When Winter Comes
From the Album: Melville
Transcribed by Sandra Wynia
with help from Martin Lomas
I Gread about your band in thEme entertainment news
Dstruck me how you sounded so CcynicalG
foGr every Ocean Ranger and Empenny-poor reserve
you're waDsted in a tavern with other Cwasted birdGs
but Gwhat about The Band? What Emabout the Guess Who?
the daDy they made the charts in Billboard Cmagazine..G.
BmAll the Irish armies couldn'tG teach you
Of Bmindependence, peace and Dbrotherhood
(same as above)
I hope I'm never bitter and I hope I never change
I hope I have a reason to be concerned
for all the wounded divers and all the sunken crews
who wouldn't know the secrets of the deep had they waited on board
for someone wants a contract and someone wants a crumb
and some will dress in greasepaint on Video Hits (VH1)
all the Irish armies couldn't keep you
from standing there and speaking sabre-toothed
Do you get the Curge when winter Gcomes?
(same as above)
All the laughing scarecrows and all the cocaine dogs
couldn't bark me down my fence into the middle of your yard
someone wants a contract and someone wants a crumb
and some will dress in greasepaint and suck a lotta cock
all the Irish armies couldn't keep you
from hiking like an injured, aimless mule
do you get the urge when winter comes?
cut.
in theG blue Canadian winter i'll Cfollow your Gtrail
'til your Glove becomes a snowbank Dhardened by gael
when Gice appears on matchsticks and the Csalt trucks Gfail
and cGoalmen hibernate through Dtheir aGlarms
(same as above)
in the blue Canadian winter an iceman roams
building railroads made of iron sweat and skin
when you become thawed out
your love will swamp the tracks
and my heart will be restored with virgin blood
Fwarm, your warm
GVictoria
