"We Are The Same" Tragically Hip

(ca. 12 mins) A story video from the Hip that strings together three songs from their latest album, "We Are The Same". To wit: "The Last Recluse", "Coffee Girl", and "Morning Moon". I especially like the first one. Lyrics in.

We rode hard for the boat, hard as we could
"No tears," you said, "Understood?"
"Understood?" I said, "All right"

'A crowd will be born', 'only born die'
I'm not one to watch for a sign in the night
Or to watch 'a bomb go off in a young girl's life'

Who are you? The Last Recluse?
Who are you? The Last Canada Goose?
Who are you? What is it with you?
Who are you? Who are you?

When the wind comes up
And the surface of the water scuffs
"Enough, enough" the ferry whistle cried
Just ride, you said, ride and shut up

I jumped on board
Turned around to wave goodbye
You were already on your bike
And riding with my bike by your side

Who are you? The Black Canoe?
Who are you? The Last Of The Immune?
Who are you? You rode out of view
As far as I knew, it was you

Who broke my heart from the start
Made me work, work so hard
To get where I am
To where I'd let you do it all again

Who are you? Who are you?
What do I do, without you?

Who are you? The Last Recluse?
Who are you? The Last Of The Immune?
Are you The Last Canoe? The Last Canada Goose?
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?

Who are you? Who are you?

It's hard to leave your bed
The cool and hard summer sheets
Hangover hanging on by the fangs
Walk to work on wild feet
Get to the back door
Look around and turn the key
Turn on all the lights
Take down the chairs and make things neat

Hey, there, Coffee Girl
Beautiful and disaffected
It was perfect till
He came along and wrecked it

Your favourite mixed tape
You popped it into the deck
Don't care it's out of date
Old Cat Power and classic Beck
Beware Purveyors of Cool
With their compacts of one
Taking cannons to fools
When all you need's a BB gun

Hey there, Coffee Girl
Beautiful and disaffected
It was perfect till
He came along and wrecked it

One night he'll make you choose
I am sorry but he will
The hardscape or your shoes
When the moon's behind the hill

Hey there, Coffee Girl
Beautiful and disaffected
It was perfect till
He came along and wrecked it

Hey there, Coffee Girl
Hey there, Coffee Girl
Hey there, Coffee Girl
Hey there, Coffee Girl

The reactor's down
I guess for Labour Day
Today is the first day I ain't seen the great plume of steam
From across the lake
From across the lake
Hey, that's a morning moon, yeah

I'm not making strange
You said, "Someone's paying"
"When something's too cheap
Somebody's paying something"
You said, "Someone's paying something"
Under a morning moon, yeah
Say those little things that don't make anyone feel better, yeah

It didn't take too much to upset her
Nothing that could clear a room
Just say one little thing that could make me feel better
Under this morning moon, yeah

The sun's a lightbulb
And the moon is a mirror
There are times when you can see
Both the bulb and the mirror
See the bulb in the mirror
And that's morning moon, yeah
Say those little things that don't make anyone feel better, yeah

It doesn't take too much to upset her
It was nothing that could clear a room
Just say one little thing, trying to make you feel better
Under this morning moon, yeah
Under this morning moon, yeah

Morning moon, yeah, trying to make you feel better
Morning moon, yeah, nothing too far from the truth
Morning moon, yeah, trying to make you feel better
Morning moon, yeah, nothing too far from the truth
Morning moon, yeah, trying to make you feel better
Morning moon, yeah, nothing too far from the truth
