tragically hip - 38 years old
Twelve men broke loose in Seventy-Three
From Millhaven maximum security
Twelve pictures lined up, across the front page
Seems the Mounties had a summertime war to wage
The chief told the people they had nothing to fear
Said, "The last thing they wanna do is stick around here"
They mostly came from towns with long French names
But one of the dozen was a hometown shame.
(Chorus)
Same pattern on the table
Same clock on the wall
Been one seat empty, eighteen years in all
Freezing slow time, away from the world
He's 38 year's old, never kissed a girl
We were sitting round the table, heard the telephone ring
Father said he tell em if he saw anything
Heard the tap on my window in the middle of the night
Held back the curtain for my older brother Mike
See my sister got raped, so a man got killed
Local boy went to prison, man's buried on the hill
Folks went back to normal when they closed the case
But they still stare at their shoes when they pass our place
My mother cried, "The horror has finally ceased"
He whispered,"Yea for the time being at least"
Over her shoulder, on the squad car megaphone
Said,"Let's go Michael, son, we're taking you home."
(Chorus)
tragically hip - at the hundredth meridian
Me debunk an American myth?
And take my life in my hands?
Where the great plains begin,
at the hundredth meridian.
At the hundredth meridian,
where the great plains begin
Driving down a corduroy road,
weeds standing shoulder high
Ferris wheel is rusting off in the distance
At the hundredth meridian where the great plains begin
Left alone to get gigantic;
hard, huge and haunted
A generation so much dumber than its' parents came
crashing through the window.
A raven strains along the line of the road,
carrying a muddy, old skull.
The wires whistle their approval,
off down the distance.
At the hundredth meridian where the great plains begin
I remember, I remember Buffalo and I remember Hengelo
It would seem to me I remember every
single fucking thing I know
If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me,
they bury me someplace I don't want to be,
you'll dig me up and transport me, unceremoniously,
away from the swollen city-breeze, garbage-bag trees,
whispers of disease amd the acts of enormity
and lower me slowly, sadly and properly
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy,
At the hundredth meridian where the great plains begin.
tragically hip - at transformation
Gently breathing, lit by the morning sun
Through the night, it'd been raining venom
I want to be kind, not a bullet in the right place
Or just of two minds, more important than importance
I want to help you lift enormous things
A pinch, a sting, I don't feel a thing
As the earth revolved around the sun
All those shadows, waiting round the last lights
To the dream of being, here comes the night
All of the tiptoeing, past all our most-feared buildings
I only say this now because, I didn't when it was happening
I want to help you lift enormous things
A pinch, a sting, I don't feel a thing
But as the earth revolves around the sun
I can see it all at once
And, oh, what a glittering chance
In my head the game goes quiet
And I can see it all at once
Them yelling, "Yer not the goods!
A kid before the rapids! "
But in my head the game is quiet
And, oh, what a glittering chance
Oh, what a glittering chance
Oh, what a glittering chance
At transformation
At transformation
That's my dream of being
That's my dream of being
That's my dream of being
That's my dream of being
tragically hip - bobcaygeon
I left your house this morning about a quarter after nine
coulda been the Willie Nelson coulda been the wine
when I left your house this morning
it was a little after nine
it was in Bobcaygeon I saw the constellations
reveal themselves one star at a time
Drove back to town this morning with working on my mind
I thought of maybe quitting
thought of leaving it behind
went back to bed this morning
and as I'm pulling down the blind
the sky was dull and hypothetical
and falling one cloud at a time
That night in Toronto with it's checkerboard floors
riding on horseback and keeping order restored
til the men they couldn't hang
stepped to the mic and sang
and their voices rang with that Aryan twang
I got to your house this morning just a little after nine
in the middle of that riot
couldn't get you off my mind
so I'm at your house this morning
just a little after nine
cause it was in Bobcaygeon where I saw the constellations
reveal themselves one star at a time
tragically hip - boots or hearts
Well, I think that there's a problem here
Her voice just don't sound right
But I left myself on her answering machine
Said "I'm back in town tonight"
I feel I've stepped out of the wilderness
all squint-eyed and confused
But even babies raised by wolves they know exactly when they've been used
See, when it starts to fall apart, man it really falls apart
Like boots or hearts oh when they start, they really fall apart
Fingers and toes, fingers and toes
forty things we share
Forty-one if you include the fact that we don't care
Now you've blocked off most of mainstreet for your faith parade
Well everyone in town now they'd probably all agree I'm lying in the bed I made
See when it starts to fall apart, man, it really falls apart
Like boots or hearts oh when they start they really fall apart
Well fall apart
Now you won't even let me talk to you, we've got some air to clear
Probably only agree on one thing anyway
That's what the hell is happening here?
