Straight from the Hip...

Dear Tragically Hip,

Are you Looking for a Place to Happen? well Escape Is At Hand For The Travellin' Man because It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken and I'll Believe in You if you bring your Family Band to Freddy Beach.

So Save The Planet, it's been a Long Time Running since you've done the Flamenco on the (Fiddler's) Green.
We're not Thugs, we won't be Yawning or snarling when you get here, we may have Fireworks if you Twist My Arm,(I've got Little Bones you see) so we'd be Ahead by a Century if you'd only Bring it All Back.

So call up that Thompson Girl, Cordelia, The Bastard, Gus: The Polar Bear from Central Park and Grace, Too - tell them that you're Locked in the Trunk of a Car, if you have to free up some time, then pull on your Fifty-Mission Cap, jump on a Train Overnight or better yet take a Silver Jet and make Vapour Trails down here to Fredericton, don't worry about Freak Turbulence we're above the Hundredth Meridian.

Fredericton is not a Greasy Jungle so have Courage and don't be Scared we don't have Lake Fever so there is no Inevitability of Death - It Can't Be Nashville Every Night, so why not make it Fredericton tonight, and We'll Go too -
Fully Completely.

So Hard Done By,
Scott
