Canada has some really great bands most people don’t know about. Here’s a beautiful song by the band Half Moon Run:
No More Losing The War
Lyrics
Somebody stop her
The lifter
The runner
The girl with the gold in her mouthThey caught her at london
Waterloo station
Strung up on a ferris wheelShe used to lose pageants
“Pick of the litter”
The newspapers screamed from their racks
Pictures at seven, nine-teen eighty-somethin
The waltz on her father’s shoesNo more losing the war, Karen
No more losing the war, KarenBut I really knew her
In an after-pub-closing way
falling down, crawling drunk laughing like children with sugared up gullets
I rue this dayNo more losing the war, Karen
Oh Karen…No more losing the war
You got me all frustrated
In an old fashioned wayEasy does it rider
I’ve had a long, long dayNo more losing the war, Karen
No more losing the war, Karen
