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.

Tip Lyrics

Finger Eleven

I gave it all I gave it up then
I took it in and got enough but
I try to cancel out
Whatever I cant laugh about
So what does that say
There cant be anyway
Ive done my worst and no one knows
One more day to fool them all
One more day to drop the ball
One more day to fade away
Fill a head with sand just to make it better
I had the chance to beat it in but I never
I should have taken it right then
One more day to fool them all
One more day to drop the ball
One more day to fade away
Now youve been taken
You wont stop shaking
Embrace every minute
Youre all thats left in it
Its not happening
Some other day youll fool them all
One more day to drop the ball
One more day to fade away
