Issa(pronounced eeee-sah) (formerly known as Jane Siberry, born October 12, 1955 in Toronto, Ontario) is most famous for her early 1980s new wave hits such as "Mimi on the Beach", "I Muse Aloud" and "One More Colour". Internationally, she is best known for her 1993 album When I Was a Boy.Following the commercial failure of her 1995 album Maria, Siberry founded her own independent label, Sheeba Records. She has released all of her subsequent material on that label. Her public profile has been lower since she became an independent artist; however, she retains a devoted cult following. Early in 2006, she closed her Sheeba office, then sold and gave away nearly all of her possessions -- including her home and instruments.

Barkis Is Willin' Lyrics

Jane Siberry

So I'm walking down the road
No one else will take my load
So I will
Everyone is laughing, baby.
And everyone is patting their own backs
But every stone and every stick
And every bone
And every half-hearted
But at least half-attempted half-truth
Will come back to stand with you
When you're alone
There is one thing I forgot to tell you
There is one thing I forgot to say
But if I have the guts to say it
I'm afraid the place where we go to get lost
Would get lost
And so I'm walking down the road
I'm crying, baby
I walked all the way to Whitby
People honk at me.
I shake my fist, sometimes give them the finger
I don't know why I always lie to you
Barkis always tells the truth
Barkis never lies.
Barkis is always willing
Will you marry me awhile?
