 Fools Like You So good at doing what you don't do just trying to protect yourself and other fools like you So well practised in your deceit behind the high walls of stupidity your endless conceit behind the locked door the sleeping dog you beat I hope I see the day she satisfies her teeth Give back to the native their treaty land what you preach you preach for others why don't you practise that first hand I just don't understand this world of mine I must be out of touch or out of my mind and will the profits of destruction forever make your eyes blind do you bow to the corporations cause they pay their bills on time God bless Elijah with the feather in his hand stop stealing the Indian land stop stealing the Indian land stop stealing the Indian land  Rain Down On Me You never need forgiveness left home at seventeen raised up on hate to a life that's second rate I've seen that look before behind some closing door You couldn't be delivered just won't be denied too much a child confident and wild nobody taught you how to live what to keep and what to give Now she talks to strangers who bring her flowers for her hair but every night you count on me to get you out the door then you smile and watch me lose control You rain on me rain down on me rain down on me I used to think I knew what I was waiting for I don't think that anymore I didn't know what to bring you you don't seem to need too much at all no pearls or chains and nobody's sad refrains everytime I wonder why I think back to the kindness in your eyes Now everybody wants you bring you flowers for your hair but every night you count on me to peel you off the wall then you smile and watch me lose control You rain on me rain down on me rain down on me I used to think I knew what I was fighting for I don't think that anymore  Restless You were so poised like some matador raising his steel it's the same old useless ceremony and a last bow before the kill Every junkie in this laundromat is equal in the eyes of your lord but you just put your hand to your hip you're gonna give them a taste a taste of your sword I get so restless I get so restless I get so restless restless sir In what you hoped looked so dignified you played your exit for a laugh and like they've done so many times before they made excuses on your behalf and every street Jesus and suicide, is just another voice that goes unheard every candle in the cathedral a prayer for a better world I get so restless I get so restless I get so restless restless sir You were so poised like some matador raising his steel it's the same old useless ceremony and a last bow before the kill and in the not too distant future you'll have the preacher and soldier floating round in space the soldier's finger on the trigger the preacher's joined in a state of grace I get so restless I get so restless I get so restless  Western Skies Well I'd rather be walking through the tall pine trees high up above Lake Louise And I'd rather be chasing after shooting stars than waiting for this dumb 503 TTC I'd like to see the sun set behind Saddle Mountain and listen to the wind whisper my name yea this world and me don't fit one of us is going to have to quit oh how I miss those western skies And I'd rather be back in the Rocky Mountains than sitting in some bar on Queen Street And I'd rather be walking through the high meadow than watching the latest war on my TV So please don't you stand in my way I just got to get out of this place if I waste another day I'm sure the sun will forget my name Oh how I miss those western skies oh to see the sunset in her eyes oh to see the sunshine in her eyes And I'd rather be lying by the Bow River just watching the clouds go by Yea I'd rather be anywhere else than here tonight than stuck in the city but through the pain good things will come after the rain the sun but that don't mean much to me stuck in the city oh how I miss those western skies  The Big Push Tell tell me the reasons why tell me every secret you've been told cause everybody knows they're dangerous Hey let me try that wonder stuff the stuff that lets you look at them and nod smile and say thank god it wasn't us When it all goes to pieces and it won't be long once you've had your fun we'll still be sitting here waiting 'til the big push comes Now the moment we've been waiting for the moment that you'll finally realise your promises are lies they turn to dust Time time changes everything can turn you from a hero to a dog living in a fog like the rest of us When it all goes to pieces and it won't be long once you've had your fun we'll all just sit around wait until the big push comes Write write me a pretty poem make belive that paradise is here future's coming clear sun through the clouds And when it all goes to pieces and it won't be long once you've had your fun we'll still be sitting here waiting 'til the big push comes and when it all goes to pieces and it won't be long once you've had your fun we'll all just sit around and wait until the big push comes  Willin' Fool Isn't it funny funny to think I once believed you I thought you were being straight but what a bad joke it's always the same with one hand you offer while the other slaps my face You You made a willin' fool out of me So there you sit in the great city of kicks your apologetic fingers fumbling with a pack of cigarettes your good intentions as hollow as your eyes yea you paint your world with brilliant lies You You made a willin' fool out of me The last time I saw you I was dangling from a ledge you posed quickly for a picture just before I lost my grip you kind a remind me of those psychos in a German film you're that cool smirking weirdo with the voices in his head voices in his head voices in his voices in his voices in his head You You made a willin' fool out of me  Already Gone Monday morning waking up still too numb to speak another night staring at the wall last night's conversation knocked me off my feet I guess today I fall I wish that we could agree to look the other way be careful of the things we do and watch the things we say maybe then we'd get somewhere we've never been before but what's the use in fighting When you know you've lost the war Walked the streets of New Orleans shirt soaked to my skin through the mess of yesterday's parade a thousand times a day I think of calling you again but I come to my senses instead Everytime we walk away we lose a little time