Barenaked Ladies ~ The King Of Bedside Manor


Words & Music by Steven Page & Ed Robertson You know he's not the kind of man who likes to see the world around him Crumble to a ball around his feet. So he's always ready, he's always set, he's always well prepared, he's the most peculiar man you'll ever meet. Chorus You know he's not the king of Bedside Manor. He's not the Tom Jones that lives next door. He's not the king of Bedside Manor. He hardly even lives there anymore. He says excuse me, I hope you don't mind that I followed you into this shop but I couldn't help but notice that riding crop. Sticking out of your haversack, um, I wouldn't mind riding you bareback. He's subtle on the dancefloor and he's suave around the bar. He's a quickdraw with a lighter, he's a pseudo movie star. You know he was quite a singer, quite an actor quite some time ago. He had quite a famous program, late night bedtime tv show. Chorus Well he opens up the curtains at the crack of dawn just to see the lovely ladies who have come and gone. From the house next door to his house on the lane He consoles himself that he's got his health and he knows he can't complain. Chorus He's not the King of Bedside Manor He's not the King of Bedside Manor Hardly even lives there anymore. Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto He's not the king, he's not the king, he's not the king of Bedside Manor. more free lyrics

Words & Music by Steven Page & Ed Robertson

You know he's not the kind of man who likes to see the world around him
Crumble to a ball around his feet.
So he's always ready, he's always set, he's always well prepared,
he's the most peculiar man you'll ever meet.

Chorus
You know he's not the king of Bedside Manor.
He's not the Tom Jones that lives next door.
He's not the king of Bedside Manor.
He hardly even lives there anymore.

He says excuse me, I hope you don't mind
that I followed you into this shop
but I couldn't help but notice that riding crop.
Sticking out of your haversack, um,
I wouldn't mind riding you bareback.
He's subtle on the dancefloor and he's suave around the bar.
He's a quickdraw with a lighter, he's a pseudo movie star.
You know he was quite a singer, quite an actor
quite some time ago.
He had quite a famous program, late night bedtime tv show.

Chorus

Well he opens up the curtains at the crack of dawn
just to see the lovely ladies who have come and gone.
From the house next door to his house on the lane
He consoles himself that he's got his health and he knows he can't complain.

Chorus

He's not the King of Bedside Manor
He's not the King of Bedside Manor
Hardly even lives there anymore.

Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto

He's not the king, he's not the king, he's not the king of Bedside Manor.

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
