We Are the Same

The Tragically Hip We Are the Same Lyrics
1.Morning Moon

The reactor's down
I guess for Labor Day, today
It's the first day I ain't seen
A great plume of steam from across the lake
From across the lake
Hey, that's a morning moon, yeah.

I'm not making strain
Said, 'Someone's paying
When something's too cheap
Somebody's paying something'
You said, 'Some one's paying something.'
Under a morning moon, yeah
Say those little things that don't make anyone feel better, yeah

It didn't take too much to upset her
Nothing that could clear the room
To say one little thing that could make me feel better
Under this morning moon, yeah

The sun's a light bulb and the moon is a mirror
There are times when you can see both the bulb and the mirror
See the bulb and the mirror
And that's the morning moon, yeah
Say those little things that don't make anyone feel better yeah

It doesn't take too much to upset her
Nothing that could clear the room
Just saying one little thing trying to make you feel better
Under this morning moon, yeah
Under this morning moon, yeah

Morning moon, yeah
Trying to make you feel better yeah
Nothing too far from the truth yeah
Trying to make you feel better
Nothing too far from the truth
Trying to make you feel better
Nothing too far from the truth


2.Honey. Please

I don't wanna look for words
I don't wanna work that hard
I want your song in my head
The way you sing it from the heart yeah

Whenever I get lost
Whenever I feel weak
Whenever or just because
You whisper it to me

Honey, maybe everything you need
Is on the other side of this feeling
Honey, please

But when I 'look for words'
For more going concerns
For the 'adventure of ideas'
'Adventure never returns' yeah

Whenever I get stuck
Whenever I can't speak
Whenever just because
You do it in your sleep

Honey, maybe everything you need
Is on the other side of this feeling
Honey, please

When all 'the poetry of the earth'
Might be all there is
It might still have some worth
Yeah, but I can't dance to it

Honey everything we need
Is on the other side of this feeling
This feeling

Honey, right here underneath our feet
Under all the stars of the County
Everything we need
Honey, please

Under all the stars of the County with you tonight
Under all the stars of the County with you by my side
Under all the stars of the County shining bright
Under all the stars of the County with you tonight


3.The Last Recluse

We rode hard,
for the boat, as we could,
tears you said, understood, understood,
I said alright.
A crowd will be born ,
only born,I,
I want to watch for a sign,
in the night,
I watch a bomb go off in a young girls life.

Who were you..
The last recluse..
Who were you..
The last Canada girl..

Who were you?
what is it with you?
who were you?
Who were you?

When the wind comes up,
Surfers up,
What a scuzz
nothing up, with surprise
just ride you said,
ride and shut up.

I jump on broad,turned around
To wave goodbye,
You were only on your bike,
riding with my bike by your side

Who were you?
The black canoe.
Who were you?
The last of the
Who were you?
You rode a lot
As far as I know, it was you.

You broke my heart, from the start
made me work, work so hard.
To where I am,
To where I'd let you do it all again.

Who were you?
Who were you?
What do I do,
Without you?

Who were you?
The last recluse.
Who were you?
The last of the

The last color..
The last Canada girls..
Who were you?
Who were you?
Who were you?
Who were you?


4.Coffee Girl

It's hard to leave your bed
The cool and hard summer sheets
Hangover hanging on by the fangs
Walk to work on wild feet
Get to the back door
Look around then turn the key
Turn all the lights
Take down the chairs and make things neat

Hey there Coffee Girl
beautiful and disaffected
It was all perfect till
he came along and wrecked it

Your favourite mixed tape
You popped it into the deck
don't care if it's out of date
Oh cat power and classic Beck
beware purveyors of cool
with their compacts of one
Taking cannons to fool
when all you need's a BB gun

Hey there Coffee Girl
beautiful and disaffected
It was all perfect till
he came along and wrecked it

one night he'll make you choose
I'm sorry but he will
The hardscape or your shoes
when the moon's behind the hill

Hey there Coffee Girl
beautiful and disaffected
It was all perfect till
he came along and wrecked it
Hey there Coffee Girl
Hey Coffee Girl
Hey there Coffee Girl
Hey there Coffee Girl
Hey there Coffee Girl
Hey there Coffee Girl
Hey there Coffee Girl


