"Long Time Running"
Does you mother tell you things?
Long, long when I'm gone?
Who you talking to?
Is she telling you I'm the one?
It's a grave mistake and I'm wide awake.
Drive-In's rained out
Weatherman wet-fingers the sky
He pokes it out, he pulls it in
He don't know why
It's the same mistake
It's been a long time running
It's been a long time running
It's well worth the wait
We don't go anywhere
Just on trips
We haven't seen a thing
We still don't know where it is
It's a safe mistake
It's been a long time running
It's been a long time running
Well, well it's all the same mistake
Dead to rights and wide awake
I'll drop a caribou, I'll tell on you
I'll tell on you, I'll tell on you
You've got a boat-load O'nerve
But I would say you've been told
You work me against my friends
And you'll get left out in the cold
It's the same mistake
It's been a long time running
It's been a long time running
It's been a long, long, long time running
It's well worth the wait
- The Tragically Hip
well, what to say about, in my opinion, the single most important artist in Canadian music history. They are truly poets. Their music has the power to inspire, their stories bring wonder and awe to young and old. Go to any local bar, tavern, pub, or other licenced drinking establishment in Canada on kareoke night and if you choose one of their songs, you'll have the whole place singing along with you. Ive had the incredible oppourtunity to see them live, twice. And it was one of the most moving experiences of my life.
