A Saturday afternoon, Nneteen seventy-two: You can spell anything And I've got a magic ring And hockey cards in my spokes A casual overdose Of Pop Rocks and phrase mongering But beauty's a delicate thing Out here in the open grass Two tiny iconoclasts Divvy some loot we stole From Old Man Hatfield's store And bury the rest in a hole A mournful November morn Nineteen eighty-four You stutter the words like rain And the steps of cathedral stain With resounding, resigning notes A casual overdose But I didn't come here to grieve And I know you have to leave But Who's gonna save your soul? The Beatles at Hollywood Bowl Or The Revolution Betrayed? Don't act like your mind isn't made I'll believe in you either way A kind of renaissance day Nineteen eighty-eight We're the same in a different way It's the closeness that seperates An awkwardly eloquent toast From a casual overdose Of punk rock and Chinatown hum 'Til we both are overcome So we join our trembling hands And clap for The Weakerthans And Drink to our personal lore Though we don't make love anymore We still share euphoria