Fingers and toes, fingers and toes
Forty things we share
Forty-one if you include the fact that we don't care
See when it starts to fall apart, man, it really falls apart
Like boots or hearts oh when they start they really fall apart
Well fall apart
tragically hip - chagrin falls
By design by neglect
for a fact or just for effect
when they met where they connect
at the confluence of travel and sex
more a trip than a quest
plunged into the deeply freckled breast
where to now? if I had to guess
I'm afraid to say Antarctica's next
or Chagrin Falls, Ohio
where the unknown won't even go
to Chagrin Falls, Ohio
where the unknown don't even go
Home's solitude with options
artificial chaos isn't one of em
return there crestfallen
chagrin fell out of her apron
no profound spell no special effects
the continent tipped and she just quietly left
chagrin falls on our heads
not in a gush but in maddening droplets
Chagrin falls (in Chagrin Falls, Ohio)
Chagrin Falls (where the unknown don't even go)
Chagrin falls (in Chagrin Falls, Ohio)
so falls Chagrin falls (where the unknown don't even go)
so falls chagrin falls
so falls chagrin falls
tragically hip - courage
Watch the band.
Through a bunch of dancers.
Quickly, follow the unknown.
With something, more familiar.
Quickly, somethin' familiar.
Courage, my word.
It didn't come it doesn't matter.
Sleepwalk, so fast asleep.
In a motel, that has a lay of home.
And piss on, all of your background.
And piss on, all your surroundings.
Courage, my word.
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, your word.
It didn't come it doesn't matter.
Courage, my word.
It didn't come it doesn't matter.
Courage, it couldn't come at a worse... time.
There's no simple, explanation.
For anything important, any of us do.
And yeah the human, tragdedy.
Consists of, the necessity.
Of livin' with, the consequences.
Under pressure, Under pressure.
Courage, my word.
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, your word.
It didn't come it doesn't matter.
Courage, my word.
It didn't come it doesn't matter.
Courage, It couldn't come at a worse time.
Couldn't come at a worse time...
tragically hip - escape is at hand for the travellin 039 man
It was our third time in New York
it was your fourth time in New York
we were fifth and sixth on the bill
we talk a little about our bands talk a little of our future plans
it's not like we were best of friends
that number scheme comes back to me
in times beyond our heartbeat
We hung around til the final band
called 'Escape is at Hand for the Travellin' Man'
you yelled in my ear this music speaks to me
they launched into 'Lonely From Rock n Roll'
followed by 'They Checked Out An Hour Ago'
closing with 'All Desires Turn Concrete'
those melodies come back to me
at times beyond our heartbeat
I guess I'm too slow yes I'm too, yes I'm too slow
but you said anytime of the day was fine
you said any time of the night was also fine
I walked through your revolving door
got no answer on the seventh floor
elevator gave a low moan
the pigeons sagged the wire with their weight
listening to the singing chambermaid
she sang 'They Checked Out an Hour Ago'
Those melodies come back to me
in times beyond our heartbeat
I guess I'm too slow yes I'm too, yes I'm too slow
but you said anytime of the day was fine
you said any time of the night was also fine
our heartbeat, our heartbeat our heartbeat
long conversation idle chit-chat
maybe dive in or maybe hang back
idle conversation or idle chit-chat
maybe dive in or maybe hang back
tragically hip - fiddler 039 s green
September Seventeen
For a girl I know, it's Mother's Day
Her son has gone alee
And that's where he will stay
Wind on the weathervane
Tearing blue eyes sailor-mean
As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
For a boy in Fiddler's Green
His tiny knotted heart
Well I guess it never worked to good
The timber tore apart
And the water gorged the wood
You can hear the whispered prayer
For men at masts that always lean
That the same wind that moves her hair
Moves her boy through Fiddler's Green
He doesn't know a soul
And there's nowhere that he's really been
But he won't travel long alone
No, not in Fiddler's Green
Balloons all filled with rain
As children's eyes turn sleepy-mean
And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
For a boy in Fiddler's Green
tragically hip - fireworks
If there's a goal that everyone remembers
It was back in ol '72
We all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger
And all I remember is sitting beside you
You said you didn't give a fuck about hockey
I never saw someone say that before
You held my hand and we walked home the long way
You were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr
Isn't it amazing anything's accomplished
When the little sensation gets in your way?
Not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
Isn't it amazing you can do anything?
We hung out together every single moment
'Cause that's what we thought married people do
Complete with the grip of artificial chaos
And believin' in the country of me and you
Crisis of faith and crisis in the Kremlin
And yeah we'd heard all that before
It's wintertime the house is solitude with options
And loosening my grip on a fake cold war
Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish
When you don't let the nation get in your way?
