The Canuck
The Canuck is on his way to the city
He will never find his way
Through the many wanderers asking for his money
Already torn enough to even say
Mama I don’t reach the spark
These rambling thoughts are all I got
But I have sworn
I will keep my word
Like a middle east priest gone berserk
I’m sure enough of what I say
And if the city lies ahead in front of me
Well wouldn’t it be too easy
To just head back to my beautiful Columbia
Skipping through the holy Czech Bohemia
Mama I know it’s been said a thousand times already
But home I’ll never be
And as St. Pauli cries the midnights
Filling in the empty on the shoreline
As St. Pauli cries the midnights
The Canuck enters the city in the moonlight

The Tellers
I was told to go out and see the day
I was told to go out
I was told to run, and I did run
I was told to go out
In the wilderness
Well the wilderness is gone
Well the wilderness is gone
I was told to dig a little deeper
That maybe I can even solve the mystery
I was told to dig a little deeper
That maybe I can even solve the mystery
But the way it’s going
I don’t even see what I can do
Oh the way it’s going
I don't even see what I can do
But the way it’s going
I don’t even see what I can do
I was told to give and give
And don’t you see boy it can do no harm
All the tellers, oh the tellers they were telling me
What I should and what I should not do
But the way it’s going
I don’t see the end
Or I don’t feel it close at all
And I don’t understand what I should do
I was climbing on these paradoxes
They were tickling my head from inside
In places where middle fails be found
You can either be a low or high

Acknowledgement to a Photographer
Right at the turning of these streets
By the crossroad leading down to Limhamn
I’ll see what’s left and I might come
I’ll see what’s left and I might come
The silhouettes I get to make up in the fog
Are vague and rough and blurry and, are moving fast
I couldn’t see in the mayhem
I turned to left when you turned right
So leave your fingerprints where you pass
I’ll track one by one all your photographs
From the North Sea where I’m finally at
I’ll track one by one all your photographs
My maple leaf on the balance is drying out
So flag your 3 crowns high, my friend, above the ground
So I can find you if I must
I’ll see what’s left and I might come
So leave your fingerprints where you pass
I’ll track one by one all your photographs
From the North Sea where I’m finally at
I’ll track one by one all your photographs
My maple leaf on the balance is drying out
So flag your 3 crowns high, my friend, above the ground

Up in the mountain
My brother, you’ve foreseen it too
I’m hoping to reach you in time
And meanwhile I’m waiting, now what’s on the table my brother?
And meanwhile I’m waiting, now what’s on the table my brother?
One day too long
One day too long
If the cards are a-tested, now what’s on the table my brother?
If the cards are a-tested, now what’s on the table my brother?
If the cards are a-tested, now what’s on the table my brother?
Downtown, the day carries on its course
I’m was lying still under the trees
Downtown, the days are longer each day
I’m still lying down under the trees
Come to think about it, it was probably the cusp
On the first day of spring, when the buds come out in the trees
Come to think about it, it was probably the cusp
On the first day of spring, when the buds come out in the trees

Février
Et si jamais
Le soleil
Ne se lève plus
A qui ferais-je ma loi?
Si février
Te glace le sang
Ne pleure pas
C’est février; c’est normal
Malheureusement en février, au Mont-Royal
La neige qui fond en brume sur Montréal
Me fait pleurer de honte et sourire de bonheur
Le printemps est précoce une fois de plus
