Artist: The Tragically Hip
Track: Ahead By A Century

Lyrics
First thing we'd climb a tree
And maybe then we'd talk
Or sit silently
And listen to our thoughts
With illusions of someday
Cast in a golden light
No dress rehearsal
This is our life

And that's where the hornet stung me
And I had a feverish dream
With revenge and doubt
Tonight, we smoke them out

You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century

Stare in the morning shroud
And then the day began
I tilted your cloud
You tilted my hand
Rain falls in real time
And rain fell through the night
No dress rehearsal, this is our life

But that's when the hornet stung me
And I had a serious dream
With revenge and doubt
Tonight, we smoked them out

You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century

You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
And disappointing you is gettin' me down

	I wrote unfriendly things, truly cruel / On the day that you were born / To prove that words cannot touch beauty / But I was torn / I put it off, I put it off, I put it off again
	The Tragically Hip – The New Maybe
	You could write, you could think, you could have sex / You could leave your jewellery in a bowl beside the bed / Stare out the window, down the lawn to the lake / For as long as it