Not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
Isn't it amazing, you can do anything?
Next to your comrades in the national fitness program
Caught in some eternal flexed arm hang
Dropping to the mat in a fit of laughter
Showing no patience tolerance or restraint
Fireworks exploding in the distance
Temporary towers soar
Fireworkds emulatin' heaven
Till there are no stars anymore
Fireworks aimin' straight at heaven
Temporary towers soar
Till there are no stars shinin' up in heaven
Till there are no stars anymore
Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish
When the little sensation gets in your way?
No ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish, eh?
This one thing probably never goes away
I think that this one thing is probably supposed to stay
This one thing doesn't have to go away
tragically hip - gift shop
The beautiful lull,
the dangerous tug
we get to feel small
from high up above
and after a glimpse
over the top
the rest of the world
becomes a giftshop
The pendulum swings
for the horse like a man
out over the rim
is ice cream to him
the beautiful lull,
the dangerous tug
we get to feel small
but not out of place at all
We're forced to bed
but we're free to dream
all us human extras,
all us herded beings
and after a glimpse
over the top
the rest of the world
becomes a giftshop
I don't know what to believe,
sometimes I even forget
and if it's a lie,
terrorists made me say it
the beautiful lull,
the dangerous tug
we get to feel small
from high up above
from high up above
tragically hip - grace too
He said I'm fabulously rich, c'mon just let's go.
She kinda bit her lip, jeez I don't know.
But I can guarantee
(I can guarantee)
They'll be no knock on the door
(I can guarantee)
I'm total pro
(They'll be no knock on the door)
That's what I'm here for.
I come from downtown, born and ready for you.
Armed with, Will and determination, and grace, too.
The secret rules of engagement, are hard to endorse.
When the appearance of conflict, meet the appearance of force.
But I can guarantee,
(I can guarantee)
They'll be no knock on the door
(I can guarantee)
I'm total, pro here.
(They'll be no knock on the door)
That's what I'm here for
I come from downtown, born and ready for you.
Armed with, skill and it's frustration, and grace, too.
tragically hip - in view
I love you. You know I do
Yea, itâ??s perfectâ?¦well, it isnâ??t and it is
And Iâ??ve been meaning to call you
Iâ??ve been meaning to call you
Then I do
Iâ??ve been meaning to call you
Iâ??ve been meaning to call you
Then I do
Phone rings once
Phone rings twice
Phone rings three times
I am of you
You are in everything I do
I do
I trust you, that makes you true
I donâ??t care if it isnâ??t the way it is
Iâ??ve been meaning to call you
Iâ??ve been meaning to call you
Then I do
Phone rings once
Phone rings twice
Phone rings three times
I am of you
You are always in view
Yea, I am my will
But you are in everything I do
I do. I do. I do
In the Day Eraserâ??s dark of night
In the Excited States, gone in plain sight
Under the wave or by cavelight
I lose, things change, but never in your eyes
I am of you
You are always in view
I am my will
You are in everything I do
tragically hip - lake fever
We can take a bit of a breather or we can skip to the practical part
We can skip to the time of Neither
When we're together, even when we're apart
Tell you a story about the Lake Fever
or we can skip to the coital fury
You didn't say yes or no neither
You whispered hurry
We can take it a little bit further or we can skip to the after-effects part
Not trying to make you a believer
I don't want a lil' piece of your heart
Just telling you a story about the Lake Fever
or we can skip to a neutral fury
You din't say yes or no neither
You whipered hurry
Wanna be a nobody without peer
Wanna be a thought that's never done
Wanna shake your faith in human nature
Wanna break the hearts of everyone
Wanna be your wheezing screen door
Wanna be your stars of Algonquin
Wanna be your roaring floorboard
Wanna break the hearts of everyone
and cause discontent
Until they, ceasing their investigation,
bring back the days' events, good citizens
and time well-spent
Till we're talking in whispers again
[You whispered hurry]
tragically hip - locked in the trunk of a car
Morning broke out the backside of a truck-stop
the end of a line a real, rainbow-likeing, luck stop
where you could say I became chronologically "fucked-up".
Put ten bucks in just to get the tank topped off.
Then, I found a place it's dark and it's rotted.
It's a cool, sweet kinda-place
where the copters won't spot it
and I destroyed the map, I even thought I forgot it,
however, every-day I'm dumping the body.
It'd be better for us if you don't understand.
It'd be better for me if you don't understand
They don't know how old I am,
they found armour in my belly
from the 16th century, conquistador, I think.
They don't know how old I am,
they found armour in my belly.
Passion out of machine-revving tension, lashing
out at machiine-revving tension, brushing by the
machine-revving tension.
