Lyrics "Something to Cry about" - eric_c - 11-16-2004

Hey guys,

"Discovered" a new Hip song in the Ultimate Rarities folder that I just love, "Something to Cry About". Listening to other boots, I've since realized this gem is scattered in various songs, such as NOIS - Diana Goddess of the Hunt.

Anyhow, I'm trying to figure out the lyrics to a particular section of the song.

"We take a walk, hand in hand,
You drop me off, I...... "

Wish you hadn't? Anybody?

Did you try LB's website?

No, what's the link?

I think the rest of the lyric is "I miss you and, you, you'll give me something to cry about." The song is originally done by Mary Margaret O'Hara, and it's proper title is "To Cry About". I'm poking around for the full lyrics without much luck. I'll post them when I find them. :thumb:

I'm in the same boat as you Jenna.

Such a great tune. My question is who plays piano on the GD track. Dave Bidini says "thanks Mary" afterwards, so is she the one adding to her own tune?

Cheers

Pat

That would be the multi-talented Kevin Hearn of Barenaked Ladies fame (and of course Kevin Hearn and Thin Buckle fame) on the piano.

To Cry About

You take me over, I’ll be your side
You take my life, I’ll give you mine
And you, you give me something
To cry about

You’re in my heart, I’m in your hand
You drop off me off, I miss you and
You, you give me something
To cry about

In a pinch you listen to me
You’ve already seen what’s to see
There will be a timed disaster
There’s no you in my hereafter

And, and I’ll still feel for ya after you go
And you, you’ll know better than to cry
Cry about

To cry about

You’re in my heart, I’m in your hand
You drop me off, I miss you and
You give me something
Oh, this is your wrong, this is your land
Take off your cross, strike up the band

I’ll still fall for ya after you go
And you, you’ll know better than to cry
To cry about

To cry about

It took me awhile to find this on the shelf. I also have the lyrics to "Northern Wind", "Take Me In Your Hand" and "I Feel Guilt" if anybody's interested. I haven't put them on my site yet because I'm unsure of the dates/locations. I think the disc (I have) was the 2nd disc of the Let's Gather Round The Fan compilation but I didn't label it and I can't get on the FTP to verify. So any help would be appreciated. I believe Northern Wind and I Feel Guilt is Swinging On A Star CBC Studios but is it 92 or 93? And I have no clue where the other two songs are from.

Artemis is singing it. I don't know why she would pick that song. Tongue

My good man Carlos can hook ya up with the myth Gord's retelling...
