The Blue Rodeo Legacy is a little thing I have put together. I used all of the titles of their songs and put them into a poem, of sorts. And as new albums come out, I`ll be adding to it.
I just want to find a heart like mine,
someone with rose-coloured glasses,
but not too much of a rebel.
Someone who watched joker`s wild,
someone who has visited the piranha pool.
Have you ever been to the outskirts?
Have you ever visited the underground city?
Just remember that five will get you six,
as long as you try your best,
and keep your mind from floating away.
Watching the swells on the river below,
thinking about god and country,
and how long til I leave,
for the blues piano show.
Love and understanding is what,
this girl of mine gives me.
And our love shines like a diamond mine,
and always will, now and forever.
The percussive piano echos,
in the halls of this house of dreams.
It was a nice try,
trying to get me to fall in line,
maybe one day I will,
but not here in Florida,
cause I just might blow my fuse,
during the ballad of the dime store greaser and the blonde mona lisa.
So til I am myself again,
I`ll keep wondering what am I doing here?
Even during 5AM(a love song),
even though we`re in Montréal,
and neither of us will get the last laugh.
I told you to just trust yourself,
but you said everyone has two tongues,
I replied time will tell,
just wait until after the rain,
cause you`re everywhere.
There`s so many fools like you,
that all rain down on me.
They`re so restless,
and they love those western skies.
They`re just waiting for the big push.
There`s one main willin' fool,
that`s already gone,
gone flying.
Soon they`ll all be lost together,
and we`ll say where are you now?
But we won`t be the last to know,
or to ask is it you,
or the angels?
Those five days in May,
still hasn`t hit me yet.
I guess it was just bad timing.
I keep looking at Cynthia,
and me in this photograph.
I wonder what is this love?
I look out at English Bay,
and go head over heels.
So til I gain control again,
just remember, dark angel,
until you know where you go, tell me your dream.
Please help me to save myself,
oh girl in green,
please tell me what you want.
At the side of the road,
we`re better off as we are.
And in the sky,
you can see a brown-eyed dog.
I blew it again.
I hope this`ll get through to you,
through your armour.
Follow the train,
to your flaming bed.
I`ll lay awake under the moon&tree,
and shed my skin,
thinking of my no miracle, no dazzle life.
I`m always falling down blue.
How you said I could never be that man.
You were always such a beautiful blue,
even when you had fallen from grace.
I know someday me&baz,
we will disappear.
Just remember it could happen to you.
Just keep dragging on,
but don`t forget dear brother Andre`s heart,
and the frog`s lullaby,
coming from the graveyard.
I love the cinema song.
I am the seeker,
who`s begging you to let me in,
for a taste of the bitter fruit of life.
Just remember somebody waits,
just for you Andrea.
Remember all those sad nights,
spent driving down this road.
And all the days in between.
They were always getting better,
until our rage would break out,
at pour Truscott.
Here in this palace of gold,
I`m just barely holding on.
I am a homeward bound angel,
I`m not bulletproof,
like that comet shooting across the sky.
Just walk like you don`t mind,
because love never lies.
When you reach the stage door,
you`ll find your cause for sympathy.
Oh, what a surprise!
With this new found clearer view,
we`re just glad to be alive.
Until we have to find a way to say goodbye.
So please, tell me baby, how do I let go?
