Let's kick this off right.

I <333333 THE RHEOSTATICS

"Chanson Les Ruelles"

J'ai decide d'ecrire
En francais pour cette chanson
Ce n'est pas les mots, c'est la melodie
Qui parle avec clarite

Dans le pays ou il y a deux langues
Il y a beaucoup de gens avec des guitars
Dans les sous-sols d'eglises et les arriere-cours
Sur la radio et aussi dans les bars

Peut-etre nos vents souffrir aux Etats-Unis
Nous chantons pour nous-memes, de tout facon

Laisser les jeunes etoiles du rock s'en aller sud
Ils oublieront et nous aussi
Ce n'est pas son faut; c'est un fait de le monde
J'espere que la frontiere ne disparait pas...

-------------------------------------------------------

I decided to write
In French for this song
It’s not the words, it’s the melody
That speaks clearly

In the country with two languages
There are many people with guitars
In the basements of churches and backyards
On the radio and in the bars

Maybe our sales will suffer to the United States
We sing for ourselves, anyway

Let the young stars of rock head on south
They’ll forget us too
It’s not their fault, it’s a fact of the world
I just hope the frontier doesn’t disappear…
awkward is the new cool

...I think you need to kick it some more.
Just because I am sexy, naked, a bassist, and sporting a top hat doesn't make me Duncan Coutts!

So... um, I guess this is a thread in which we post good Canadian songs? Or something...?


The CM may be fun, but we tend to be a little slow, eh?

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

rob,

i am glad you asked. when you read the lyrics to the song you will not be able to stop laughing. it's r.kelly - you saved me.

lyircs:

I was riding in my car one day (oh)
In the express lane rolling down the freeway
And suddenly the phone rings
Then I reached down beside me
Then I looked on the floor felt on the back seat
See I was drinking while I was driving
Never thinking bout what I was doing
I turned around and before I knew it
Here comes this truck now
The doctor said I don't think he's gonna make it
Family said make the funeral arrangements
Unplug the machine he's gone now
then told my wife to be strong now
then a small voice said on to me
if you promise to stop drinking
I surrendered on that day
And for 10 years I've been straight

it's fun when you try to rap along to these lyrics too. also, there are lots of rhyming.oh. there are a lot more horrible lyrics in this song though. but i shouldn't torture any further.

sorry you had to read this,
Melissa

p.s. if anyone actuallly likes this song, i apologize but it is REALLY bad!

surely that's not a real song.

it's an anti drink driving that a 10 year old had to write for school. it must be. cos no-one else could write such poor lyrics.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.
