Caught You On the Throat

Driftwood hit
Your eyes babe
The wood babe
And he stole your fate
But it's god, babe
It's good, babe
You were young
But you didn't suit
You were young
But you didn't suit
Come, come and tell
Your jokes, babe
Your lines, babe
And the punchline broke
Caught you on the throat, babe
The throat, babe
You were young
But you didn't suit
You were young
But you didn't suit

Rosemary, I can stay awake
I eat your woods and spit out a page
Crazy knowing no one drowns…
The stars mark their home on English Bay
Rosemary, Rosemary, Rosemaria
Rosemary, Rosemary, Rosemaria
Rosemary, I can stay up late
You say it well then you take it away
Got no problem, follow up
You're the one I say I'm from
Rosemary, Rosemary, Rosemaria
Rosemary, Rosemary, Rosemaria
Til' I'm stoned at your door
Sayin' please come out to play
Til' I'm stoned at your door
Sayin' I feel good today
So good today
So good today
Rosemary, Rosemary, Rosemaria
Rosemary, Rosemary, Rosemaria

Wait, is that you
You look changed since 22
Don't resist
One last time can be as long as you want it
But I guess it's been a while
I guess it's been a while
Paint on your smile
Man, that dress looks better than I realised
But I guess it's been a while
Guess it's been a while
In time, you shook me loose
Now I foot around wondering if I'm right for you
But I guess it's been a while
Guess it's been a while

On the Dance Floor
03:17
|

On the front porch
Of my place on the Danforth
I scored in the music hall
I counted our footsteps
And as we danced, you undressed
I hoped it'd feel as good as before
On the floor
On the floor
Where's the guy I saw
At the back of the restaurant
He knew how I wanted to love
And we were warm
We were warm
She's got your name
She's got your name
She's got your name
We picked up some seeds and
Thought we'd grow the sunset
To make it easy to fall asleep
In your arms
In your arms

Friends and Dinner
02:26

Here's the place
I'm drained
The cooling breeze
And the come-down
Pick a room
Pick a room
And pour the coffee, I missed your face
The waterline tripped the dog
And she's a little porchlight
She's a little porchlight
And pour the coffee, I missed your face
I don't know why, but I feel a kind of way
I sleep at night, but I don't ever wake

This Horse Has Gone Down
02:49
|
|||
|
This horse has gone down again
'Cause he's tired of living
Pulling punches after lunch
And taking drugs
So goodbye
Goodbye
Well it's hot in the evening
And he's trouble sleeping
And he dates who he knows
And they all look the same
So goodbye
Goodbye
Wait
Wait
Well this horse has gone down
'Cause he's tired of living
Pulling punches after lunch
And taking drugs

A Pretty One

|
It's a waltz now
With your saint's mouth
Where we're living
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me when you're ready
Man, when it's winter in this city
You can really feel everything
But I don't really feel it all
You leave
I leave
And then we're finally alive

She Prefers Halifax
02:26
|
|||
|
Cut like a horse on fire
Lyin' on seeds
Cruise like a 50's car
"This thing's got speed"
But she prefers Halifax
She prefers Halifax
And, and the country stirred
Torn up, free
Come to the mother you love
And that's me
I own Calgary
Hi ho Calgary

The Victor's Bell
02:37
|

|
God doesn't play fair with me
He stops me living the dream
Guess I should loosen my grip on his neck
You know he wants a quick death
I'm ring-ring-ringing the Victor's Bell
I'm ring-ring-ringing the Victor's Bell
God, don't change a thing
No one leaves the ring
Guess I should stop falling for the bait
But I like the wait
I'm ring-ring-ringing the Victor's Bell
I'm ring-ring-ringing the Victor's Bell
God, get some sleep
We could use the peace
God, caught on both sides
Never had the left, and now you lost the right
I'm ring-ring-ringing the Victor's Bell
I'm ring-ring-ringing the Victor's Bell

Under a sleepy eye
He drifts awake into the day
He's going to snowy campus
For a date
He trudges up the Main
And stares at his country's flag
He meets her in the garden
He speaks too fast
And she says "Save me a role to play"
And she says "Save me a role to play"
She watches his reaction
He's always staring at the sky
She says it always changes
Except when you're staring
And she says "Save me a role to play"
And she says "Save me a role to play"

And You Stirred

I won
Once I was
Was I ever
I coulda won
A bit of weed
A bit of water
On our own speed
And I have asked
You to dance
Over, and over
