“Look At You,Gord”
It was all so swell
It was such a buzz
It really was
Flyin here,we were flyin there
Cashin our cheques at the end of the week
High fivin’ all the people in the front seats
I played the guitar
I was a busy rockstar
In the solo band from the singer of the Hip
A friend of mine
I even got a chance to meet Bobby Orr
Later that night i went walking on the shore
Singing a song,shoutin at the sky
On an island on a great,great lake.
Did i mention i met him at your wake?
Look at you Gord you’re still taking us on adventure
Look at you Gord you’re still taking us on a ride
Godamn you Gord you’re still taking me on adventure
Godamn you Gord you’re still full of surprise
I shouted to the sky,
“Godamn you Gord”

“Yellowknife OpenMic”
That Monday night
Up in Yellowknife
One of the better days of my life.
Open mic…
We rush the stage
Free stylin
Joyful rage
Clarkie,Pee and me
Julie on bass
Big man on the mic
Josh sawing logs back at the band house.
People jumpin on tables
Outta their fuckin minds
Screamin with delight
Oh what a night in Yellowknife.
Free stylin on stage
There he is
Big man on the mic
‘Country of Miracles’
Open mic…
There they go
Can we roll the piano up on the stage?
Those things are heavy
Who’d a thought?
People standing on tables
Outta their fuckin minds
I’m callin my friends.
Then the mosquitoes came out
[Kept us inside]
Bigger than your hand

“Here Comes Water”
‘True sailing is dead
Screaming
Drowning
And the first animal is jettisoned’
-Jim Morrison
Here comes the water
I feel it on my toes
Here comes the water
Much more i suppose
Here comes the water
Up to my knees
Here comes the water
Think it’s time to flee
Here comes the water...
Hard to take a breath

“All Just Children”
We’re all just children floating on this ball
We’re all just children we’re not really so tall
We’re all just kids sailing on this ship
We’re all just kids we’re not so hip
We are living what we are given
Sometimes it’s not much
Sometimes all you need is a touch
We all…
Like flying a kite
Wetting the bed at night
We’re all just children deep inside
We’re all just children trying to find a place to hide
Sometimes there’re hard to find
Sometimes it’s so hard to find
But you gotta keep looking
Don’t ask me why
Don’t ask me why
That’s what they say

“Horse Trank”
Can you deliver me from evil?
‘Evil?’
Every generation has their heroes
Heroes dont disappear
No one’s gonna know when you look in the mirror
Heroes never disappear
Heroes jump into the mirror
Every generation.
Put the PCP down your nose
Put the PCP down
Horse tranquillzer get’s you nowhere
I need some horse tranquillzer
Look at my brain
Racing too high
Racing too fast
Horse tranquillizer
For ever and ever…

“Heroic,Like A Tree”
To live heroic like a tree
To live one’s life heroic like a tree
Majestically.
May you wake up singing everyday
Find a note in the comfort zone
And you may never be alone
Find your note in your comfort zone
You will never be alone
To live a life heroic like a tree
Majestic

“Cryin Birds”
This a sound you’ve never heard
This is a sound that has no words
This is a sound of the birds’ crying
‘Hey Mister don’t chop my tree
Friend of the neighbourhood you’ll never ever be’
This the sound you’ve never heard
This is the sound of a crying bird that lost it’s home
All alone
All alone
This is a sound that you hope you never hear
A bird with fear
‘Hey Mister don’t chop my tree
Friend of the neighbourhood you’ll never ever be if you do that
Not cool at all’
This is a sound i hope you never hear
A bird with fear
This is a sound you’ll never know
This is a sound has no words
This is a sound never heard
This is the sound of the crying of the birds
Crying
We’re all cryin for the birds

“Ballad Of Cathy Pantlynne”
She was maybe 12 years old
Cathy Pantlynne
She lived down the street
Down the road i should say
She lived down the road…
Cathy Pantlynne
Haw haw haw
Everybody made fun of Cathy Pantlynne
Had pimples all over her face
Wore glasses
And a dress hung down to the ground
She wore glasses
Pimples all around
Pimples…
She had pimples
She had glasses
Everybody made fun of her face
She wore a dress hung down to the ground
She wore her dress hung down to the ground.
One morning they found
Cathy Pantlynne
Dead in her bed
She drank anti-feeze
She thought it was creme de menthe
She was 13 years old
This all happened down the street
On Sodom Road.

“The Older I Get{More I Need Rocknroll}”
We walked outta the water
I know we can get out of this war
We’ve done it before.
You’ve heard it all before,that’s ok
That’s why it sounds so mystifying and yet satisfying
I can’t explain
I dont know
Felt it before and i’ll feel it again
This strange feeling when you’re making music with everybody
You don’t need a guitar
You don’t need a drum
All you need to have is a whole lotta fun
Older i get the more i need rocknroll
The older i get the more i need
Good rockin fuckin rocknroll.
All your idols tumble down
What did you expect?
Daddy how’d I get here?
If you find a place safe n warm
Try to hold on for all your worth
Even if it’s nothing
Even if it’s something
Hold on for all that you’re worth
Even if you’re worth nothing.
Hold on to your baby for all you’re worth
Even if you aint worth nothing
Even if you think you’re worth something
Hold on to me baby for all you’re worth

“The Death Harvest”
They cried,
‘Silence,
Like a killer
Silence it like a thriller’
Great enabler
Architect
Suggested light came later
Much like the floods
Breaking away
Falling away
Falling to bits
Building contempt
Taking the hits
Just like that…
On the fields they planted seeds
Of a very dark nature
They soon found that there’s one law
And another
And another and another and another
Here we are on the balance beam
Riding the wave
Riding it to the grave
We reach for the sky and stretch
Climb to the sky
We’ll climb to the top
Or the bottom
It doesn’t mater where you’re going or where you come from
It’s where you are now
Who are you now?
Going in circles spreading the truth
C’mon and lets embrace
I’ll get down on my knees and i’m begging when i say
‘Let’s embrace
You know what’s good
Like i do.’
