===Lyrics===

Can't think a straight line beyond the hill/ It seems like a mountain next to an ocean behind/ A thrill almost in my reach/ If there's a way I

could/ Feel the face of intelligence/ I'm a man, I would understand/ What a good head says...you're no me/ Can't see the forest for all/

The green, it all gets in my way/ Can't dig a desert without/ The need for old religion, for holy grails/ And a Jesus nail through the head/

For all the pain and misguided faith/ My mind erased before I had time/ To waste my afternoon

Every thirty days a light goes on / And brightens my backyard a yellow/ Dying sun/ I bite my tongue and swallow pride and blood/ On

some other plane I have/ Become affected drawn and strange/ I'm inclined to blame/ My Mother for dressing me like a girl/ I don't know

maybe that's kind of weird

A teenage breakdown without the will/ Or without thinking/ Taking low roads and coloured pills/ Always searching/ Maybe then I would

find / A place in this mess/ It swells a vein that the only things/ That are keeping me awake/ Are re-runs of the Mod Squad and cartoons

It was too lyrically smart for the 90's. There was too much dynamic range for radio to want to play in their over compressed playlists. An they wanted Canadian bands to be more like Bare Naked Ladies, not ones influenced by Santana because "that doesn't make sense."

Is it just me or did the alternative/grunge sans 'no wave' movement, with SOUNDGARDEN & NIRVANA (my faves) just seem very late 1960s ; in essence? I don't care for the lyrics at all & I must admit it's Alex Lifeson's 'Victor' that brought me here. Alex 'Vampirello' Strangiato Life'Son' has got, as THE WHO would say - "such a supple wrist"

I remember driving through eastern saskatchewan early morning listening to this cd , another sunday was the perfect soundtrack for that moment. I saw IME live without Edwin and it was a great show the place went crazy, too bad Edwin is gone they had a good chemistry, not to dis the other guy he was a good performer.
