| The Weakerthans – Exiles Among You Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I have had the 'Left and Leaving' CD for many years and have always loved the 'Exiles among you' track. I personally feel that this song is about a girl who has run away from home to obtain the independence she craves from her parents. Part of her still wishes that she was back home where she was secure and safe from harm but her pride prevents her from admitting that. As a father of two girls now living away, I can relate to this story line and I get a lump in my throat every time during the passage where 'she sits on the sidewalk biting her bottom lip'. Great song, great lyrics by a great band. | |
