destined to drift
01:52

so this is just one of those riffs that every now and again is
destined to drift
but in a couple of years when i am down and out I'll
search for this gear
in the heart of the matter, what matters today
in the crux of the latter i can not abstain
from this beating that's driving that's pumping my veins
and you know it'll never be the same, the same way
so this is just one of those riffs
that every now an again reminds me of the tragically hip
ain't nothing every felt so right, so right
than staying up all night and tripping with eric

pick one word
04:38

put two words together
pick three words, make 'em something really good
put four words together
pick five words and make 'em something intelligent
put six words together
pick seven words and make 'em something I won't forget
pick one word
tell it to me when there's no chance of me hearing you
whisper it into my ear while i'm asleep
when you're running a bath, when you're brushing your teeth
while you're waving good bye and i'm across the street
pick one word

while they were watching
05:30
|
|

in time we tap our toes
we smile and no body knows
our song is not yet born
it's a two step, two step towards
the keys, the drums
our hearts beat as one
play it again pretty please
this love is all we need
while they were watching, they were watching the price of gold
we were making, we were making rock n roll
they can show us their new house
and all the nice things they bought
but to tell you the truth oh baby
you know, you know i don't really care

I love these three chords
they're simple and pure
they can't bring me down
they will not obscure
all that is real and all that is good
they bring me joy like nothing could
they've been going out of their way to be in the yesterday
bringing down novel sound from all around the place
they bring me time
they bring me space

our favourite song
04:42
|
|
||
|
our favourite song doesn't have, have a chorus
and that's alright just as long as we still know it
and in the end it'll drift, drift between us
and that's alright just as long as we still feel it
every time i think what i wanna think
i'm not sure that i really thunk it
it's not like, it's just kinda like
i know you thought it before
it's not like i've been through any souls but my own

flowers in your name
04:35
|
|

i picked petals in your name
one by one they drifted away
into the sun light of yesterday
i picked petals in your name
and i put pebbles around the flame
one by one they melted away
into dust and washed away by rain
i put pebbles around the flame
did you love me, did you not
looks like these petals are all that we got
did you love me, did you not
one day these pebbles will roll in to rocks
they will fight your flame, they will fight your flame
are you the flower or the vase
are you a thorn behind that pretty face
one on one we're still the same
and you know i haven't changed
so i pick flowers in your name
one by one they'll take your breathe away
i don't pick petals, i make bouquets
i pick flowers in your name
did you love me, did you not
looks like these petals are all that we got
did you love me, did you not
one day these pebbles will roll in to rocks
they will write your name, they will write your name

silent stranger
03:06
|
|

there is a silent stranger deep inside my head
he'll play these four chords till the day after my death
then we'll be partners in the afterlife
we'll sing in harmony till we are both alive
and so you turn to music once again
you try to change your tune but i know you pretend to be
the silent stranger that is deep inside my head
you'll play these four chords till my finger nails turn red
but you'd be nothing without a voice
what are your four chords without a little noise
and so you turn to music once again
you try to change your tune but i love you to the very end
and so you turn to music once again

everything around me
03:54
|
|
||
|
when i'm all alone i whistle out this number
then i start to feel real good
everything around me starts to turn to music
then my whole body moves
everything around me, start to feel, whole body
take this little ear worm and put it in your pocket
save it for a rainy day
like aretha franklin, you gonna sock it
come on let that music play
everything around me, start to feel, whole body
just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit, give it to me one time
just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit, give it to me two time
when i'm all alone i whistle out this number
then i start to feel real good
everything around me starts to turn to music
then my whole body moves
everything around me, start to feel, whole body
i don't want to give you everything i worked for
i don't want to lose control
i don't want to do this only for the money
i just want to rock n roll, i want the world to know
everything around me, start to feel, whole body
everything around me, start to feel, whole body
just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit, give it to me one time
just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit, give it to me two time

one last time
04:50
|
|
||
|
this sounds like a song that was written by a younger band
who tried to bring back a sound that fashion seemed to forget about
they don't give a shit they just wanna party
they don't give a shit they just wanna party
they're one of ten and they know how to rock it out
they all look good except for the drummer
they're all in their roaring twenties
they're all in their roaring twenties
so i went to the show and the mosh pit was epic
i didn't even know the songs they were playing
never mind they sound like the pixies
never mind they sound like the pixies
one last time before my music dies
