Me debunk an American myth?
And take my life in my hands?
Which to me refers to how wound-up Americans (or America as a nation) can get when challenged about their often-skewed perception of the world and historical events.  |

i lurrrv the tragically hip !!!!!!
a canadian kid came to our company on a work placement about '91 he left me a tape with up to here and road apples albums on, theyre still among my fav albums , did you know that the Stereophonics were originally called Tragic Love Company after their fav bands tragically hip and bad company, cant remember where the love was from
anyway lyrics from one of my fav songs,
tragically hip - 38 years old.
See my sister got raped, so a man got killed
Local boy went to prison, man's buried on the hill
Folks went back to normal when they closed the case
They still stare at their shoes when they pass our place
Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall
Been one seat empty 18 years in all
Freezing slow time away from the world
He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl
He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl
