“The Thinking Man's Party Band...one of the best violinists I've ever seen."
Victor Bonderoff - The Vancouver Sun

     

22


I wish you were not leaving but then you’re 21
I liked you older than yourself
but now you’ve grown so young
I won’t drink myself stupid or
spin barstool tales on you
It’s not your fault you can’t remember feeling like I still do

 

Your head shake, and re-birth-quake
I feel so big and dumb, and I can’t run your speed
So you pedanticate I’ll do
and when your twenty two
you might have learned from me

 

You raised yourself in hippie land
freedom to go nowhere
Now you can’t think two weeks ahead
but you can ponder air
I won’t give up on love just yet
but I might take a breath
Maybe next time I’m born
I’ll have the spine to feel again

 

Your head shake, and re-birth-quake
I feel so big and dumb and don’t have time to read
So you pontificate, I’ll do
And by the time your twenty two
you might have learned from me

 

Should’ve known it was one big party
Should’ve kept my red nose on
Masochismo man seeks fickle child
over grown and out of hubris
My remains rest in your jaw
Never thought you’d bite with such a smile 

 

CHORUS 1

 

Lately you’ve tried to give me more
bad memories to chew
To kill the taste of wonderfulls
that I’ve been clinging to
Thank you for being such a bitch
here near the end of us
You’ve made it easy to let go
by being hard to love

 

CHORUS 1
