Northern Canada

Maybe I envy your new situation
Seems you’re on the path to your dream occupation
Maybe I’m longing for the past
And hoping something dead could last
Maybe I just wanna be beside you
Maybe I just don’t want someone else inside you
Maybe you make me wanna sing
You make me want to buy a ring
Chorus:
I wanna fuck you
It’s just my luck you moved way up to Northern Canada
where I can’t stand the cold
I came to mend it
You said let’s end it now before we get too old
Maybe I’m addicted to the ways that you hurt me
Maybe it kind of feels good when you desert me
Maybe this will be a good release
Maybe you’ll be a missing piece
Maybe it’s ‘cause I always knew it
Maybe I just wanna prove I can do it
Maybe if you apologized
I’d scream at you until you cried
Chorus
Maybe I’m scared that you still need me
Maybe I’m scared you really freed me
Maybe you’ll regret that day
And all the years you’ve thrown away
Maybe I’m scared of what I’ll find
Maybe I’m scared to leave you behind
Maybe we’ll both stay all alone and reconnect at the nursing home

Haven't Brushed my Teeth
01:51
|
|||
I haven’t brushed my teeth in two days but I’m still gonna give you a kiss
I haven’t brushed my teeth in two days but you know true love is bliss
My breath is bad but I’m not sad
Cause minty fresh is just a fad
I haven’t brushed my teeth in two days but I’m still gonna give you a kiss
I didn’t brush my teeth one morning then I went to my buddy’s house
We ate some food and smoked a doob and I passed out on the couch
But the couch was small I couldn’t sleep at all
And your phone was off when I tried to call
So I didn’t brush my teeth in the morning and I walked out with a slouch
I haven’t brushed my teeth in two days my mouth is fuzzy and green
I haven’t brushed my teeth in two days and now I can get ‘em clean
But you’re in my bed so I jump in instead
And lay a stinky kiss upon your pretty head
I haven’t bushed my teeth in two days but I’m still gonna give you a kiss

In a Hotel
03:53
|
|||
I’m sittin’ in a hotel on a mountain
Countin’ cracks up on the ceiling
And teardrops on the floor
I’ve never missed someone like this
But I’ve never lost someone like you before
Just laid up in a hotel on a mountain
Countin’ lives we’ll never lead
And naming kids we’ll never know
I miss you like I wonder what the Beatles might have done
If they kept on going after Abbey Road.
Would they have been the first band to record live on the moon?
Would they have traded in their submarine for a hot air balloon?
Would Paul have stayed a vegetarian?
Would George have shaved his beard?
Would they have mellowed out with age or got progressively more weird?
Would they have invented dubstep in 1976?
Would they have beaten Bowie to dudes dressing up like chicks?
Would they have written out a treaties on the band’s philosophies
Telling how a gun is happiness when love is all you need?
And if Mark David Chapman kept his shitty ass at home
Would they be on reunion tour forever like the Stones?
If Ringo got his nose fixed and stole Yoko away from John
Would Johnny have just let it be or got his elephant and gun?
All the children sing:
I’m joking around but now and then I really do wonder
Whether we missed out on some of the best fucking music
Never created by man
And I remember we used to believe if two people
Could make something that good we can
But now I’m pinin’ for you darling on a mountain
Countin’ things we said we’d do together
As we rolled through the years
Taking on the world around us
Taking on the greatest of our fears
I’m hurting in a bad way on a mountain
Countin’ memories unmade
And naming kids we’ll never know
I miss you like I wonder what the Beatles might have done
If they kept on going after Abbey Road

Lonesome and High
02:55
|
|||
On the day you left me I was feeling mighty sore
My broken heart was lying in three pieces on the floor
For years I was a diamond but you turned me back to coal
And so I climbed up to my room and smoked a little bowl
Chorus:
You’re gone and I miss you so I sit and I cry
I’m high and I’m lonesome, I’m lonesome and high
You left without warning, you never told me goodbye
I’m high and I’m lonesome, I’m lonesome and high
They say it’s better to lose a love than not to love at all
I tell ‘em loves a mountain and the climb’s not worth the fall
How can I mend this broken heart I need a magic tonic
Or government grown medical grade BC hydroponic
Chorus
I’ve been useless as can be since you’ve been gone so long
Can’t say I’ve cried an ocean, but enough to fill my bong
Now the smoke is salty and it tastes like misery
I should just buy a volcano and vaporize your memory
Chorus

