lyrics

I'm constantly dreaming
I'm pleasantly scheming
I'm looking out for number one
On the run
With a pocketful of grapes
And an ape on my back
Trying to keep on track
Now I'm reading the paper
With a wit like a rapier
I'm a late night talk show host in my head
Said a joke so subtle
No time for rebuttal
Because the guest didn't understand
A word I said
Relax your mind
And let it flow
You just might find
It starts to grow
When you feel the feeling coming
Building up inside your head
Take a stand
And go where you are lead
Where you are lead
Even when your boots feel
Like they're made of lead
This life's so demanding
And in need of re-branding
So I sand down the edges
So the pain's less sharp
A harp somewhere so distant plays
A mellow mood
Melodious phrase
I have misgivings
About the way, I've been living
About the things that I've said
And haven't said
My head gets so heavy
There's a break in the levy
Water in my mind
Making me go blind
Relax your mind
And let it flow
You just might find
It starts to grow
And when you don't agree
With anything you used to do
Pack it up and start anew
Yeah start anew
When you don't agree
With anything you used to do

colouring outside Saint Pierre and Miquelon

Little is known about this Miquelon power-pop band. They played a handful of shows at the all-ages venue the Moon Snail (?) to moderate acclaim and released the cassette ep "the lines" on their own coquille label in 1984. A dispute between recordist Johnni "JJ" DesRogiers and bassist Mikie led to the destruction of the adat masters. A rough cassette dub from the abortive lp sessions survives. ... more

Sloan breaks absolutely NO new ground on their newest record. And I couldn't care less. Because when the songs are this good, nothing else matters. This kicks ass. Todd Leiter-Weintraub
