words and music by Gord Sinclair)

Evelyn-Evelyn
Where were you last night?
Evelyn-Evelyn
Where were you last night?

waited on your front porch till the break of day
but when the dawn broke I could no longer wait for...

chorus

must have phoned a million times no answer came
what kind of fool am I to play this game with...

chorus

this has gone on before
I can't take it no more
I'll even up the score and
get away from...

chorus

if you must have your way you won't have me
I won't be pushed around I must get free from...

chorus

Hip Tragically - Fire In The Hole

Artist: Hip Tragically
Music Album: Day For Night
(Music Song Lyrics):
-------------------

You triumphed over will
You had immunity to kill
You had your dreams fulfilled
And I love you still
But there's a power beyond control
There's a fire in the hole
Ah the nights are getting cold
All your secrets will be told
Turn your lanterns low

As long as you can dig up proof
As cold as water through the roof
Brutal as depicted truth
That kid's a f-ckin goof
Turn your lanterns low
But there's a power beyond control
There's a fire in the hole
Yeah the nights are getting cold
All his secrets will be told
Turn your lanterns low
Alright

I'd like to stand up soon and show
I'd like to let some people know
I'd turn my bucket over
I'd turn my lantern low
But there's a power beyond control
There's a fire in the hole
Yeah the nights are getting cold
All my secrets would be told
Turn your lanterns low
Alright
Alright

(Music Song Lyrics):
He said I'm fabulously rich, c'mon just let's go.
She kinda bit her lip, jeez I don't know.
But I can guarantee
(I can guarantee)
They'll be no knock on the door
(I can guarantee)
I'm total pro
(They'll be no knock on the door)
That's what I'm here for.

I come from downtown, born and ready for you.
Armed with, Will and determination, and grace, too.

The secret rules of engagement, are hard to endorse.
When the appearance of conflict, meet the appearance of force.
But I can guarantee,

They'll be no knock on the door
(I can guarantee)
I'm total, pro here.
(They'll be no knock on the door)
That's what I'm here for

Armed with, skill and it's frustration, and grace, too

Hip Tragically - Greasy Jungle

Artist: Hip Tragically
Music Album: Day For Night
(Music Song Lyrics):
----------------

Greasy jungle metropolis noir
Easy tangles the easiest so far
Ah
I drove down your road
to Hazeldean where I tasted
your funeral home's sandwiches and coffee
I saw your hands melt into one another
I saw you grieve and grow
care alot about one another
I stood at your sink
and I felt your warm water
I washed your dishes
and I looked out your kitchen window where I
saw a soulful gymnast
melt in the air and shudder
just above the snow
making moves that just weren't there
Ah
Velvet callow with wet hands
I turned out the lights and
breathing shallow hesitated
then went upstairs where
I picked up your housecoat
dried my hands and
touched your hair
and just then you awoke
you could never really barely care
Ah
Greasy jungle metropolis noir

Hip Tragically - Emporer Penguin

Artist: Hip Tragically
Music Album: Phantom Power
(Music Song Lyrics):
I like the tone of your trumpet
c'mon let's spill some paint
let's raise a glass of milk to the end of another day
and to the kiss that's still intangible
the kids are alright just unmanageable
they won't do a damn thing you say

Your voice is all detached on a radio wave breeze
we have another caller with a bachelor degree
talkin alien invasion is the only chance for unity
well sorry to interrupt you caller
but that's a physical impossibility

You'd be tossed up or washed up
the narrator relates
in a spartan antarctican walk for many days
meet with Emperor Penguin devotion to the egg
and their women are swimming from half an ocean away

Don't sound so detached this is you and me
just give me your opinion before you turn to leave
but your crust is just incredible
the radio was edible
when you said don't wipe your asses with your sleeve
you're a physical impossibility

