paisley Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Frontier - Fat CatsSudbury Saturday Night - Stompin TomBlame CanadaTimes have changed, Our kids are getting worse They won't obey their parents, They just want to fart and curse. Should we blame the government, or blame society, or should we blame the images on tv No! Blame Canada! Blame Canada With all their beady little eyes, their flapping heads so full of lies Blame Canada! Blame Canada! We need to form a full assault, it's Canada's fault! Don't blame me, for my son Stan, He saw the darn cartoon, and now he's off to join the klan!> And my boy eric once, had my picture on his shelf, but now when I see him, he tells me to fu©k myself> Well, Blame Canada! It seems that everything's gone wrong since Canada came along Blame Canada! Blame Canada! They're not even a real country anyway. My son could of been a doctor or a lawer, it's a true, Instead he burned up like a piggie on a barbecue> Should we blame the matches? Should we blame the fire, or the doctor who allowed him to expire. Heck no! Blame Canada! Blame Canada! With all their hockey hubaloo and that bitch Anne Murray too. Blame Canada! Shame on Canada! The smut we must stop The trash we must smash Laughter and fun must all be undone We must blame them and cause a fuss Before someone thinks of blaming us!

TimmyB Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 "Acadian Driftwood" by The Band "Ambulance Blues" by Neil Young "A Case Of You" by Joni Mitchell "The Trees" by Rush and Northern Wish I think the song you meant to say was "Prairie Town" by Randy Bachman The lyrics for "Prairie Town" go Born and raised in a prairie town Just a kid full of dreams We didn't have much but an old radio Music came from places we'd never been Growing up in a prairie town Learning to drive in the snow Not much to do so you start a band And soon you've gone as far as you can go Winter nights are long Summer days are gone Portage and Main 50 below Springtime melts the snow Rivers overflow Portage and Main 50 below Portage and Main 50 below All the bands in a prairie town Try to out-do the next in line Learning records out of Liverpool Dreams of England on their minds On the other side of Winnipeg Neil and the Squires played the Zone But then he went to play For a while in Thunder Bay He never looked back and He's never coming home Just a band from a prairie town Sometimes we'd drive from coast to coast One call from L.A. and we'd pack and fly away But in our hearts we're always pairie folks Looking back at a prairie town People ask me whay I went away To fly with the best sometimes you have to leave the nest But the prairies made me what I am today Randy Bachman and Neil Young were friends back in the early sixties growing up in Winnipeg. After Randy wrote this song for his debut solo album released in 1992 titled "Any Road" (Koch). Bachman sent the lyrics to Neil in his California home to see what he though of it. Neil loved it so much that he invited a very surprised Bachman and his band to record it with him at his Broken Arrow Ranch in Redwood City, California. They also recorded videos of both the electric and acoustic versions of the song at Neil's ranch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phred Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Canada's Really Big - Arrogant Worms When I look around me, I can’t believe what I see It seems as if this country Has lost it’s will to live The economy is lousy, We barely have an army But we can still stand proudly ’cause canada’s really big We’re the second largest country On this planet earth And if russia Keeps on shrinking Then soon we’ll be first (as long as we keep quebec) The usa has tanks And switzerland has banks They can keep them, thanks They just don’t amount ’cause when you get down to it You find out what the truth is It isn’t what you do with it It’s the size that counts! Most people Will tell you That france is pretty large But you can put Fourteen frances Into this land of ours (it’d take a lotta work, it’s take a whole lotta work) We’re larger than malaysia Almost as big as asia We’re bigger than australia And it’s a continent So big we seldom bother To go see one another But we often go to other Countries for vacation Our mountains Are very pointy Our prairies are not The rest is Kinda bumpy But, man, do we have a lot (we gotta lot of land, we gotta whole lot of land) So stand up and be pound And sing out very loud We stand out from the crowd ’cause Canada’s really big!
