Cover art for Cordelia lyrics by Tragically Hip, The

This is one of my favourite Hip songs that is NOT a single. I hate always hearing the first two songs from Road Apples (Little Bones, Twist My Arm) at bars and on the radio, but never hearing this one. The fact that Macbeth is refered to in the lyrics is a great indicator that Gord is in fact referring to Cordelia, the daughter of Shakespear's King Lear.
