There's a world container with your name on it
And a billion ways to go berserk
When the country quits on you
It must be dinner
And the handler on this one
Is there's no dessert
He's the one who couldn't imagine
All the people living life in peace.
Good news, you get to vanish.
Go to Cleveland, be an indie smash.
The good news is now you're smaller.
The bad news is you can be smaller than that
Go sex and souls, be a reader, get used
Laugh at a funeral or two
Laugh and laugh till all the chameleons turn black
Laugh and laugh till you're told please don't come back
Then fake incredulous say, I just can't believe.
How'd it get this late so early?
Say, ain't life a grand and I'm an all y'all.
Then drop into your haunted bunk.
Hey Mike and my fellow FOTMs, it's Becky.
This is my third jam and I was going to try and record it outside to capture some bird song
to give it the backyard studio feel, but I don't trust my recording capabilities that much.
This is one of my absolute favorite songs by the Tragically Hip. It's World Container.
And I listened to this album non-stop while traveling in Europe.
I thought it was fitting since Gord was singing
There's a World Container with your name on it.
There are so many great lyrics in this song.
And my absolute favorite is
How'd it get This Late So Early.
And I think it perfectly captures the best nights that I've had in my life where time seems to fly by and the night goes by in an instant.
And I think it also makes me think about Gord's passing
since it got late much too early for him.
So, enjoy. Enjoy. in progress we're all songs of one song and that song is
don't forget
we're all
songs of one
song and
that song is
don't forget
we're all
songs of one
song and
that song is
don't forget We're all songs of one song and that song is done for, yeah.