Hip Tragically - Giftshop

Artist: Hip Tragically
Music Album: Trouble At The Henhouse
(Music Song Lyrics):
The beautiful lull,
the dangerous tug
we get to feel small
from high up above
and after a glimpse
over the top
the rest of the world
becomes a giftshop

The pendulum swings
for the horse like a man
out over the rim
is ice cream to him
the beautiful lull,
the dangerous tug
we get to feel small
but not out of place at all

We're forced to bed
but we're free to dream
all us human extras,
all us herded beings
and after a glimpse
over the top
the rest of the world
becomes a giftshop

I don't know what to believe,
sometimes I even forget
and if it's a lie,
terrorists made me say it
the beautiful lull,
the dangerous tug
we get to feel small
from high up above

from high up above

Hip Tragically - Flamenco

Artist: Hip Tragically
Music Album: Trouble At The Henhouse
(Music Song Lyrics):
Does it diminish your
super-capacity to love

Walk like a matador
don't be chicken-shit
and turn breezes into rivulets
flamenco-sweep the air
and weave the sun
and stamp your feet for everyone

Does it exhibit your
natural tendency to hate

Maybe a prostitute
could teach you
how to take a compliment

Maybe I'll go to New York
I'll drag you there
you said "no one drags me anywhere"

Does it diminish your
super-capacity to love

Hip Tragically - Fully Completely

Artist: Hip Tragically
Music Album: Fully Completely
(Music Song Lyrics):
Bring me back in shackles,
hang me long out in the sun,
exonerate me, forget about me
I recommend measures for ending it.
Lover, she simply slammed the door.
She said, "you're gonna miss me."
Wait and you'll see." fully, completely
I ponder the endlessness of the stars,
ignoring said same of my father.
Either it'll move me
or it'll move right through me;
fully, completely

Hip Tragically - Emergency

Artist: Hip Tragically
Music Album: Day For Night
(Music Song Lyrics):
------------

I've often dreamt of a conversation
that just keeps coming up again and again.
WE'RE sitting in the Baby Bar bereft
at a shadowy table out past the sentences end.
From until it's no longer fun
to that's no longer relevant.
From until we're NO LONGER one
to the bona-fide embodiment of an endless
emergency without end.
We're an endless emergency without end

We often stop in these conversations,
things we say here stay here FOREVER AMEN.
When everything seems either funny or lousy,
funny or lousy, that's where it usually ends.
From until we're no longer fun
to that's no longer RELEVANT.
From until we're no longer one
to that's no longer permanent.
From the last survivors of those terms
to the bona-fide embodiment
of an endless emergency
without end.
We're an endless EMERGENCY
without end.
We're an endless emergency
without end,

but
your finger starts to wiggle
and
landscapes emerge

Hip Tragically - Courage For Hugh Maclennan

Artist: Hip Tragically
Music Album: Fully Completely
(Music Song Lyrics):
Watch the band through a bunch of dancers
Quickly, follow the unknown with something more familiar.
Quickly something familiar
Courage, my word it did'nt come it doesn't matter

Sleepwalk, so fast asleep in a motel
that has the lay of home and piss on all of your
background and piss on all your surroundings
Courage, my word, id didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, it couldn't come at a worse time

So there's no simple explanation
for anything important any of us do
and yea the human tragedy
consists in the necessity
of living with the consequences
under pressure, under pressure.
Courage, my word, it didn't come, it doesn't matter,
Courage, it couldn't come at a worse time

Artist: Hip Tragically

(Music Song Lyrics):
------------

I can't imagine how you feel and this is how you feel
you say your name like your no longer convinced
but now they're strapping you in and closing the lid
and they're dropping you in what's done you did
The bell's picking up speed there's water leaking in
that ol' equilibrium just starts to spin and spin
Do you like to be judged or liked
Do you like it inside a barrel
plunging over the falls
Curious and grim we wrestle at the rim
we wonder all about him and the point of it all

