Cover art for Vancouver Divorce lyrics by Gordon Downie

Vancouver Divorce, yet NO POSTS!? I am absolutely IRATE!!!. This is by far my favorite breakup song ever written and GORD DOWNIE IS THE MAN! Okay, so this one time I was at a concert, and I was standing front row, Gord leaned out, and a drop of sweat fell from his chin, I reached out to catch it in my hand, and okay so none of that story was true, Ive never seen the hip live, but I want to.
Okay, back to songmeanings. Oh this one is just so damn obvious, tho. It's obvious that this couple bickered a lot, and gord never really knew what he had til it was gone. She left him, but he wasn't surprised.
You can just feel the damn tension, sitting at Tim Horton's (Canada is filthy with this coffee shop). Very clever lyrics tho "Sitting here at the Horton's, so ya know this is impOOorORrrrrrrrtant" Then at the end, Gord regrets it, he doesn't want her to leave. I don't think he means paintings in the literal sense, like she is an artist, but he loves what she does for him.
THis song just sends freaking SHIVERS oh MAN you have to listen to it.
