Canada Dry
We were shining like Aurora Borealis
Like Sid sipping from the Stanley chalice
Balling in a bus across the USA
Dumb enough to think that it would stay that way
Lounging in the living room in long johns
More distant than Victoria to St. John's
Trying to use a record to repair my heart
I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to start again
My friend
You're leaving me high and Canada dry
I'm out of your head and I'm losing my mind
Listening to Neil is making me cry
You're leaving me high and Canada dry
Sinking like a Saskatoon sunset
Thinking that we had it from the outset
Tommy said that life was a highway, dear
But I became the road kill when you oversteered
Oh why, oh why?
You're leaving me high and Canada dry
I'm out of your head and I'm losing my mind
Now listening to Joni's making me cry
You're leaving me high and Canada dry
High
You fled the snow, while I stayed here
I'll let you know, I'll make it clear
How happy I appear
High and Canada Dry
I'm out of your head and I'm losing my mind
Listening to Gordie is making me cry
You're leaving me high
You're leaving me high
You're leaving me high
And Canada dry
High and Canada dry

I was going to post something similar this morning about Canada Dry. Listened to the album for first time on my way to work and noticed the Gord reference. I'll be seeing them next week in Ottawa and based on this tour's setlists they've played ABAC twice and CHANCELLOR!!! twice. Crossing my fingers.

This is a fantastic performance of a tribute song written for Gord by Our Lady Peace: "Ballad of a Poet". Maida beautifully describes the atmosphere at a Hip concert with the lines, "Came on like a mountaineer, exploring beauty through the syllables and cheers, there was something different in the air, something magical, the crowd was unprepared." He also throws in a reference to Smalltown Bringdown and Gord's Canadian tuxedo.
A live version of this was posted earlier but this one is professionally shot and worth the listen:

Just saw the trews in Kingston and Serena Ryder joined them onstage for ahead by a century.
The whole place sang along. Very moving moment.