5.Now The Struggle Has A Name

Now, the apology done
Applause can begin
Now, the apologies done
Applause begins

If it bleeds it leads
If it cries it flies
If it feeds a need
If it dies, it dies

Now the struggle has a name
It doesn't fade, it hasn't changed
I still feel the same
Now the struggle has a name

And Honey Watson
I struggle on

Oh, Honey Watson
We were born with sin
Some truth, some reconciliation
And gone with the wind

If it feeds the need
If it dies, it dies

Now the struggle has a name
We are the same, it hasn't changed
I still feel the same
Now the struggle has a name

Honey Watson
I struggle on

Gone, like an attraction
Like the sun in a mirror
Gone, like it was destined
To simply disappear

Gone, like Honey Watson
Applause can begin
The song is almost done
Applause begins

Now the struggle has a name
It doesn't fade, it hasn't changed
I still feel the same
Now the struggle has a name

Now the struggle has a name
We are the same, it hasn't changed
I still feel the same
Now the struggle has a name

And Honey Watson
I struggle on


6.The Depression Suite

Under the pillow
I bury my head and try to shut Chicago out
As it turns out there's a whole other world of sounds
of perfect fifths low skids and Arctic howls

all saying are you going through something?
are you going through something?

Under the pillow a little room to breathe
the early morning light's a pale cranberry
I hear the Aaa-aah-aah not-wow-wow
of a siren faraway and closing steadily

saying Are you going through something?
Are you going through something?
cuz I-I-I-I I am too

Under the pillow
I can hear you whisperin' are you going through something?

well honey are you going through something?
Are you going through something?
Then I-I-I-I I am too
Then I-I-I-I I am too

Then I-I-I-I I am too

Gimme gimme gimme gimme-gimme
Gimme an opportunity gimme-gimme
Put me put me put me put me-put me
In the saddle I'll ride you'll see

There's new work in the Day Room
I can't lounge on-line
Don't you laugh
I'd sell a giraffe and I'd give you half
Just to occupy my mind

I'll be driven my eyes always moving
I'll be riveted to the task yea
No smiling! That's important
I will make my face a mask

And I'm thinking just in passing
What if this song does nothing?
What if this song does nothing

Working in the new NewOrleansWorld
I'm emptying slots working like a ghost
I move through huge rooms with no windows
And no Gulf of Mexico

Gimmegimmegimme gimme-gimme
Gimme an opportunity gimme-gimme
Put me put me put me put me-put me
In the saddle please

I'll be driven my eyes always moving
I'll be riveted to the task yea
No smiling! That's so important
I will make my face a mask

And I'm thinking just in passing
What if this song does nothing?
What if this song does nothing?
What if this song does nothing
What if this song does nothing

Bring on the requisite strangeness
It always has to get a little weird a little weird
Yea you just bring on the requisite strangeness
Bring it on then disappear disappear
Go to be a man of the boom
To Florida without the ocean
But
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
When the door is just starting to open?
When Athabasca depends?
Don't you wanna see how it ends

I can hear you
But I can't stay here
You left me lost in the Barrens
You left me born on the stairs
It's minus 11
Inside my kettle
I didn't come to get lost in the Barrens
I didn't come to settle
To be a man on the moon
To get my little slice of heaven
Yeah
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
When the door is just starting to open?
And Athabasca depends
Doncha wanna see how it ends

Don't you wanna see how it ends?
The door is just starting to open.
Athabasca depends.
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
Yeah
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
I'm holding the door to the Barrens
And Athabasca depends
Doncha wanna see how it ends?


7.The Exact Feeling


8.Queen of the Furrows

Win Toronto
yelled the Queen of the Furrows
This is how we farm
hens cluck and roosters crow

You are my heart
staring down from the pillar
To be apart
is that why you have to go

To conversations city
everybody's talking
You must have something to say
To conversations sitting
everybody's talking
Working at it night and day
Watch your self

I say to my toasted west
This is how I feel
And it is when I learn the most
you are my heart
You are my Queen of the Furrows
this is how i feel
hens cluck and roosters crow

In the night feels
everything's dark yellow
I make my way by feel
by my neighbors glow

You are my heart
oh my Queen of the Furrows
This is how i farm
eyes up and ears down low
You are my heart
You're my Queen of the Furrows
this how i feel
Hens cluck and roosters crow

