Like what he sometimes finds inside her,
Hits so hard it can steal your breath forever
He sometimes wonders
Is the sum of their lives together
Him on the floor and her lost to a mind in tatters
These days he's drinking for the pleasure of falling
And he's falling for the pleasure of pretending
That she's sitting by the window waiting
For him to come calling
If I could fix me up a week of twilight hours
We'd sit on the point
And watch the sun continually flounder
Bathed in gold we'd plug into some kind of power
And connect with those days
Back before all of this went sour
'Cause I'm drinking for the pleasure of falling
And I'm falling for the pleasure of pretending
That you're sitting by the window waiting
For me to come calling
Odd how the darkness always makes us whisper
And with the last of the sun
You can feel the approach of the winter
Now is the time of each day
That I Desperately miss her
I suppose I will learn how to live my life without her
So you're drinking for the pleasure of falling
And you're falling for the pleasure of pretending
That I'm sitting by the window waiting
For you to come calling
You don't know what provincial means. Did you know that?
pwned lol
PSE PSE PSE PSE PSE. Awful band. Bare Naked Ladies were fun, because we all sensed they were from the suburbs, and they were! Scarborough, Ontario!
This one is also from the suburbs. But they learned a few chords, singer got in with her brother who had a band. And they put in a few words about winter, and missing someone. And then we all think they're from Wisconsin!
See, that's the problem with the CJs. If you're from Canada, we don't do the southern thing and ride on the gloriola of fooling folks that you're a southern band. We sing about Canadiana. We like it, Bryan Adams excepted...
You're from Toronto, CJs. Eventually we'll all figure it out, and your references will be boring, specious. We don't all stay in Trono forever and groove to maudlin lyricals. Some of us got out into the world and saw what provincial means. Well Americans probably don't see the insult there. But Provincial is killer in the Great White North.
Anyway -- Love RP, got the mugs and Ts, and and also got my friends to purchase. And I pay monthly. I pay for good value. Why don't you? Including Wikipedia? Pay for what you use.
Pay for your entertainment!

While I probably wouldn't use your choice of words -- probably -- I second your motion.
Never will understand why folks complain, rather than just switch RP streams or go to another music service altogether. (Their complaints also add a lot of wasted space in the comments.)
I appreciate reading the comments of anyone not finding the music to their liking, as long as the comments are respectful and explain the reasoning for not liking. Unlike most of society and social media today we at RP can be tolerant!

Seriously mate, if you love it here so much, you have got to be able to accept that some stuff will get played which isn't to your taste, and you already know that you (or anybody else) whinging will make no difference.
It will still be played and the people who like it will like it and people who don't can always press skip. JUST STOP MOANING, if you no likey, just press skip.
Oh, and you really should get that massive chip off your shoulder.
Hope That Helps.
Well ... that was certainly a much *longer* version of "I hate this band" than usual. So there's that.

Unclehud I just love this kind of music
"no concept of cadence" is one of the weirder ... uh ... criticisms I've seen lobbed at a band.
"Concept of Cadence" sounds like an avant garde, "art rock" band that would've played The Knitting Factory back in the '80s.
Agreed. Except I don't think of her voice as 'sexy'. Perhaps sultry? Bad choice. Sultry rhymes with sexy. -hehe-
Whatever, Margo's voice works really well and is a big part of the appeal of the band.

Why don’t you STFU so the rest of us can enjoy this music

How could I have been so wrong all of these years?

Wait... your church has now gone interstellar? Cool.
Ha ha ha! I am home in my hotel room now, BBoyes... everybody in my hotel room loves this song... it is soooo good for the ears... hope life is grand for you these days... love Radio Paradise...
Just you
Every CJ's song on RP should have at least one picture of Margo Timmins in it's comments page. Thank you calypsus_1 for this one.
You too Bill
It is rumoured that more older Canadian men have a crush on Margo than other public figure. -hehe-
BTW, love the E. Kootenays.
You too Bill
Please pick me up soon, Laz. I've had enough of this place! And hey, I'm easy to get along with (most of the time).

Listen to some of the songs in the Nomad Series. Much more exploratory than the early stuff. Also, Margo Timmons is a lovely person who you can likely meet if you go to a show. She consistently makes an effort to be available to fans after shows to chat and take pictures.
Nope. She doesn't sound excited by her own music, so I find it difficult to be excited by it, too. A woman friend claims this is the sexiest band ever in the history of the Earth, however.
(It takes all kinds to keep the world spinning.)
It's not only you; I think a lot of people feel that way about their music. Different strokes for different folks, though this song is less languid than most of the output I've heard from them. Sometimes she sounds as if she were lying in bed when they were recording.
You take that back! Respect the Toad!!!
Preaching to the choir. I have always felt that way about them.....boooooorrrrrriiiiiinnnnnnggggg.

Everybody in my church loves this song...
Yeah, it is...
This song is marvelous... love this whole album...
Margo Timmins apparently has terrible stage fright. The flowers and mug of tea are apparently her way of coping, but it makes for a stage presence something like a disheveled English teacher.
This would surprise me, if I hadn't seen stage fright with my own eyes, among performers you wouldn't believe.
Most bizarre example I ever saw was Jerry Garcia. Garcia, who played 300 nights a year for 30 years, generally to an audience of seriously devoted fans, still had stage fright all they way up to the last days. When it was time to walk on stage, a (big enough!) crew member walked right behind him. He had a tendency to turn around instead of going onstage, and he had to be prompted... "no Jerry, go this way..." Saw this with my own eyes, and it really helped me come to terms with my own stage fright. Once he crossed that threshold he was fine and fully in his element. But it would appear that he had serious difficulties in taking that step across that threshold. I've never seen this mentioned in any memoir or anything.

I saw them perform a few months ago, and she actually forgot the words to a song, and walked off the stage in mid-song. She came back in a minute but the rest of the set was a bit choppy, I guess her nerves got the better of her.
Her voice is a pleasure though, not to mention the fantastic musicians in the band. Maybe a band better appreciated for their studio work.
Lovely.

Boring.
Different strokes for different folks. Both versions are good, but I enjoy this version because it is livelier.
Agreed. So is all there stuff I've heard on RP............

Nice song. I wouldn't have gotten these lyrics without this posting. Thanks.

Few voices compete with Margo's for *sultriness* - perhaps Christine McVie or Dido or Natalie Merchant?
