O Canada, I'll miss you...
Trashy bus terminals
Old grey arenas
Potato chips
Ketchup, vinegar, BBQ
Local junior hockey leagues
Snowball castles
Midnight Ski-doo
By the moonlighted snow
Dust from the stars
Snowflakes asteroid fields
By the Darkside of the Moon
O Canada I'll miss you...
Cold War Games
The nuke that could shake up the world
At every Good Morning America
The Great Fear , the Silent War,
Star Wars at Cap Carnival
Ronald Reagan-McDonalds
Will beat the evil cowboys
The Reds are everywhere
But the CIA's everywhere
The Reds coming by the South
The Americans by Niagara Falls
Good ol' Canadian Bacon,
Fat, greasy, tasty like the poutine.
Trashed porn magazines
Hidden under my bed...
Ice skate glory
Wayne Gretzky ruling the world
Luke Skywalker saving the free world
O Canada I'll be missing you
My big furry caramel dog,
Duck the Invincible,
Trying to sodomize kids
The "Little Village Mouse"
At the general store's adult VHS section
exploring uncharted territories
Vaginas wow
Exploding enchanted terrorists
Cold war cold days cold ways
Warm peace warm nights, warm plays
By the house's fireplace
With parents, Duck the dog
And my first fairy love
Beautiful shiny Isabelle
Like a star in the cold night
Daughter of a rich businessmen
Dancing on Banarama
Just being happy
And me, staring at her,
Dazed, clueless
Like a shy little creep
She was the rich fairy darling
I was small gritty and poor
Love had to happen this way.
O Canada I'll miss you
When the National Film Board
Was still making good shit
Wayne Gretzy
Ice-skate glory
Ruling the world
With a Luke Skywalker grin
And a magic mullet
And Brian Mulroneymoon's chin.
Post-referendum post-trauma,
"This ain't a country after all
This is winter."
Said the old folk singer
Greasy melting poutine
Trashed porn magazine
Hidden under the bed
Like my dreams,
Dancing behind the TV screen.
Enjoyable,
Alienation was still enjoyable
Back in the cold winter nights
Of the sweet appalachian Canada
(written on the hill of Zinzine, Fortcalquier, Provence)
