Modern Monday Music: "Beg" by Evans Blue

Some music from this century to get you through a Monday. Evans Blue is a modern rock quintet from Toronto. "Beg" is from their debut album, "The Melody and the Energetic Nature of Volume" (2006). An obnoxious deejay introduces the band in this video, which is supposedly a live performance but has the studio performance of the song as audio. The song begins at the :55 mark.


There's a lit cigarette...
In the hand of my new angel
She's blowing smoke like halos
And now everybody wants her
But I shouldn't even bother
'Cause you made me so complete, dear
But you left me so alone here
Hang a noose for my new sinner
Somewhere everyone can see it

Won't you beg me
And then tell me can I love you
Like anybody else would
I know you're risking failure (risking failure)
Go run for cover (for how long)
You better start to love her
So much you're moving on and on

Now there's a whole wide world...
That wants to know...
Have cheap hotels lost their turn-on?
She's bathing in the neon
And she's polluting all the airways
While I'm passed out in the hallway
And you left me so in love here
You left with so much hate, dear
Was I creating only chaos?
This world lives just fine without us

Won't you, beg me
And then tell me can I love you
Like anybody else would
I know you're risking failure (risking failure)
Go run for cover (for how long)
You better start to love her
So much you're moving on and on

Will it change your life,
If I change my mind?
When she's lit the whole wide world
I want to know...
If you will...

Beg me
And then tell me can I love you
Like anybody else would
I know you're risking failure (risking failure)
But I'd hope you set your levels (for how long)
So you can run for cover
You better start to love her
Now are we this pathetic?
You made me finally see it

(Will it change your life
When I change my mind?
Will it change your mind
When I change my life?)

Go run for cover
You better fucking love her
So much you're moving on
I'm so pathetic,
You made me finally see it
Got what you want?
I'm gone

For how long?
For how long?(For how long)
For how long (For how long)
Will it change your life?
