Antigonish Song Lyrics

Hey boy you talk too loud
Go out and make your mother proud
I got my hat and red light waiting
To the car and I'm not playing
Rock n' roll you've been misleading
Sure you're right but i'm not leaving
I'm gettin bored with pepper spray

Hey you, you only love me when i'm down
Fuck me, play yourself we'll mess around
On you, gazebo life you got me down
My pool, swim in this place and you'll drown

The only night that i can't have fun
I get a boner with my gun
Drunk kids you really bug me
Four hundred dollar reef well it might be

Loud show - shit waitin to happen
Write a letter, complain to the casket
Read through my town, my town is best
'Michael Hemens, you're under arrest!!'

Hey you, you only love me when i'm down
Fuck me, play yourself we'll mess around
On you, gazebo life you got me down
My pool, swim in this place and you'll drown

Hey boy you talk too loud
Go out and make your mother proud
I got my hat and red light waiting
To the car and I like playing
Rock n' roll you've been misleading

Hey you, you only love me when i'm down
Fuck me, play yourself we'll mess around
On you, gazebo life you got me down
My pool, swim in this place and you'll drown
swim in this place and you'll drown
swim in this place and you'll drown
Yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Antigonish Song lyrics by Trews, The

by macchimo

Anyone who's lived in Antigonish knows of the gazebo in the center of town right next to the bank. I didn't live there long enough to go out late at night, but I think this refers to kids getting drunk and rowdy and then acting all tough. I believe the lyrics are a sort of satire on the young gangsta/punk's life. I like this song because it scares me, thinking of all the kids who brag about their guns and their pepper spray.

Loud show - shit waitin to happen Write a letter, complain to the casket

The Casket is the local paper in Antigonish county, so this is obviously in reference to writing a letter to the editor.

I wish I knew what the Michael Hemens line was about. Can anyone shed any light on that?
