A) This song is gorgeous. B) I agree with wackakapow that it seems to be from a musician's viewpoint - resorting to "shaky movements and improvisational skills" makes me think Gord is talking about himself on stage, kind of being self-effacing.

The song title is actually a John Buchan quote. He was gov general in 1935.

Great tune.
