Yeah, agreed. Dr. Pee's piano flairs make it interesting for me, whether it was kind of ho-hum before.

Now you can see who got it closest
You were streets ahead
I couldn't sleep a wink
Staring in the dark
By the light of your skin
At myself sitting
On a suitcase
Or as the sleeping youth
In the upset sleigh
They don't wait they won't wait
They run with the weather
They don't wait
Listen you can hear
The sound of the sleigh
The panting of the team
Of all runners away
And all the gentle work
Of the traces
Their jingle-jangle jerk
Destroying all space
They won't wait they don't wait
They run with the weather
They don't wait
They don't wait they won't wait
Just stay together
They don't wait
Wait. Wait! Wait! Wait.
Please, just stay together
They don't wait they won't wait
They run with the weather
They don't wait
They don't wait they won't wait
Just stay together
They don't wait
Wait. Wait! Wait! Wait.
Please just stay together

Pretty damn close — for the life of me, I couldn't get "Or as the sleeping youth in the upset sleigh", instead thinking it was "All the air's asleep with you in the upset sleigh".
Still my favourite tune on the album.

Exactly. Thats the first thing that popped in my head when I first heard this song!
The sound of the sleigh
The panting of the team
Of all runners away
And all the gentle work
Of the traces
Their jingle-jangle jerk
Absolutely love this song!

Not sure about responding to a 2.5 year old thread, but I'm wondering about Hip version of Night is for Getting - as in, where can I be gettin' ahold of it? I think I have all the various and sundry unreleased bonus track things but that is the one I'm missing.
Thanks for any help!

I can only see the Gord Downie version on the US version (eg where I live) of iTunes. So yes, anyone who can help me with the Hip version, much appreciated!
