The Kids Don't Get It - Lyrics

Pin It Now!

Last played: 2013/02/12 Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Debut: 2006/10/17 Toronto, ON
Album: World Container (2006)

Notes: TKDGI made its debut like many of the 'World Container' songs at the Horseshoe Tavern on Queen St. West in Toronto right before the big 2007 'World Container Tour' where it received extensive play. It only made 2 appearances between then and 2011. Once in 2008 and it was a 'one-timer' on the 2009 'WATS Tour'. Kids came back in a big way on the festival circuit in the summer of 2011 and was featured steadily throughout the 'Now For Plan A Tour'. If you fall into the category of one who gets a little bothered by ' Screaming Gord' , this one is not for you....

You said, ‘If I ask you a question,
are you gonna lie to me?’
I said, ‘honey, is that your question?
cuz honey, that one’s easy’
cuz half the truth is, just how much there is
The kids don’t get it
No. The kids don’t get it

I’m gonna be an expert stranger,
better than the giant squid
I’m gonna leave the stranger experts
scratching their heads, saying, ‘how’d he do it?!’
When half the truth is, just how hard it is
But the kids don’t get it
No. The kids won’t get it

I’ll be the antlers and I’ll be the elk
I’ll be the right whale and I’ll be parallel
The kids don’t get it
That’s right, kids don’t get it

I’ll feel more than human when the work’s hitting home
I’ll be aped by my ancestors. I’ll state the plan as my own
I’ll be gripping the city, I’ll be hitting the town
You’ll say. ‘I’d be hurt if you didn’t, when I come around’
That’s right, kids don’t get it

I’ll be as careless as you are certain.
I’ll get outta my own way
I’ll stop to cry into the curtains
and like the greats, before me, go on stage
And if half-true its, good enough for this
cuz the kids don’t get it
No. The kids don’t get it
If I ask you a question,
ya gonna lie to me?
Ah honey is that your question?
cuz that one’s easy

Kids don’t get it
Just how hard it is
Kids don’t get it
Just how much there is

The Tragically Hip Announce Cold Lake, AB Date

Pin It Now!

Canada's favourite band may now have scheduled Montreal, but they did schedule Cold Lake, AB!!!

I kid. I kid.

This is a huge event for this area of the country. Cold Lake is a bit north of Edmonton, AB and straddles the border of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Be aware that if you are going these far away lands that don't usually get this type of event can get a little rowdy if you know what I mean.... I think fights broke out in the stands at the Dawson Creek show a couple of years ago. I imagine many in the crowd will celebrate this event by pounding booze early and often... Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you gotta have a little self respect. Maybe employ a "Wake & Bake" strategy if you're planning on doing the all day debaucle thing, eh?

This show also puts the kibosh on any hopes of additional European tour dates being announced... at least at the back end with the London, ENG show coming just 3 days before this one. I wonder if they will be flying direct from England to Cold Lake?

OK. Tickets go on sale March 15, 2013

Luv (sic) - Lyrics

Pin It Now!

Last played: 2007/10/19 Dallas, TX
Debut: 2006/10/17 Toronto, ON
Album: World Container (2006)
Notes: Another of Gord Downie's wonderful plays on words... Luv (sic) only saw live action for the period amid the 'World Container Tour'. 34 times in total.


There are words I carry in my heart
Words I carry in my heart
Clung to
Glad of
Uncommonly held
Peculiarly interlaced
Remembered and felt
Am I lovesick?
It’s as if love’s the only virtue there is
Am I lovesick?

The plot thins, emotions get frayed
Attractions move through the shade
Done for
Delight in
And forever held
Influence
Given life
Remembered and felt
Am I lovesick?
It’s not as if love’s the only virtue there is
Am I lovesick?

It’s nothing to hate
Who can’t hate can
Got nothing ‘gainst hate
It’s all the planning
It gets hard to remember
We’re best when we’re tender

There are words I carry in my heart
Words I carry in my heart
Words I carry in my heart
Clung to
Glad of
Uncommonly held
Peculiarly interlaced
Remembered and felt
Am I lovesick?
Maybe love is the only virtue there is
Am I lovesick?
Lovesick, lovesick
‘Love is the only virtue there is’ (Northrop Frye)
Am I lovesick?

Fly - Lyrics

Pin It Now!

Last played: 2007/10/24 Philadelphia, PA
Debut: 2006/05/26 Vancouver, BC
Album: World Container (2006)
Notes: Seemed to get more action before the 'World Container Tour' than on it. Hasn't been played since which is too bad. Pretty solid Hip tune in my opinion.


Seventy days to cross the ocean
Seventy nights where no one's gonna hear me fall
Freddie Mercury, "I've sometimes wished
I'd never been born at all'

I remain unphotographed yea
I don't exaggerate my intelligence
I might turn a broom into a tree
But I'll never be one of them

I fly, cause there's no why in getting beaten up by
a guy who cries before he fights

I don't want em to see me like this
The way they like to kick people when their down
You said, ‘please stop worrying bout this
They stop kicking once you're down'

There's Mistaken Point, Newfoundland
There's Moonbeam, Ontari-ari-o
There are places I've never been
and always wanted to go

I fly, cause woe betide a guy who just lives to fight
Fly, love is to try and die trying

Fly, yea, that's right
Fly, yea, that's right
Try, love is to try and die trying

Coastline rising out of the ocean
Coastline rises like a pair of glowing thighs
Theres something down deep inside me says,
‘Where ya been all my life.'

Fly, turn your back, get your face in the sky
Fly, love is to try and die trying
Try, left and right, across your mind
Try, love is to try and die trying

In View - Lyrics

Pin It Now!

Last played: 2013/02/14 Toronto, ON
Debut: 2006/09/09 Stratford, ON
Album: World Container (2006)

Notes: Since its debut, it's rare that it is not played at any given show. In View is the least favorite song of mine in The Hip's cannon and I usually pull for a mid-set placement so I can perform some bladder management at the shows.

I love you. You know I do
Yea, it's perfect...well, it isn't and it is

And I've been meaning to call you
I've been meaning to call you
Then I do
I've been meaning to call you
I've been meaning to call you
Then I do

Phone rings once
Phone rings twice
Phone rings three times

I am of you
You are in everything I do
I do

I trust you, that makes you true
I don't care if it isn't the way it is

I've been meaning to call you
I've been meaning to call you
Then I do

Phone rings once
Phone rings twice
Phone rings three times

I am of you
You are always in view
Yea, I am my will
But you are in everything I do
I do. I do. I do

In the Day Eraser's dark of night
In the Excited States, gone in plain sight
Under the wave or by cavelight
I lose, things change, but never in your eyes

I am of you
You are always in view
I am my will
You are in everything I do


Next song: Fly
Previous song: The Lonely End Of The Rink