I'll be short and brief
and to the point
the fighting has resumed
In that tone of voice
the plague is exhumed
He said "what I'm going through
is essentially all true
made no less amazing
by the fact that it's see-through"
You like to be judged or liked
And you like it inside a barrel
plunging over the falls
Strong and green and dim it wrestled him like nuthin
out out out
and into the thrill of em all

And the real wonder of the world is that we don't jump too

Hip Tragically - Everytime You Go

Artist: Hip Tragically
Music Album: Up To Here
(Music Song Lyrics):
like anyone I knew a dave
drove a Plymouth shallow grave
said, "my girl don't just walk, she unfurls"
with motorcycle language
he stumbled through his slang pledge
then he dragged the mud for wedding pearls

chorus
he closed both his eyes and sort of gave her a kiss
said "don't worry baby about what you're gonna miss
there will always be a much much more than this
everytime you go, you are all I see
holding out for you and me

pulled down his birthday suitcase
brown with dust from no place
said, "I think its time we made a start"
they danced the waltz of charity
no car garage, two kids for free
they were pissing bliss and playing parts

chorus
she closed both her eyes, sorta gave him a kiss...

and the big snake pit
and we dance to the edge of it
and we laugh and we laugh
cause we ain't seen the edge of it

everytime you go, you are all I see
holding out for you and me
everytime you go, you are all I see
holding out for you and me
everytime you go, you are all I see
holding out for you and me
you and me you and me you and me

Hip Tragically - Fireworks

Artist: Hip Tragically
Music Album: Phantom Power
(Music Song Lyrics):
If there's a goal that everyone remembers
It was back in ol '72
We all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger
And all I remember is sitting beside you
You said you didn't give a f-ck about hockey
I never saw someone say that before
You held my hand and we walked home the long way
You were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr

Isn't it amazing anything's accomplished
When the little sensation gets in your way?
Not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
Isn't it amazing you can do anything?

We hung out together every single moment
'Cause that's what we thought married people do
Complete with the grip of artificial chaos
And believin' in the country of me and you
Crisis of faith and crisis in the Kremlin
And yeah we'd heard all that before
It's wintertime the house is solitude with options
And loosening my grip on a fake cold war

Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish
When you don't let the nation get in your way?
Not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
Isn't it amazing, you can do anything?

Next to your comrades in the national fitness program
Caught in some eternal flexed arm hang
Dropping to the mat in a fit of laughter
Showing no patience tolerance or restraint

Fireworks exploding in the distance
Temporary towers soar
Fireworkds emulatin' heaven
Till there are no stars anymore
Fireworks aimin' straight at heaven
Temporary towers soar
Till there are no stars shinin' up in heaven
Till there are no stars anymore

Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish
When the little sensation gets in your way?
No ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish, eh?

This one thing probably never goes away
I think that this one thing is probably supposed to stay
This one thing doesn't have to go away

Hip Tragically - Fight

Artist: Hip Tragically
Music Album: Road Apples
(Music Song Lyrics):
We wake up different, rifle through our dreams
Another placid day, ripples at the seams

Do you think I bow out cause I think you're right?
Or cause I don't wanna fight?
So tangle-minded then so becalmed
It's all so subway-grim and then it's gone

Do you think I bow out cause I think you're right?
Or cause I don't wanna fight?
We get so weary, taking fish off hooks
It's not as effortless as it may look

Do you think I bow out cause I think you're right?
Or cause I don't wanna fight?
We lay down seething, smell our pillows burn
And drift off to the place where you'd think we'd learn

Do you think I bow out cause I think you're right?
Or cause I don't wanna fight?
I said, "I give

Hip Tragically - Fifty Mission Cap

Artist: Hip Tragically

(Music Song Lyrics):
Bill Barilko disappeared that summer,
he was on a fishing trip.
The last goal he ever scored
won the Leafs the cup
They didn't win another until 1962,
the year he was discovered.
I stole this from a hockey card,
I keep tucked up under
my fifty mission cap, I worked it in
to look like that
