Finger Eleven is an alternative rock band that has earned a devoted following. Their first album, Letters From Chutney, was recorded under the name Rainbow Butt Monkeys, with money won from a rock band search contest on local radio. They changed their name to Finger Eleven for their breakthrough Tip, released on Mercury Records in Canada and re-released by Wind-Up Records in the United States in 1998. The name Finger Eleven comes from an earlier version of the song Thin Spirits from the album Tip. Lead singer, Scott Anderson explains: "when everything is pushing you in one direction and your instinct drives you in another--that’s finger eleven." A year later, drummer Rob Gommerman left the band and was replaced by Rich Beddoe.

Temporary Arms Lyrics

Finger Eleven

I burn and melt and stick and fade
Your temporary arms invade
One of many last warnings
Cannot wipe the conscience clean
The strain wears in you whore me in again
Cannot connect the smirking world
The poison flower comes uncurled
If I believe Im dreaming
And if they find you lost again
What will you tell them then
Collapsing in again you found what makes it sore
You triggered off the feelings that you felt before
I come crawling up again I need to eat I need a friend
Some one with me
No better feeling than escape avoid the feeling so youre
All the guilt pulls away if only forever
Replace the name replace the fear
I cant come out but I want you here
Im laughing now and then it floods
But not out loud
I feel you up and feel you down
I need your space I need it now
Another circumstance has gone and shut you down
Another fear awakened in the fault you found
