1. _ Wheat Kings
Sundown in the Paris of the prairies Wheat kings have all their treasures buried And all you hear are the rusty breezes Pushing around the weather vane Jesus In his Zippo lighter, he sees the killer's face Maybe it's someone standing in a killer's place Twenty years for nothing, well that's nothing new, Besides, no one's interested in something you didn't do Wheat kings and pretty things, let's just see what the morning brings. There's a dream where the high school is dead and stark It's a museum and we're all locked up in it after dark Where the walls are lined all yellow, grey and sinister Hung with pictures of our parents' prime ministers Wheat Kings and pretty things, wait and see what tomorrow brings. Late-breaking story on the CBC, A nation whispers, "we always knew that he'd go free" They add, "you can't be fond of living in the past, 'cause if you are then there's no way that you're gonna last". Wheat Kings and pretty things let's just see what tomorrow brings Wheat kings and pretty things, that's what tomorrow brings. more free lyrics |
2. _ Lionized
Cold wind blowing over your private parts I know a lack you've got and it makes a strong case for art. Billboard breasts, they don't have a face, I know that fact you've got, no girl could ever trace. Lionized, Smoking just a little too violently I know that fact I've got and I know it single-mindedly Stupid, stoned cause and effect I know a lack you've got and you don't even lack it yet. Lionized, lionize Tableau Vivant, Roman a Clef. I can't draw, but I can trace I know a lack I've got, an abundance of extra space Cold wind blowing over your private parts I know a lack you've got is to make a strong case for art. Lionized, lionize Tableau Vivant, Roman a Clef, Tableau Vivant more free lyrics |
3. _ Eldorado
He's a man-sized Eldorado, Hooved a doo and who could blame him. Where we going? What's the ticket? Just the mention of Berlin makes me sexy and tired of thinking about drinking for thinking of drinking while thinking about drinking and thinking about drinking It's a man-sized inside Look in here it's all hardwood. What's that smell? Smells like coffee If you regret it please say something, I've got no genius for evil that makes me common and tired of loving, recovering, loving, recoveringlovingrecovering recovering. It's a man-sized inside. He's a man sized - Eldorado, whoopty-do if you can't take it. Where he's going? What's that ticking? Just the mention of Berlin makes me sexy and tired of thinkingaboutdrinkingforthinking ofdrinkingwhilethinkingaboutdrinkingandthinkingaboutdrinking. Tired of lovingrecoveringlovingrecoveringlovingrecoveringloving recovering. It's a man-sized inside. It's a man-sized inside. more free lyrics |
4. _ Pigeon Camera
It was handsome at the auction, oh but when we got it home, it grew into something we could no longer contain Where's our pigeon camera, by now he could be anywhere and after all that training. And after all that training, something we could no longer contain. It's boring, I'm embarrassed, I don't endorse that, I didn't want this This house it has it politics; over there that's my room and that's my sister's. And that's my sister, something we could no longer contain It's boring, I'm embarrassed, I don't endorse that; I didn't want this, it's horrific, I'm embarrassed, I didn't want that, I didn't want this It's like we burned our boots with no contingency plan more free lyrics |
5. _ We'll Go Too
to boldly clap in a room full of nothing you never know, it could be one of those poignant evenings museum's locked and it's long since past closing, you cannot know, you cannot not know, what you're knowing what can you do they're all gone and we'll go too the curtain climbs over me every morning I don't know why I'm so immunized against reforming to coldly slap at a face full of nothing, you never know it could've been one of those looks of longing what can you do they're all gone and we'll go too more free lyrics |
6. _ Fifty-Mission Cap
Bill Barilko disappeared that summer, he was on a fishing trip. The last goal he ever scored won the Leafs the cup They didn't win another until 1962, the year he was discovered. I stole this from a hockey card, I keep tucked up under my fifty mission cap, I worked it in to look like that Bill Barilko disappeared that summer, (in 1950) he was on a fishing trip.(in a plane) The last goal he ever scored (in overtime) won the Leafs the cup They didn't win another until 1962, the year he was discovered. I stole this from a hockey card, I keep tucked up under my fifty mission cap, I worked it in to look like that more free lyrics |
7. _ The Wherewithal
Richard talks too slow he'd get interrupted long before I always loved that guy and he's not on T.V. anymore. To get before he had the wherewithal to get out before He had the wherewithal You've got to coax him slow, that's the only way that he'll confess. Tell him that the truth will help him live with less. To get out before he had the wherewithal to get out before he had the wherewithal. That's a breathy body of work set your sights inward for a leaner look. Richard died real slow, He won't get interrupted anymore. I always loved that guy and he's not on T.V. anymore. To get out before he had the wherewithal to get out before he had the wherewithal more free lyrics |
8. _ 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 it's 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 and 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. more free lyrics |
9. _ Locked In The Trunk Of A Car
They don't know how old I am, they found armour in my belly From the sixteenth century Conquistador, I think They don't know how old I am, they found armour in my belly Fashioned out of machine revving tension Lashing out at machine revving tension Rushing by the machine revving tension Morning broke out the backside of a truck-stop the end of a line a real, rainbow-likening, luck stop where you could say I became chronologically fucked up. Put ten bucks in just to get the tank topped up. 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, everyday 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 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 that I'd carefully dotted, however, everyday 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 let me out let me out more free lyrics |
10. _ Fully Completely
Bring me back in shackles, hang me long out in the sun, exonerate me, forget about me I recommend measures for ending it. Lover, she simply slammed the door. She said, "you're gonna miss me." Wait and you'll see." fully, completely I ponder the endlessness of the stars, ignoring said same of my father. Either it'll move me or it'll move right through me; fully, completely more free lyrics |
11. _ Courage (For Hugh MacLennan)
Watch the band through a bunch of dancers Quickly, follow the unknown with something more familiar. Quickly something familiar Courage, my word it didn't come it doesn't matter Sleepwalk, so fast asleep in a motel that has the 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, it couldn't come at a worse time So there's no simple explanation for anything important any of us do and yeah the human tragedy consists in the necessity of living with the consequences under pressure, under pressure. Courage, my word, it didn't come, it doesn't matter, Courage, it couldn't come at a worse time. more free lyrics |
12. _ Looking For A Place To Happen
I've got a job, I explore, I follow every little whiff And I want my life to smell like this To find a place, an ancient race The kind you'd like to gamble with Where they'd stamp on burning bags of shit. Looking for a place to happen making stops along the way Wayward ho! Away we go, It's a shame to leave this masterpiece With it's gallery gods and it's garbage-bag trees So I'll paint a scene, from memory, so I'd know who murdered me It's a vain pursuit, but it helps me to sleep Looking for a place to happen making stops along the way Jacques Cartier, right this way, I'll put your coat up on the bed Hey man you've got a real bum's eye for clothes And come on in, sit right down, no you're not the first to show We've all been here since, God, who knows? Looking for a place to happen, making stops along the way. more free lyrics |
