-------
I was heading to the bus stop matty
you were reading in your room, holed up all day.
you picked me up in a brand new Audi
and said "she bought it for herself on mother's day"
Then we hum along to some familiar tune
"I like women and songs", you said "it's from volume two".
Then you give me one, another you just finished.
You're my library, always open for business.
You never show it, you're just sitting with it.
But I know the score, and you're killin it.
Line after line, when you're taking it in.
Time after time, when you try to fit in to some white shoes or a blue collar.
We listened to your choice for the first 10 seconds.
I turned the dial and it turned your expression,
I said "now haven't you learned your last lesson?"
I try to understand but i just don't get it.
Then we hum along all from memory.
"I like women and songs" and, you said "it's from volume 3".
Take me to the bus stop Matty, drive me back to Hamilton.
You talk about your step dad funny, you sound just like your father's son.
In '98 he liberated every latin rhythm.
He never used to play it cuz she could never stand to listen.
does this song give anyone else the chills??
like idk hearing it live then listening to it just gives me best feeling :)
bands like these make me proud to be Canadian.
I feel like I'll sound like a wannabe hipster trying to get top comment but...
Every time I hear this song, the first 10 or so seconds always makes me feel oddly nostalgic for moment I don't remember.
ArtificialMeat You're not alone. :')
+ArtificialMeat I herd this shit way before you loser.
True..
Under-rated song. Amazing!
cleopatra eyes not winking
This is the only song I've listened to in that last 3 hours... I'm not worried about getting sick of it because quite frankly I don't think it's even possible
True
I found this song back in 6th grade but then for some reason complete forgot the name only remembering the word "book" in the title. I was trying to find it in the beginning of high school. I'm now a freshman in college, and I found it after so long. I love it
Saw these dudes at the Grog Shop in Cleveland this week, was outside smoking with my GF before they went on (while the opening band played), and the lead singer (Max) randomly walked up to us and started a conversation, totally nice guy.
The show was great, these guys sound really good live, and so much energy. I go to about 2-3 shows a year, but my GF knows a lot of people in the industry and goes to a lot more, of all the shows from dives to stadiums she's gone to, told me it was the best live performance she's been to in at least a couple of years.
We don't always agree on music, but I'm really glad she introduced me to them, it's good stuff.
found this song in 2013 and keep coming back.. didn't download it on my phone so I don't get bored on it. pass me my cigarettes.
Probably you also enjoy this slightly faster and more powerfull Version of the Song: vimeo.com/135894862
Came and sang this at our school today... was pretty awesome... Thanks for a great time.
Pure brilliance from start to finish. So underrated.
very true
Saw them open for The Maine and I instantly fell in love. Such a good band!
These dudes are AWESOME. I saw them perform about a month ago and I can't stop listening to them! They performed amazingly and I can tell they're passionate about music. :)
I completely fell in love when I first heard them at the maine's pioneer tour...OMG love so much! Amazing band.
This song is one of my favorites still. The version with lights is a cherry on top. 2021 still listening and felling every word
Fuck it. After hearing this I'm going to join the group and be a hipster now.
If I've been listening to this for half a decade already, does that make me a mega hipster?
Umm. I was there when the sound track was just being made up...Nice try.
Didn't make it sound that way before lol.
Cosmic Vacation it was a spelling mistake....?
AfterYouKnowMe ._.
My favourite song by them for sure!
Proud to be from Hamilton , Ontario. Favourite band is from here
im absolutely hooked on this album #lovearkells
My daughter fell in love with this song as she's been working in her university's library since her freshman year ..."You're my library, "Always open for business. But you never show it; You're just sitting with it.But I know the score, And you're killin' it...well she killed it to graduated Summa Cum Laude and has started a family love affair with this band in the process
I love all the different album covers
Wow. this song is so great.
it thought that too!!! the main singer just has such a prescence on stage!
This is an incredible song.
Nostalgia...
Can't stop listening to you guys lol

This song sounds sooo good!! I love the feel and vibe it gives, so relxaing~ So glad I discovered this band! It's also nice to know there's a song for a book person like me. haha :D
Watch them 3× live and can't wait until the next time.
The Arkells are waaayyy better in concert, but somehow they manage to keep the energy and personality from their live shows in their albums!
One of my go-to happy songs
They're playing a free show in my town. so hyped!
*They're
MusicLyrics *They are
Benjamin Castaneda They're = They are, genius ;).
MusicLyrics
Yes but, "They are" is more correct because contractions are considered less formal.

Listening to good music and making a funny comment and not making people feel bad for voicing their opinions c:
You should try Lights, they toured with her. They even did an acoustic version of this song featuring her. :)
Don't read my math book that slow or open up to a random chapter.

lets not forget, where he hangs out 100% of the time...
sum 41, arcade fire, dallas green, the sheepdogs, rush dude there is a ton of great canadian band !
I heard Book Club in an advertisement many years ago, was it for Sun Life or something?
This would be SO popular if it was played in the UK
