3) In 2002, Paul Jarvie and Paolo Mischianti were grade 11 students at Charles Best high school in Coquitlam, British Columbia. Each musical from an early age β Paolo trained in classical piano, guitar and bass and Paul in piano and singing β the two were united by a common love of The Beach Boys, vocal harmony, and girls. After learning a few covers of songs by bands such as The Beach Boys and The Beatles, the pair quickly earned a reputation as two of the more musically talented students in school and were asked by a friend to put together a band to play at a birthday party. Confronted with the problem of finding a guitarist and drummer to complement Paoloβs bass playing and Paulβs singing, the two quickly turned to their friends Danny Blackburn and Mike Jones from Centennial Secondary, who by serendipity happened to be the most talented guitarist and drummer, respectively, in their school. Although competent, the then-cover band bore little resemblance to the eclectically creative group which they would become. Nevertheless, their reception was overwhelmingly positive and soon the four friends were inspired to begin writing their own original music. The diverse range of elements which each brought to the music β layered vocal harmonies, surf guitar-esque riffs, buoyant and energetic bass lines, and reggae-influenced drumming β combined to create the unusual style that distinguishes The Goods from their peers in the music world. βGet Rich Quick Scheme,β The Goodsβ entirely self-engineered, mixed and produced EP, was completed in the summer of 2005 after a year and a half of ambitious writing and recording in Mike Jonesβs bedroom/studio, and released on a limited scale to an enthusiastic and growing fan base. The Goods are currently writing new material, planning live appearances for Spring/Summer 2006, and will soon have available a new recording featuring new material as well as re-recorded songs from their first album.
4) The Goods is a band formed by Los Angeles based recording artists Lucy Woodward, Holly Palmer & Michelle Lewis. While busy writing, recording and performing their own music, which is heard on iPods, TV, film and on stages around the world, they first came together to sing at at a mutual friend's Christmas party. It was love at first note. They started writing songs together and called themselves The Goods. Their songs are inspired equally by The Andrews Sisters & Lena Dunham's character "Hannah" from the HBO show "Girls". Stylistically rooted in the swing and boogie-woogie era, their lyrics are strictly 21st century. What has emerged in their writing is an everywoman character who despite her best intentions is always getting into some kind of trouble.
Can't Help Myself
The Goods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's not helpin'
The things I crave are way too much
I'm underpaid
I try my best not to stare outside
But I can't help it
The teacher's askin' way too much from me on monday morning
But if you could just understand
We're only running out of time
And I can't help it
I speak too loud almost all the time
And you can't stand it
I don't know what to do with myself
So I'll just keep on acting normal
Yeah everything's fine
Oh, I don't know what to do
Love, I know you want a better man
But if you could just understand
We're only running out of time
And I can't help it
Love, I know you want a better man
But if you could just understand
We're only running out of time
And I can't help it
Love, I know you want a better man
But if you could just understand
I can't help it
I can't help it
I can't help it
The lyrics to The Goodsβs βCanβt Help Myselfβ focus mainly on how the singer feels like they are stuck in a rut, unable to do what they need to and craving things they can never have. The first verse starts with the singer describing how they are unable to make a decision on what to eat, and the things they crave are out of reach. They feel like they are underpaid and that the teacher is asking too much of them. The second verse talks about how the singer speaks too loudly all the time, but they are trying to keep things βnormalβ even though they donβt know what to do with themselves. The chorus repeats the line βLove, I know you want a better man,β which implies that the singer is in a relationship but feels like they are not good enough for their partner. They are aware that time is running out, but they canβt help the way they feel.
The overall mood of the song is one of helplessness and frustration. The singer is clearly struggling with their personal and professional life, and they are aware that they are not meeting their own or their partner's expectations. The use of the phrase βI canβt help it'' repeated throughout the song emphasizes that the singer feels powerless to change things, which adds to the feeling of frustration.

I need to eat but I can't decide
I am hungry but I can't make up my mind about what to eat
And it's not helpin'
This indecision is not helpful
The things I crave are way too much
The foods I want are too rich or expensive
I'm underpaid
I do not earn enough money
I try my best not to stare outside
I attempt to avoid distraction by not looking out the window
But I can't help it
But I cannot resist the temptation
The teacher's askin' way too much from me on monday morning
The teacher is assigning an excessive amount of work on Monday mornings
Love, I know you want a better man
My love, I understand that you desire someone better than me
But if you could just understand
If only you could comprehend
We're only running out of time
We have limited time left
And I can't help it
And I cannot change my flaws or actions
I speak too loud almost all the time
I have a habit of speaking too loudly
And you can't stand it
And it annoys or bothers you
I don't know what to do with myself
I am unsure of how to keep myself occupied
So I'll just keep on acting normal
So I will continue to behave as expected
Yeah everything's fine
I am superficially calm despite inner turmoil
Oh, I don't know what to do
Oh, I am so lost and confused
I can't help it
I am unable to control or change myself
Love, I know you want a better man
My love, I understand that you desire someone better than me
But if you could just understand
If only you could comprehend
We're only running out of time
We have limited time left
And I can't help it
And I cannot change my flaws or actions
Love, I know you want a better man
My love, I understand that you desire someone better than me
But if you could just understand
If only you could comprehend
I can't help it
I am unable to control or change myself
I can't help it
I am unable to control or change myself
I can't help it
I am unable to control or change myself