pretending to each other everything is fine after all the lies I use to get myself to sleep I still wake up to the promises I know we'll never keep Say you don't see what's wrong every night lasts so long I know I do you're already gone I wonder should I get up I would but what's the point when something's gone it's gone for good maybe I could look away back to where we used to be one more time I wish I could Never mind the reasons that tore us all apart we've both done things I know we can't defend What's the use in tracing it all back to the start there'll still be something missing in the end I wish that we could find the words to look the other way be careful of the things we do and watch the things we say maybe then we'd get somewhere we've never been before but what's the use in fighting when you know you've lost the war Say you don't see what's wrong every night lasts so long I know I do you're already gone I know you're already gone  Flying I'm not saying I'm angry now I'm just wondering why you changed your mind happens all the time How does it feel to have a winning hand from a first-rate failure to the leader in the chosen land people never understand If the world keeps spinning round it'll be alright you said if you were on your own you could really fly Fly while you're up there turn around and touch the sky I guess the point of getting out is never saying goodbye You learn your lessons in the hardest time run out of patience lean on the bold face lie people never wonder why I feel too tired to scream and shout left in the sun 'til the colours all fade out If the world keeps spinning round it'll be alright you left us long ago so you could really fly  Lost Together Strange and beautiful are the stars tonight that dance around your head in your eyes I see that perfect world I hope that doesn't sound too weird And I want all the world to know that your love's all I need all that I need and if we're lost then we are lost together yea if we're lost then we are lost together I stand before this faceless crowd and I wonder why I bother so much controlled by so few stumbling from one disaster to another I've heard it all so many times before it's all a dream to me now a dream to me now And if we're lost then we are lost together yea if we're lost then we are lost together In this silence of this whispered night I listen only to your breath and that second of a shooting star somehow it all makes sense And I want all the world to know that your love's all I need all that I need and if we're lost then we are lost together yea if we're lost then we are lost together  Where Are You Now You were so complete you made a perfect mess of my head I should have known better but I was bored and looking for kicks You were the open window a two lane highway headed West you were my adventure the silver charm around my neck So where are you now I thought I was going crazy but now it just makes me laugh I'm talking to the TV and the TV is talking back You were the dare at midnight the gold narcotic on my breath you were the beggar's tin cup you were the stain on my bed So where are you now yea where are you now I'm gonna buy an old car and drive high into the sun maybe if I lose it all we'll have us a little fun you were the desert motel you were the rose in my teeth you were the first to forgive me you made the last drink taste so sweet So where are you now where are you now you gotta tell me where are you now come on come on where where where are you now, where  Last To Know What took so long to build took a moment to slip away you could barely hide the satisfaction on your face Time takes another day changes you in subtle ways lifts you up then slowly lets you go Sitting there across the room your smile looks like a threat I'm living underneath the heel of what you might say next Memory works in strange ways cuts you down makes you pay one day you'll be walking fine the next day lightning hits you from behind One heart one love two people who can't rise above each time we fall don't know what I was thinking of don't say it's so don't say it's so let me be the last to know Seems we move backward now the further on we walk hard to find a single line through all our double talk Home late and drunk again close the door shut out the rain one more day no damage done but my spirits are falling sinking like the sun One heart one love two people who can't rise above each time we fall don't know what I was thinking of don't say it's so don't say it's so let me be the last to know I'm standing at your doorway I can hear your voice inside you're telling all your friends what you're gonna say to me tonight write me a better part find the words to break your heart keep you on your knees forever funny how my tongue gets tied together One heart one love two people who can't rise above each time we fall don't know what I could be dreaming of don't say it's so don't say it's so let me be the last to know  Is It You Is it you I wonder and still it makes me laugh is it you that I'm looking for don't turn away so fast and while you were talking wide-eyed I fell asleep hoping tomorrow would be as sweet Is it you who whispered into my hazy soul is it you who makes the flowers bloom on the tenement windowsill in a hotel room a TV glows and songs are exchanged drunkenly chasing the ghost of eternity There's a drunk on the sidewalk trying to look unconcerned and the dead eyed motel blondes wait in line for their turn Is it you who laughs when all the other dogs snarl is it you just because you listened for a while and with this buzz of electricity still ringing in my ears I wonder is it you I wonder is it you  Angels Sometimes it all looks like some Chagall I close my eyes and disappear for awhile and the world is falling slowly out of view while the angels are singing singing me home yeah the angels are singing singing me home 3 o'clock in the morning and I'm feeling no pain from way up here it sure all looks the same and the stars are spinning like pinwheels in the sky while the angels are singing singing me home yeah the angels are singing singing me home I think I'll stay here a little longer close my eyes and go back to nowhere and I wonder if I'll ever get used to this life I've been living while the angels are singing singing me home yeah the angels are singing singing me home Home Home Home Produced and Mixed by: Blue Rodeo & Peter Doell All songs