But in conversation city
Everybody's talking
you must have something to say
Conversation city
making conversation
Working at it night and day

You are my heart
oh my Queen of the Furrows
This is how i farm
eyes up and ears down low
You are my heart
You're my Queen of the Furrows
this how i feel
Hens cluck and roosters crow

You are my heart
this is how i feel

10.Frozen In My Tracks

Sometimes when I'm walking
I dream I'm being taken for granted
It's then that I clearly imagine
The Day That You Take Me For Granted

You said, one day you're gonna realize
You really have no sense of yourself
And with no way to take it back
You'll get frozen in your tracks
Frozen in your tracks

Sometimes when we're talking
I feel like you're not even listening
It's then that I clearly remember
Rarely ever seeing you listening

You said, when you gonna realize
You really have no sense of yourself
There's no way to take it back
You've been frozen in your tracks

Simpler than the rest, you don't do stupid games
You're not more complex, you don't lay 'violent blame'

Tonight I was walking (tonight I was walking)
Feeling alone on this planet (feeling alone on this planet)
When all at once something stopped me (when all at once
something stopped me)
(I realized I'd taken you for granted) I realized I'd taken you
for granted

And tonight I realized
I really have no sense of myself
No way to take it back
I am frozen in my tracks
I'm frozen in my tracks
Frozen in my tracks


11.Love Is A First

I've been interpreted and shrunk
I've been as touchless as a drunk
This is as bad as or worse
As bad as or worse
This is as bad as or worse
As bad as or worse

Love is a curse
Be her world, all it deserves
Love is a curse
Get what you can't not desert

I know, I know it's all just first blurts
That he who would try to own deserves it
And I know it's got nothing to do with deserves it
Just that you don't just blurt 'love is a curse'
love is a curse
Love is a curse
You don't just blurt,
Love is a curse

Though I've been too weak to escape
And I don't have the strength to pluck a grape
Though it's as bad as or worse
As bad as or worse
Though it's as bad as or worse
As bad as or worse

Love is a first
Felt the dull fangs of the truth
Love is a first
Their music they torture to
Love is a first
A song would power it first
Love is a first
Let's walk down the darknesses horse

We were frozen until he saw us
and smoke and murder fell on the floor
and watch the own death of your TV
and dreams are stuck in urgent tweads
Drain the ocean of words
like God's representatives on earth
Learn to hurt and how not to hurt
and the thing you taught me and what I learned love is a first
And it's as bad as or worse
As bad as or worse
As bad as or worse
As bad as or worse

Love is a curse
Be her world, all it deserves
Love is a first
Go where the curtain occurs
Love is a curse
Get what you can't not desert
Love is a first
It just occurs and a occurs

We were frozen until he saw us
and smoke and murder fell on the floor
and watch the own death of your TV
and dreams are stuck in urgent tweads
Drain the ocean of words
like God's representatives on earth
Learn to hurt and how not to hurt
and the thing you taught me and what I learned love is a first


12.Country Day

Country day
a day in the unknown
a gentle breeze gently blowin'
country day
Country day
a day in the unknown
a gentle breeze gently blowin'
country day

we're Mr and Mrs Smoke and thing are finally clickin'
Still having trouble with the things that aren't meaningful
but ya really clickin'
our dreams are where we at
what we can see and touch
with work we understand
we don't want for much

Country day
a day in the unknown
a gentle breeze gently blowin
country day
Country day
another day in the unknown
I can feel it in my bones
country day

You infiltrate my life
you resonate with meaning
I wrote I love you on a rock one night
and threw it never dreaming
now our dreams are where we're at
what we can feel and touch
its work we understand
we don't want for much

Country day
a day in the unknown
a gentle breeze gently blowin
country day
Country day
another day in the unknown
I can feel it deep in my bones
country day

And that rock
it missed your head
through it didn't miss by much
I remember what you said
no i mean it
I am touched
and somehow it is enough
so god keep our land
cuz we certainly can't
until the darkness ends
until the sun tries again
our dreams are where we're at
what we can smell and touch
work we understand
we don't want too much

Country day
a day in the unknown
a gentle breeze gently blowin
country day
Country day
another day in the unknown
Drawing gently to a close
country day
