SONG: Vancouver Divorce BAND: Gordon Downie ALBUM: Coke Machine Glow (2001) TABBED BY: Ross Guertin (ross_guertin@yahoo.ca) TUNING: EADGBe
DWhat the hell is Gthis' You said, "It's art, just fucDking mirror it." Where did we go Gwrong' If not here, where Ado we belong' In a shot of sun off an airplane far aGbove her' In the glint of a foot-burnished manhole Acover' In a light, a sign of one kind or aGnother' In the gleaming eye of a fighter or a Dlover' Sitting here at the GHortons, so you know this is AimporDtant. If not here, then Gwhere' If not now, then Awhen' When a feather's an immovable Gforce' When the stampede's an obstacle Acourse' When Ancient Train has hit Ol' Transient GHorse' When we're a Vancouver diDvorce'
Now that we've hammered the last spike and we've punched the railroad through, thought there'd be more to say, thought there'd be more to do. I love your paintings -- don't take your colours away. I've grown more fearful of them every day. Swimming up their dark rivers to discover your source, a source of strange and unrequited remorse. And I found the end of the world, of course, but it's not the end of the world, of course. It's just a Vancouver divorce. It's just a Vancouver divorce.