Bored
03:49
|
|||
Youth stole the sun when it aged
Left us something worse than rain or rage
The atmosphere is overcast, too vast, and awfully dull
Empty, yet heavy, yet unemotional
Chorus:
I am bored and unenthusiastic
My smile is numb my laughter is plastic
Kids today are too fucking sarcastic
Everybody’s too fucking sarcastic
Nothing is happening here
I wish that the sky would fall down or disappear
I don’t care if the world around me blossoms , fades, or rots
Even rotting would be better than this dreariness we’ve got
Chorus
Uninspired, unromantic
I’d unconditionally rather be frantic
This ennui is killing me, oh lord I wish it wasn’t
Something might happen, but then it just doesn’t
Something might happen, then it doesn’t
Once again it almost was, but it wasn’t
Oh I hardly ever talk to my cousins
Do you ever talk to your cousins?
Chorus

Girls with Glasses
04:47
|
|||
Chorus:
This one’s for the girls with the glasses
Who look so much better, so much better
than they see
Yet I wonder if they didn’t wear their glasses
IS there a better chance, a better chance
That they’d look twice at me?
My oh my, Those eyes those eyes
Can’t look away, I gotta say
I did your retinas,
I dig your lashes
Your perfect pupils
Framed by your glasses
Chorus
Those winking games, those hipster frames
A fleeting glance, ocular dance
I dig your teardrop factories
Your optical control
Your facial highbeams
The windows to your soul
Chorus
There’s nothing wrong with the nerdy type
You know I love that look
Of a quiet girl, bespectacled
And buried nose deep in a fantasy book
Where names all start with ‘Zed’
And you don’t always die when you’re dead
Ah did ya hear me when I said?
Chorus

The Downside
03:27
|
|||
Oh the snow falls up when I’m upside-down
And I mostly am when I go to town
People call me blue but I’m really red
That’s the way it goes when I’m on my head
That’s the way it goes x3
When I’m smelling all your toes
You all look swell when I’m way down here
I can’t help but grin from ear to ear
But to figure me out might take a while
What you think’s a frown is the way I smile
When I’m upside down x3
This stupid grin upon my face becomes a stupid frown
Sometimes I just feel so screwed
How lord how can I swallow my food?
My belly’s aching full of pain
My breakfast slides into my brain
That’s the way I am x3
My brain is scrambled eggs and ham
When I’m off to bed and the day is through
And I’ve done all that I want to do
Yes I have my fun cause I really try
Though my head’s down here I am usually high
I’m usually high, unusually high
And that’s not a metaphor

Wrong Side of the Bed
04:01
|
|||
Watching you sleep is enough to keep
Me up until the dawn
Hearing you snore is never a bore
I’m waiting without a yawn
I stay quiet for through your dreams I fear I may tread
Beside you I cannot wake up on the wrong side of the bed
Beside you I cannot wake up on the wrong side of the bed
Unknown kisses I lay while you’re sleeping away
Resting your pretty green eyes
There can be no improvement on rapid eye movement
My darling you’re truly a prize
I listen for the lullaby that’s playing in your head
Beside you I cannot wake up on the wrong side of the bed
Beside you I cannot wake up on the wrong side of the bed
The night is old the earth is spinning
As long as I’m near you it feels like I’m winning
The floor is cold the sun is rising
You’re so familiar, you’re so surprising
Your eyes are off duty so you can’t know the beauty
That’s keeping me up all night long
I hope this has taught you I’m glad that I’ve got you
My love’s in the words of this song
There’s nowhere at all I’d choose to be instead
Beside you I cannot wake up on the wrong side of the bed
Beside you I cannot wake up on the wrong side of the bed
You continue to snore oh I think ‘bout tomorrow
And the nights of the rest of my days
My thoughts start to wander into the yonder
I’ll stay with you through this great maze
One day my honey we’ll surely be wed
Beside you I cannot wake up on the wrong side of the bed
Beside you I cannot wake up on the wrong side of the bed
The night is old…
I can’t help but grin as I tickle your chin
Run my fingers through your tangled hair
I know as sleep takes me that when the sun wakes me
You’re still gonna be lying there
There’s things ‘bout tomorrow I surely do dread
But I won’t start my day on the wrong side of the bed
I’ll be starting my day on the right side of the bed

