Gord Sinclair's playing bass. I'd like you to say hello to a close friend of mine. And then to my booth. I've shown this off the last couple of weeks, last couple of gigs, because I intend to light them on fire this evening. Yes, yes I do. They've served me very well, so it's only fitting that they have a foregone epitaph Well, I think that there's a problem here My voice just don't sound right Probably left myself on an answering machine Sit back and talk, no

I feel I've stepped out of the wilderness I'm squinting and confused But even babies raised by the water know Exactly when they're being used See when it starts to fall apart And I really hope To fall in love and really fall in love Like a brutal heart of a weapon they start They really fall in love

Fingers getting toes, fingers getting toes Forty things you said Forty-one, if you knew The fact that we don't care to share We're fighting for every year in the field The fact that we don't care Now you block up the most of man's trade We're fighting our faith

today While everyone in town now they all agree The man in the bed is a man See, when it starts to bop, bop, bop I'm lying in the bed of a man See, women start to fall for men Really fall for men

Like boots and hearts A woman starts They really fall for men Well, what a fine time Mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud wrthym, mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud wrthym. I won't even let me talk to you We've got some air clear Probably won't agree on one thing anyway That's what the hell is happening here Penis in droves, penis in toes

40 things we share 40 more than ever knew The fact that we don't share See, the minute starts to fall But never really fall apart And in the boots of hearts Of the witness star Never really fall apart

Well, fall apart tonight Wow! Here's a song about a town A trois pistoles This song is called Three Pistoles It's for Mr. Tom Thompson My close personal buddy. He just spoke so softly and all his people broke another deal He said I'm bringing my friend in red and stars Cause I think I'm ready When I'm shaking, no, not at all

My hands are steady You think this just can't stop And to stay here We're flicking the stairs Flicking away Flicking the stairs Flicking the stairs We're bound as land of a lovely love It's brighter than all the words She took me to the old house

And I just said she would And then a sign of love on the balcony Shakes me a spirit to touch She never had any time for me Cause I didn't protest to no one Think Mr. Strong Think Mr. Strong Think Mr. Strong

Think Mr. Strong Thinkin' so strong, thinkin' this past now gone Alright, alright, alright, I give up, I give up Little girls come on a man's day Placing hours on his grave Why in the shadows to love the doctor's talk? Take them all away She said, bring on a brand new renaissance Cause they think I'm ready Love is shaking all night long When my hands are steady I'm ready I'm shaking No, not at all When my hands are steady Think this does cancer

Baby, the way it all never ends Think this is strong Baby, this does not matter Think this does cancer Free me this bad, no, no Free me this bad, no, no Free me away and I'll get away Free me this bad, no, no Free me this bad, no, no My heart is burning all night Oh, yeah My heart is burning all night
