| Barenaked Ladies – You Will Be Waiting Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| This song is definitely about the 1995 referendum on whether Québec should leave Canada. This album came out the year before, when public discussion was heating up about the province's future. The line "our home and native land" is from Canada's national anthem, which would be a weird line to cite if this was just a love song. Likewise, the lines "now we air our laundry on national TV" and "that effigy you're lighting" show the song's social/political nature. What kind of love song would use that imagery? | |
