The Trio Takes Off: A collection of Canadian rock welcoming The Trio to the Great White North
1.
Warren: Absolutely ~ The Headstones
Could be it's coming apart/
So close they cannot miss/
I rise above the silence/
To a sea of belligerence
I hear it come to this/
Choke on that dialogue/
Just how could I predict/
When we'd get here man/
we wouldn't get along
2.
Andrew: I Am the Man ~ The Philosopher Kings
I am the man, that's what I am/
I'm a straight shooter, with a master plan/
I am the man, that's why I'm here/
I am the man, I am the man
3.
All: Blow At High Dough ~ The Tragically Hip
Sometimes the faster it gets/
The less you need to know/
But you gotta remember, /
The harder it gets/
The further it's gonna go/
When you blow at high dough
4.
Warren: Load Me Up ~ Matthew Good Band
I'm frantic/
so load me up/
it seems so practiced/
me fucking this up
5.
Andrew: Better Get Used To It ~ Big Sugar
Once I was a villain/
I behaved just like a cat/
But like a shot of penicillin/
She cured me of all that
She's a healthy dose of heaven/
For a man that's hooked on sin/
Let the joy begin
6.
All: Apocalyptic Modified Blues ~ Corb Lund
Gather round me all you sinners, all you gamblers and card sharps/
You drinkers and abusers, all you fighters at your hearts/
You might pay heed.../
Cuz ain't nothin' ever walked the earth like this before/
Beast of field will be upon you, bird of air pluck out your eye/
The mercy of the nations will be deaf unto your cry
7.
Jonathan: Walking Wounded ~ The Tea Party
Is it safe to look within/
And erase all that's been/
And all that's been between/
Is it gone tell me what went wrong/
'cause baby I’m not that strong/
And I’m walking wounded/
All alone, all alone
8.
Andrew: Abused ~ J. Englishman
Call me just another pretty face/
Who's been a bad, bad boy/
So put me in my place/
Coz I just wanna be/
I just wanna be abused
9.
All: Someone Who’s Cool ~ Odds
close but kind of meatless/
like actors who play Jesus/
in movies of the week
10.
Jonathan: For Everything You’ve Done Wrong Lately ~ Sloan
Do your time, to pay the price/
For every thing you've done wrong, baby/
In your life, you get so high/
There's nowhere left to go but down
Don't believe that no one cares /
'Cause we're here waiting for you, baby/
Do your time/ and then come home for good
11.
Warren: Shattered ~ Barney Bentall
I need a sip/
I need a drink/
I need confusion so that I can think/
I need a cigarette/ I need something to believe/
send me an angel, I pray my soul to keep/
but you, with that Mona Lisa smile/
it’s true I won’t forget you for a while/
I’m shattered
12.
All: The Future ~ Leonard Cohen
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions/
Won't be nothing, nothing you can measure anymore/
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world/
has crossed the threshold/
and it has overturned/
the order of the soul
13.
Jonathan: Still Water ~ Daniel Lanois
Wild eyes in the wilderness/
Where're you going with the devil in hand?
