SONG: Vancouver Divorce BAND: Gordon Downie ALBUM: Coke Machine Glow (2001) TABBED BY: Ross Guertin (ross_guertin@yahoo.ca) TUNING: EADGBe
CWhat the hell is Fthis? You said, "It's art, just fucCking mirror it." Where did we go Fwrong? If not here, where Gdo we belong? In a shot of sun off an airplane far aFbove her? In the glint of a foot-burnished manhole Gcover? In a light, a sign of one kind or aFnother? In the gleaming eye of a fighter or a Clover? Sitting here at the FHortons, so you know this is GimporCtant. If not here, then Fwhere? If not now, then Gwhen? When a feather's an immovable Fforce? When the stampede's an obstacle Gcourse? When Ancient Train has hit Ol' Transient FHorse? When we're a Vancouver diCvorce?
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.
