Words and Music by
Steven Page & Ed Robertson
Did you know?
Enid was inspired by a waitress.
A waitress that worked at a diner named Enid.
Can you spell dine backwards?
Yet another play on words the clever BNL came up with.
The silence, the terror, the pain, 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 lipgloss.
Chorus
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 really never knew each other anyway
There were times when I wanted to hurt you ,
And there were times when I know that I did.
There were times when I thought I would kill you,
But can you blame me I was only a kid.
Tell me why we never really respected each other
And tell me why I never believed you were a person too
I always thought that you fancied my brother.
I may not have liked it, oh but memory is a stranage thing, oh
And Enid? Enid I remember you.
Chorus
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 you told me to get lost.
Now it`s not fair to say that it`s `cause I was three inches shorter then,
And it`s not fair to say it`s `cause I was only fifteen years old.
But maybe it`s fair to say there was a lack of communication;
I took a phone message, oh and speaking of communication, oh,
And Enid, Enid you caught 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.
Chorus
(Ed)
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!
(Andrew)
I took you dancing, paid for your nightschool.
