The Log Driver's Waltz
(Wade Hemsworth)
If you should ask any girl from the parish around
What pleases her most from her head to her toes,
She'll say - I'm not sure that it's business of yours,
But I do like to waltz with a log driver.
Cho: For he goes birling down a-down the white water;
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly.
It's birling down, a-down white water;
A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely.
When the drive's nearly over, I like to go down
To watch all the lads as they work on the river.
I know that come evening they'll be in the town
And we all like to waltz with a log driver.
To please both my parents I've had to give way
And dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers.
Their manners are fine but their feet are of clay
For there's none with the style of my log driver.
Now I've had my chances with all sorts of men
But none is so fine as my lad on the river.
So when the drive's over, if he asks me again,
I think I will marry my log driver.
Wheat Kings
(The Tragically Hip)
Sun down in the paris of the prairies
Wheat kings have all their treasures burried.
And all you hear are the rusty breezes
Pushing around the weather vane Jesus
In his Zippo lighter he sees the killer's face
Or maybe it's someone standing in a killer's place
20 years for nothing, well thats nothing knew...besides
No one's interested in something ya didn't do.
Chorus:
Wheat Kings and pretty things.
Let's just see what the morning brings
Theres a dream he dreams
where the high school is dead and stark
It's a museum and we're all locked up in it after dark,
the walls are lined all yellow grey and sinister
hung with pictures of our parent's prime minister's
Chorus:
Late breaking story on the CBC
A nation whispers "we always knew that he'd go free"
And ya can't be fond of living in the past.
Cuz if you are then there's no way that you're gonna last
Chorus: repeat
2nd time:
Wheat kings and pretty things
Oh that's what tomorrow brings
Dream about tomorrow.
(Mel Ushikubo)
Your running around,
Your running around, and around and around
Always tryin’ to get yourself up,
By Putting everyone down.
どこへゆく
どこへゆけばいい
(nanika wo tsukamu tameni, hito wo netandari)
何かを掴むために人をねたんだり
(keotosu kotowa, maru de imi mo nai sa)
蹴落とすことわまるでいみもないさあ
We ain’t going to live that way anymore.
We ain’t going to see it through your eyes.
There’s a new sun on the rise.
Leonard Cohen
Hallelujah
(Leonard Cohen)
And I say dream about tomorrow.
Don’t hold back, just believe it.
Dream about tomorrow,
And it’s here.
I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music do you
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled King composing Hallelujah
(Shinjitsu ga mai oriru)
真実が舞い降りる
(uso ni kakomaretemo)
嘘に囲まれても
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Itsudemo ruuru ni shibararezuni)
いつでもルールに縛られずに
(Itsudemo ruuru nara kawaru kara)
いつでもルールなら変わるから
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
(Bokutachi ha chigau no sa)
僕たちは違うのさ
(Atarashii sekai ga aru)
新しい世界がある
(Taiyou ha mata noboru kara)
太陽はまた昇るから
And I say dream about tomorrow.
(Yume ha kitto kanau yo)
夢はきっと叶うよ
Dream about tomorrow,
(Asa ga kuru)
朝が来る
Dream about tomorrow.
Don’t hold back, just believe it.
Dream about tomorrow,
(Asa ga kuru) oo oo oo oo
朝が来る
Dream about tomorrow,
And it’s real…
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Loon
Maybe I’ve been here before
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I saw your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Duel
(Ken Kinoshita and
Mel Ushikubo)
I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong,
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
