Title
|
|
The Tragically Hip
|
|
Been to Reno Drives an El Camino Can you dig that style?
|
Small Town Bringdown
|
|
You know the reasons I can't conceal You know I'm leaving you obviously know how I feel
|
Last American Exit
|
|
I need your confidence Need to know you're mine When it gets right down To the killing time
|
Killing Time
|
|
Evelyn - Evelyn Where were you last night?
|
Evelyn
|
|
I had a heart, but I used to be older I'm not like I used to be
|
Cemetery Sideroad
|
|
The moon goes up I start to sweat, call the doctor Call the vet
|
I'm A Werewolf Baby
|
|
I'm going down to see my highway girl She just came back from around the world
|
Highway Girl
|
|
Well there's a rockin' little spot Next to the Regent Theatre
|
All Canadian Surf Club
|
|
Up To Here
|
|
They shot a movie once, in my hometown Everybody was in it, from miles around
|
Blow At High Dough
|
|
Well, it's 7 a.m. and she awoke by the radio Yea she rolled on over said, "Where did man go?"
|
I'll Believe In You
|
|
Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete Under skies all smokey blue-green
|
New Orleans Is Sinking
|
|
Twelve men broke loose in Seventy-Three From Millhaven maximum security
|
38 Years Old
|
|
Born a queen up on her side, and she felt it too There's a lot you can see when there's nothing to do
|
She Didn't Know
|
|
Well I think that there's a problem here Her voice just don't sound right
|
Boots Or Hearts
|
|
Like anyone I knew a Dave Drove a Plymouth Shallow Grave
|
Everytime You Go
|
|
Afternoon, see a guy with rubies on his head And he's shifting like shifting like he was dead
|
When The Weight Comes Down
|
|
Old lion's dying, got left behind
|
Trickle Down
|
|
He was a coal miner in the spring Blinded with its dusty resolutions
|
Another Midnight
|
|
He bought two fifths of lead-free gasoline Said, "the bottle is dusty, but my engine is clean."
|
Opiated
|
|
Road Apples
|
|
It gets so sticky down here Better butter your cue-finger up
|
Little Bones
|
|
Thar she blows, Jacques Cousteau Hear her sing so sweet and low
|
Twist My Arm
|
|
Angst on the planks, spittin' from a bridge Just to see how far down it really is
|
Cordelia
|
|
Zoo Lion sobers up and starts to scream and shout
|
The Luxury
|
|
Rolling hills all covered in suede I'm heat-nervous and out of road
|
Born In The Water
|
|
Does your mother tell you things? Long, long when I'm gone?
|
Long Time Running
|
|
I'd been carving you To see what form you'd take
|
Bring It All Back
|
|
Tom Thompson came paddling past I'm pretty sure it was him
|
Three Pistols
|
|
We wake up different, rifle through our dreams Another placid day, ripples at the seams
|
Fight
|
|
Here we are, now where are we? It's like nothing I've ever seen
|
On The Verge
|
|
September Seventeen For a girl I know, it's Mother's Day
|
Fiddler's Green
|
|
Violins and tambourines This is what I think they mean
|
The Last Of The Unplucked Gems
|
|
Fully Completely
|
|
Watch the band through a bunch of dancers
|
Courage (For Hugh MacLennan)
|
|
I've got a job, I explore, I follow every little whiff
|
Looking For A Place To Happen
|
|
Me debunk an American myth? And take my life in my hands?
|
At The Hundredth Meridian
|
|
It was handsome at the auction, Oh but when we got it home, It grew into something we could No longer contain
|
Pigeon Camera
|
|
Cold wind blowing over your private parts
|
Lionized
|
|
They don't know how old I am, They found armour in my belly
|
Locked In The Trunk Of A Car
|
|
To boldly clap in a room full of nothing
|
We'll Go Too
|
|
Bring me back in shackles, Hang me long out in the sun
|
Fully Completely
|
|
Bill Barilko disappeared that summer
|
Fifty-Mission Cap
|
|
Sundown in the Paris of the prairies Wheat kings have all their treasures buried
|
Wheat Kings
|
|
Richard talks too slow He'd get interrupted long before
|
The Wherewithal
|
|
He's a man-sized Eldorado, Hooved a doo And who could blame him?
|
Eldorado
|
|
Day For Night
|
|
He said, "I'm fabulously rich C'mon just lets go."
|
Grace, Too
|
|
I can't imagine how you feel and this is how you feel You say your name like you're no longer convinced
|
Daredevil
|
|
Greasy jungle metropolis noir
|
Greasy Jungle
|
|
One day in El Paso The cops go into the crowd
|
Yawning Or Snarling
|
|
You triumphed over will You had immunity to kill
|
Fire In The Hole
|
|
Interesting and sophisticated Refusing to be celebrated
|
So Hard Done By
|
|
I had this dream where I relished the fray And the screaming filled my head all day.
|
Nautical Disaster
|
|
Everyone's got their breaking point With me it's spiders and with you it's me
|
Thugs
|
|
Puffy lips glistening skin And everything comes rushing in
|
Inevitability Of Death
|
|
I could make you scared If you want me to
|
Scared
|
|
I want a book that'll make me drunk Full of freaks and disenfranchised punks
|
An Inch A Hour
|
|
I've often dreamt of a conversation That just keeps coming up again and again
|
Emergency
|
|
Growin' up in a biosphere With no respect for bad weather
|
Titanic Terrarium
|
|
I love you even when I don't even know I'm doing it
|
Impossibilium
|
|
Trouble At The Henhouse
|
|
The beautiful lull, The dangerous tug We get to feel small From high up above
|
Gift Shop
|
|
Instructions from the manual Could not have been more plain
|
Springtime In Vienna
|
|
First we'd climb a tree And maybe then we'd talk
|
Ahead By A Century
|
|
Sled dogs after dinner Close their eyes on The howlin' wastes
|
Don't Wake Daddy
|
|
Does it diminish your Super-capacity to love?
|
Flamenco
|
|
Lets go to the park, Lets go watch 'em floodin'
|
700 Ft. Ceiling
|
|
The sweet sound of patent approval Comin' down in a not quite fog
|
Butts Wigglin
|
|
Illuminate the obvious It's standing right here in front of us
|
Apartment Song
|
|
There's a cannon shooting coconut cream 40 gallons in a steady stream
|
Coconut Cream
|
|
It might be late but it won't be early You got me to the gate with time for a coffee
|
Let's Stay Engaged
|
|
Me and the vivid girl in our hammock to the stars
|
Sherpa
|
|
I wrote unfriendly things, truly cruel, on the day that you were born
|
Put It Off
|
|
Phantom Power
|
|
Spring starts when a heartbeat's pounding
|
Poets
|
|
Your imagination's having puppies It could be a video for new recruits
|
Something On
|
|
The man 'cross the street he don't move a muscle Though he's all covered in dust
|
Save The Planet
|
|
I left your house this morning about a quarter after nine Coulda been the Willie Nelson, coulda been the wine
|
Bobcaygeon
|
|
Thompson Girl, I'm stranded at the Unique Motel
|
Thompson Girl
|
|
Whether laying down yourself beside it Or slipping into its cool and rushing effects
|
Membership
|
|
If there's a goal that everyone remembers, it was back in ol' 72
|
Fireworks
|
|
Titillations been replaced by Interstate brickface and Coffee-Mate
|
Vapour Trails
|
|
Legs scream at bikes And bikes scream at trucks And motorists curse their lousy luck
|
The Rules
|
|
By design by neglect For a fact or just for effect
|
Chagrin Falls
|
|
It was our third time in New York It was your fourth time in New York
|
Escape Is At Hand For The Travellin' Man
|

