lirik lagu tragically hip - 38 years old
twelve men broke loose in seventy three
from millhaven maximum security
twelve pictures lined up across the front page
seems the mounties had a summertime war to wage
well, the chief told the people they had nothing to fear
said, “the last thing they want to do is hang around here”
they mostly came from towns with long french names
but one of the dozen was a hometown shame
same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall
been one seat empty eighteen years in all
freezing slow time, away from the world
he’s thirty eight years old, never kissed a girl
he’s thirty eight years old, never kissed a girl
we were sitting round the table, heard the telephone ring
father said he tell them if he saw anything
heard the tap on my window in the middle of the night
held back the curtain for my older brother mike
see my sister got raped so a man got killed
local boy went to prison, man’s buried on the hill
folks went back to normal when they closed the case
they still stare at their shoes when they p-ss our place
my mother cried, “the horror has finally ceased”
he whispered, “yeah, for the time being at least”
and over her shoulder on the squad car megaphone
said, “let’s go, michael, son, we’re taking you home”
same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall
been one seat empty eighteen years in all
freezing slow time, away from the world
he’s thirty eight years old, never kissed a girl
he’s thirty eight years old, never kissed a girl
he’s thirty eight years old, never kissed a girl
