Three months after Last Exit's initial U.K. release, Domino picked up the album for distribution in the U.S. The Domino version added a bonus disc with B-sides and remixes from the 12" releases. The relatively slick So This Is Goodbye followed in 2006. The single "In The Morning" was featured in an iTunes commercial in 2007.
On July 10, 2007, Junior Boys second album was revealed as being on the shortlist for the 2007 Polaris Music Prize. They did not ultimately win the prize.
In September 2008, Morgan Geist's album "Double Night Time" was released with five songs performed by Jeremy Greenspan.
On April 7, 2009, the duo released their third full length album, Begone Dull Care on Domino records. The album is named for a short film by Academy Award-winning National Film Board animator Norman McLaren. The front cover gives the band name in French, along with Caprice en Couleurs, the French title of the film; the entirety of the liner notes is presented bilingually, including song titles.
On June 13, 2011, Junior Boys released It's All True. It is the fourth studio album. You are viewing an older version of this page, from 23 May 2016, 1:29. You might like to view the latest version. The music belongs to oren maizlin and only.
The Equalizer
Junior Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What for?
Get lost
Off the floor
'Cause there's fire all around
'Til my hands tap the door
Spring time
You're going to wish that we were friends
That we talked
You'll never feel so sure again
So now
There'll be no more lessons no more cures
'Til you get yours, baby, in the end
Oh run
Give way
Which face?
Whose name?
You're falling from my eyes
To the bottom, you're all the same
Spring time
You're going to wish that we were friends
That we talked
You'll never feel so sure again
So now
There'll be no more lessons no more cures
'Til you get yours, baby, in the end
Spring time
You're going to wish that we were friends
That we talked
You'll never feel so sure again
So now
There'll be no more lessons no more cures
'Til you get yours, baby, in the end
At first glance, Junior Boys' "The Equalizer" appears as a classic dance track. However, upon closer inspection, the lyrics reveal that it carries a much deeper message. The opening lines, "so stay, what for? get lost off the floor," sets the tone for the song, urging the listener to step back and reassess their priorities. The repeated refrain of "springtime, you're going to wish that we were friends, that we talked, you'll never feel so sure again," could be interpreted as a warning. The idea that something is going to happen in the future, and it will be too late to fix it. The lyrics of the song ultimately suggest that we all need to take responsibility for our actions and be aware of our surroundings in order to make a difference. Until we do, we may not receive any more lessons or cures.

So stay
Remain in your current position
What for?
What is the purpose or reason for staying?
Get lost
Leave this place
Off the floor
Move away from the ground
'Cause there's fire all around
There is danger present in the surroundings
'Til my hands tap the door
I will not leave until I reach the exit
Spring time
The season of spring
You're going to wish that we were friends
You will regret not having a friendly relationship with me
That we talked
That we had a conversation
You'll never feel so sure again
You will not experience such confidence again
So now
At this moment
There'll be no more lessons no more cures
There will not be any more teachings or remedies
'Til you get yours, baby, in the end
Until you receive what is coming to you, eventually
Oh run
Escape quickly
Give way
Make space for me to pass
Which face?
Whose face is it?
Whose name?
Who is the person being referred to?
You're falling from my eyes
You are losing my respect
To the bottom, you're all the same
Everyone is equal when they are at their lowest point
Spring time
The season of spring
You're going to wish that we were friends
You will regret not having a friendly relationship with me
That we talked
That we had a conversation

So stay (Be free)
What for? (Free from what?)
Get lost (Go find out)
Off the floor (It's not there)
'Cause there's fire (blood) all around
'Til my hands tap the door (DNA)
Spring time (Youthful delusion)
You're going to wish that we were friends
That we talked
You'll never feel so sure again
So now
There'll be no more lessons no more cures
'Til you get yours, baby, in the end ('Till you become and adult and face responsibility)
Oh run
Give way
Which face? (Are you human?)
Whose name? (Which religion?)
You're falling from my eyes (You made a choice)
To the bottom, you're all the same (But how? There is no certainty)
Spring time (Teenage bloom)
You're going to wish that we were friends (Foresaw wisdom)
That we talked (That you read a lot of books)
You'll never feel so sure again (You are aware that you haven't read that much)
So now
There'll be no more lessons no more cures (Books can't cure aging)
'Til you get yours, baby, in the end (But you can do better as an adult, teach others)
Spring time (Feeling of youth)
You're going to wish that we were friends (That you knew then what you know now)
That we talked (That you faced reason)
You'll never feel so sure again (Because you're now an adult and aware of death)
So now
There'll be no more lessons no more cures (Death is imminent)
'Til you get yours, baby, in the end (Can you prevent death?)

@jojosmojojo
@MrApplethief I checked out Caribou and its awesome. Living in the US, we miss out on the avant garde of art. Happens every time. Automobiles were invented in the US, now Japan and Europe basically rapes our automotive industry lol. Rock n' roll was invented by Little Richard, and Britain sweeps in and dominates the genre. House was invented in Chicago, now France is THE country for house music. Its really hard to keep up on good music in the US. Thanks for telling, much appreciated.
