I noticed the other day that quite frequently the only time the f word is used in Hip (and Gord solo) songs it is in quotations, not him actually saying it. Examples:
Fireworks: "You said you didn't give a f about hockey"
The Heart of the Melt: "I could dance with the puck... you said..."
Nashville: Opening lyrics.
Vancouver Divorce: "[She] said it's art just f'in miror it"
I know there's more examples of this, I just can't do it off the top of my head. Anyone have more examples, or examples of where he just straight up uses the f word without quotations? I just thought it was a little curious about why this is.

Fire in the Hole:
Brutal as depicted truth
That kid's a fuckin' goof
Turn your lanterns low
100th:
I remember, I remember Buffalo and I remember Hengelo
It would seem to me I remember every
single fuckin' thing I know
Locked:
Morning broke out the backside of a truck-stop
The end of a line a real, rainbow-likening, luck stop
Where you could say I became chronologically fucked up
All Tore Up:
Ya play yer Fuck-Off-Nows right
and don't clear the place
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

Yeah I guess there's a lot of them, but it seems like in most of them it's more a fictional character (oftentimes the speaker of the song, not Gord) using the profanity. Ya understand? It weren't no thing...

I place 100% of the blame for my excessive use of F Bombs on Gord and Ed Vedder. :mrgreen:
