| Sunset Rubdown – Apollo and the Buffalo and Anna Anna Anna Oh! Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
we climbed up the cross (?) on the mountain on new year's eve it was just God, the blizzard, the dreamweaver and me my god, i miss the way we used to be so here's a photograph for you to hold it's my picture right before i got old it's a picture of a buffalo that we rode into extinction that was the crime we committed in the night At the recent Vancouver (30/6/09) show Spencer explained some of these lyrics in an interlude. They come from an incident years earlier with two of his friends, Hadji (formerly of Wolf Parade) and Steve Snard (?). One night in Montreal they had been smoking weed and wandering, when they came across a huge landmark cross. The three of them decided to climb it (god, the blizzard, the dreamweaver & me), setting off alarms in the process (the "crime"). I'm pretty sure he said this happened on a Christmas eve although the song references new years'. |

I'm pretty sure it's "So cut the ball to which we're tethered", not "Soak up the ball..." |
