I just came across this song by a singer from North Vancouver (the first city I lived in Canada, its a bit special for me). But thats beyond point. Its the song and its lyrics that is rather unsettling.
@iSaidGoodDay @canuck78 Have you heard of the band Spirit of the West?
This song is too surreal....
Far Too Canadian
Lyrics...
I'm so content to stand in line
Wait and see, pass the time
Talk a streak, fall asleep
Wake up late, whine and weep
I kiss the hand that slaps me senseless
I'm so accepting, I am so defenseless
I am far too Canadian
I am far too Canadian
I pick the bones of what's been done
And I'll lick them clean with a cautious tongue
In dim lit rooms, I'll spill my guts
I'm the revolution when the doors are shut
I bite the hand that slaps me senseless
But my patience it is.. too relentless
I am far too Canadian
I am far too Canadian
I am the face of my country
Expressionless and small
Weak at the knees, shaken badly
Can't straighten up at all
I watch the spine of my country
Bend and break
I'm in a sorry state
I scratch the walls to mark the days
With my coup-de-tete, I am locked away
With mother Jones, pots of tea
The kitchen poster, anarchy
I never march in demonstration
I hold my breath for arbitration
I am far too Canadian
I am far too Canadian
I am the face of my country
Expressionless and small
Weak at the knees, shaken badly
Can't straighten up at all
I watch the spine of my country
Bend and break
I'm in a sorry state
I am a sorry state
Won't you welcome to the sorry state
Weak at the knees, shaken badly
Can't straighten up at all
Can't straighten up at all
Straighten up at all
All

WTF???? Such a happy music but ... weird depressing lyrics. Whats going on? Anyone heard of them? Their lead singer sadly passed away in 2019.
