Intro 01:13

Torontonians 05:23
I’m disguised as human I’m glamorized, I’m appetizing and I Exercise my freedoms by wasting away The seconds in the day I’m immobilized by a crippling fear Of locking eyes with the passerbys I’m a walking game of ocular chicken Where the loser’s a winner and the winner’s a chicken and I’m succumbing to decay It’s a romanticized delay One thing I know for certain As pure as the lakes, and as clear as a curtain I see the worst in everyone I’m from the cynical mimic generation It’s a fabricated life Of mechanized defenses and Mercedes Benzes And fears of growing old Of dying alone in the frigid cold and I’m succumbing to decay It’s a romanticized delay And I wake up to the same day tomorrow, and I hide my sorrow as I bide my borrowed time.

Volcano 05:31
There's a crater on the moon in a Lunar mount surrounded by dunes Dormant for a thousand years Empty, flooded by weightless fears There was a girl who wandered by Who saw a lacking in the mountain's eye And so she sauntered up the mountainside Without a thought she hurled herself inside Ignitions gurgled underground Molten fluid formed, made it's way down the mound gravity defied, it pushed off the lunar face And diffused into outer space The Lava broadcast past the stars, Spewing from the crater's reservoir, Increased in volume and irreversible Wasn't long before the universe full. V-o-l-c-a-n-oh yeah.

Better Off 04:45
The sky isn’t falling But the clouds have gained weight Not that they’ve ever dropped before We’ll just assume that’s their fate We can all stay intact and bury the light and inherit the ashes of the oncoming night And doom is a trope While malaise a mope I posit we’ve got less to fear From tomorrow than by former years We can all stay intact and bury the light and inherit the ashes of the oncoming night When the sky turns to gray and when the sun dims away When the mounts erupt and the ground’s corrupt You’ll be glad it fell through

Higher Love 04:02
Bring me a Higher Love

Bigfoot 04:59
We buy possum guts, We buy gorilla suits
7.
I’m fairly sure there ain’t no cure for my banality Take my word that it’s absurd: My mentality But I’m breaking it away It’s implied: to be derived of depth and substance While criticizing, we're idealizing this vapid romance But I’m breaking it away Being sardonic, it’s so ironic, preserving weakness We can’t ignore where we wanted more there’s only bleakness But I’m breaking it away
8.
Underfoot 06:11
Your skin is thinner than The ice beneath my feet And I’m cracking right through both This fire’s obsolete In time You’ll realize The weight of what we idealize Inevitable I know And so it goes We’re all old Buried, cold Oversold There’s not a soul on this orb Who’s less eject than absorb Who’s more direct than abstract Who sees the whole beaten path We’re all old Buried, cold Oversold Your skin is thinner than The ice beneath my feet And I’m cracking right through both This fire’s obsolete
9.
Jessie is a friend He’s always been a good friend of mine Lately something’s changed and it ain’t hard to define Jessie’s got himself a girl and I wanna make her mine I play along with the charade There doesn’t seem to be a reason to change You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably mute And he’s watching her with those eyes And he’s loving her with that body, I just know it And he’s holding her in his arms late late at night I wish I had Jessie's Girl

Glass 05:49
I'm a pair of broken blackened glasses Guarding dull eyes, darkened deadened sight I peer you up and down in shattered view refracted pictures in each shard pure I'm a bottle, filled with milk past due Pristine contour, but contents curdled through I says to you don't pour me out, please listen first knock me back, I'll satisfy your thirst I could melt down and then solidify Be your container, you'll be my lye Erode me down and eat me away When I'm gone you'll be liquid castaway I'm a window ten feet from the floor Unsupported, just a window, nothing more Inside the glasses and bottle made a home While the window kept the sunlight for his own

And he goes burling down, and down the white water That’s how the log driver learns to step lightly

Humility’s an irrational virtue Humility’s an irrational virtue Sha na na Humility’s an irrational virtue Humility’s an irrational virtue Sha na na I don’t support your mediocrity I don’t support your mediocrity The Meek ain’t gonna Inherit nothing The Meek ain’t gonna Inherit nothing Sha na na My kids ain’t gonna inherit nothing My kids ain’t gonna inherit nothing Sha na na I don’t support your mediocrity I don’t support your mediocrity

about

Fine Canadian Forces Toronto, Ontario

Fine Canadian Forces is a loop-pedal specialist making music rooted in Rock/Pop, but adding influences ranging from Classical to Modern Jazz to Prog Rock, Grunge and more.