|
We can take a bit of a breather. We can skip to the practical part.
|
Lake Fever
|
|
Held a bird's egg between her breasts There's reasons for the road, I guess
|
Puttin' Down
|
|
You did the best that you could do You were a great crew
|
Stay
|
|
If you ask me how I knew, I saw you I had a bird's-eye view of a bird's-eye View when I saw you
|
The Bastard
|
|
You lured me with your diamond flower You lured me with talk of still more talk
|
The Completists
|
|
You're older, you're haunted, You're ahead of your time.

I loaded the variables like masterpieces From under the germ-led advance
|
Train Overnight

|
I was first attracted by your scent Your heart must be a caramelized onion
|
The Bear

|
As I wind down the pines It's the lines on your face Playing on your face
|
As I Wind Down The Pines
|
|
In Violet Light
|
|
Hear the ol' whistle blowin' They're pulling the plug
|
Are You Ready
|
|
Use it up Use it all up Don't save a thing for later
|
Use It Up
|
|
Come in, come in, come in, come in From under these darling skies come in
|
The Darkest One
|
|
When the colour of the night And all the smoke for one life
|
It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken

|
There's a still in the night A tuneless moonlight
|
Silver Jet

|
"Why is the world so creepy?", she asked After a car full of haircuts drove past
|
Throwing Off Glass

We were a blow-out of wicked proportions An accidental company
|
All Tore Up
|
|
"Do you mean the attack is routine?" A bird asked of a bird.

In the ulcerating silence Perspective comes The way it always does - for it's ransom
|
A Beautiful Thing
|
|
In that September off Isle aux Morts The desultory sea Grew more so through the night
|
The Dire Wolf

Seventy days to cross the ocean Seventy nights where no one's gonna hear me fall
