Here Come The Geese Lyrics

Look up in the sky, they said on the radio station.

They're up quite high, flying in a V formation.

Here come the geese!
Here come the geese!

Now they're on the lawns, the patios and ponds, on the sidewalks, on the rooftops, on the hillside, on the playground slide, in the shadows, the parking lots, the meadows, the fences and ledges, benches and hedges, in the schoolyard, on the boulevard, in the high school halls, in the shopping malls.

Watch under your feet, they said in the radio station.

Here come the geese!

Flying in a V formation.

This is such a beautiful little song.

When I want to amuse myself, I like to think of the (Canadian) geese as being metaphorical for Canadians in general. Maybe Canadian musicians particularly (the radio station references).

In other words, maybe the song's about a Canadian music invasion of some sort. :D

Or maybe not.

But it makes me laugh to think of Kevin writing a secretly subversive song.
