| The Weakerthans – The Prescience of Dawn Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
personally, i don't think relationships enter into this. romance in this sense seems more like a heoric/corny way of checking out.
Father will you teach me how to die the right way someday. I don't want a second chance to turn my stuttering reluctance into romance. |

not to get too rational on this, but it's about reversing time's arrow. moving forward from now to the past. now as far as why and all that, that's the art. |

dance down the sheet to the tune of hurry hurry hard...
must be the sweepers rushing to keep ahead of the stone, avoiding previous throws, sweeping hard, trying to save momentum.
player dawdling in the lounge, not wanting to face relationship issues. i can almost see those old banners & pictures, must be from bowling alley cafeterias here. |

i think the 3rd stanza and the last are about some one he knows in this city he's in for the business conference. the rest is the narrative of the guy's day -- you won't believe how this one ends. |

it's odd how corny these lyrics can look on paper, but the song pulls them off handily. does anyone know what the chanty-sounding voices are saying -- most evident toward the end? |

this is hte first song i heard by this band, i reallyf ell for it.
i love how if you stripped off the vocal track it could be some bad 80's r&r band.
but his pacing, phrasing, andt he quality of his voice makes it really a compelling song. |

| The Weakerthans – Plea from a Cat Named Virtute Lyrics

"... and the modern man", it's a bit of cliche they're poking fun at.
sex and the modern man, religion and the modern man, all these overwrought academic treaty type books.
google and see :) |
