidden in the grass Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Bad scenes come and go For which you must allow Sick down to my heart That's just the way it goes Don't rake up my mistakes I know exactly what they are And what do you do Well, you just sit there I've been stabbed in the back So many many times I don't have any skin But that's just the way it goes
