Thompson Girl, I'm stranded at the Unique MotelThompson Girl, winterfighter's shot on the car as wellLooks like Christmas at fifty five degreesThis latitude weakens my knees, Thompson GirlGrunt work somewhere between dream and dutyPoking through with all them shoots of beautyThompson Girl walking form ChurchillAcross the icy world with polar bears it's mostly uphillBut when she saw that nickel stackShe whistled hard and I whistled back, Thompson GirlGrunt work time between dream state and dutyPoking through with all them shoots of beautyGrunt work somewhere between dream and dutyPoking through with all them shoots of beautyThompson Girl, we're down to the deadhouse plantsThompson Girl, we've jettisoned everything we canShe says springtime's coming, wait till you see itPoking through with them shoots of beautyIt's the end of rent-a-movie weatherIt's time we end this siege together, Thompson GirlThompson GirlThompson GirlThompson Girl

In about 1998 at a concert in London, Ontario, Gord said, "This is a song about a Cop." So the song could be from the perspective of an RCMP officer posted to Thompson, Manitoba - "Somewhere between dream state and duty"?

dallas did a radio interview just before the release his album stating that sleeping sickness was one of the first songs he had ever written. however he could not get a rythm for it After hearing this song on tour one night it hit him, this was it, so he called gord and asked him if he could use it gord said of course dallas asked him if he would like to sing in the song gord said yes. gord also tried to sing like dallas on sleeping sickness. oh yeah both songs are track 5 for a reason :)

Dallas says in the Recording of.. video of sleeping sickness that he heard this song and it gave him the idea for the rhythm for sleeping sickness.

Funniest part of this song for me was the fact i lost my v-card to a Thompson girl :)

@godlovesugly208 Yeah this song was written 1998 so it's a possibility that Dallas Green took some inspiration from it. The funny thing is, the lead singer of The Tragically Hip, Gordon Downie, was featured in City and Colour's song Sleeping Sickness! So there is a good chance we're correct.
