Metric are a Canadian rock band founded in 1998 in Toronto. The band consists of Emily Haines (lead vocals, synthesizers, guitar, tambourine, harmonica, piano), James Shaw (guitar, synthesizers, theremin, backing vocals), Joshua Winstead (bass, synthesizers, backing vocals) and Joules Scott-Key (drums, percussion). The band started in 1998 as a duo formed by Haines and Shaw with the name "Mainstream". After releasing an EP titled Mainstream EP, they changed the band's name to Metric, after a sound that was programmed by Shaw on his keyboard. In 2001, Winstead and Scott-Key joined them.
Their first official studio album, Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?, was released on September 2, 2003. It was followed by Live It Out, released on October 4, 2005. The album was nominated for the 2006 Polaris Music Prize for the "Canadian Album of the Year" and for the 2006 Juno Awards for "Best Alternative Album". Their third studio album, Grow Up and Blow Away, was recorded in 2001 and it was initially planned as their debut album. The album was delayed for many years and it was finally released on June 26, 2007, with some changes to the track list. Some songs were also slightly reworked.
All the gold and the guns in the world couldn't get you off
All the gold and the guns and the girls couldn't get you off
All the boys, all the choices in the world
I remember when we were gambling to win
Everybody else said better luck next time
I don't wanna bend like the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend, is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
All the lace and the skin in the shop couldn't get you off
All the toys and the tools in the box couldn't get you off
All the noise, all the voices never stop
I remember when we were gambling to win
Everybody else said better luck next time
I don't wanna bend like the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend while you're giving me a hard time
I remember when we were gambling to win
Everybody else said
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Ooh, ooh
More and more, more and more
More and more, more and more
And more and more, more and more
More and more and more and more
More and more, more and more
More and more, more and more
And more and more, more and more
More and more and more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
More and more, more and more
More and more, more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
And more and more, more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
More and more and more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
More and more, more and more
More and more, more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
And more and more, more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
More and more and more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
More and more, more and more
More and more, more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
And more and more, more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
More and more and more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
More and more, more and more
More and more, more and more
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