Poutine de L'Amour
05:29
|
|||
(ENGLISH TRANSLATION)
I would like to go with you
To a restaurant just down the street
Everybody there is really nice
And if you ask they will give you the legs of a frog
Come over there with me my darling
And we will have an extraordinary experience
Just close your eyes and count like this 1,2,3,4
And then eat with me the Poutine of love
Chorus:
I would like to eat your face on the moon with some cheese
And I would like to eat your heart with the poutine of love x2
I was surprised when I learned you were a seperatist
I hope it’s not because of me, if yes, I will be sad
When I look in your eyes I see the sun
And like the people of Trois-Rivieres I shout “A Ouai”….like a duck
You’re my little bescherrelle (verb conjugating book), you are my candy
And I would like to get in your pants
I feel sad because you won’t give me your heart
I play the violin but I’m not a rapist
Chorus
Your eyes are more beautiful than the stars in the sky
Your legs are also beautiful, what time do they open?
Today we’ll drink at “Pub des Forges”
And maybe afterwards I’ll take off your bra
If you don’t give me your heart
I’m going to have to go look for your little sister
But every day I hope, but no, I believe
That you want to eat the Poutine of Love with me
Chorus
Why why why why why….why do you want to break my nuts?
Chorus

Silver Hair
02:47
|
|||
I’ve got me a silver hair though I’m not very old
But you know I wish my silver hair was one made out of gold
I’d cut it out and weigh it and to the store I’d go
To get a check and cash it in to pay the dues I owe
I was getting desperate so the other day I tried
To get a job at a restaurant but when I got inside
I thought why don’t I go right on and rob everyone in here
Now I got more money than if I worked there for a year
When I was a little boy my daddy said to me
Go sleep if you want to chase your dreams
Stay in bed if you want to succeed
The early bird might catch the worm and if thats what you seek
Just remember that the hungry fish gets a hook right through his cheek
I know this lonely jester who sits at home and cries
I know this lady Lucy who is really awful shy
If you approach her corner she just heaves a gloomy sigh
Tells you someplace better you might like to try
She just sits on the corner
Watching all the losers walk on by
I’ve got me a silver hair though I’m not very old
But you know I wish my silver hair was one made out of gold
I’d cut it out and weigh it and to the store I’d go
To get a check and cash it in to pay the dues I owe

Wut Wuz
03:06
|

I could have tried a little harder
Played my cards a little smarter
Could’ve gone a little farther
than we did
Coulda learned a different rope
Found another way to cope
But I climbed a slippery slope
and down we slid
Chorus:
I don’t feel too good anymore
There’s lunatics outside my door
They all wanna beat me and cheat me
While my own mind tries to defeat me
Maybe it’s because
So much is gone of what was
So much is gone of what was
Sometimes I totally regret you
Curse the day on which I met you
Try to make myself forget you
Then I think
You were worth every bit of trouble
If not thrice then surely double
You’re the sparkling bubble dancing
In my drink
Chorus
Time has passed and I’m no better
I’m a full time choice regretter
Won’t find any blanket wetter
in the mud
I’m the lint inside your pocket
I’m a bulb without a socket
Just a fuse without a rocket
I’m a dud
Chorus

Marina
02:51
|
|||
I like you as much as I can
In the time that I’ve known you
I like what you’ve shown me
I don’t want to own you
But I could do more than just bone you
And slink out your door in the morning
I’m sorry that canine attacked you
Your eyes are so feline
And so is your star sign
Goddamn girl you’re too fine
And I think that that’s why that dog
Tried to dine on your thighs
And maybe give you rabies
It’s cool that you listen to bluegrass
And your mom does reiki
But if you don’t take me
It’s not like you’ll break me
I won’t let girls make me too sad anymore
Get me feeling all bad like before
Is it stupid to tell you I dig you?
I’m sorry you got meningitis
And your brain got swollen
I like how you handle
You’re so uncontrollin’
If I took you bowlin’
Could we get things rollin’
Or would you throw my heart in the gutter?
Marina, you’ve gone back to Portland
But it’s not important
My attention span’s short
And soon I will be courtin’ some other
With a less heady mother
And singing her this chorus
I like you as much as I can in the time that I’ve known you….
And I could do more than just bone you
And slink out your door in the morning
