Late 90's Canadian rock was dark in a way, but not depressing... Matthew Good Band, Barstool Prophets, Watchmen, Big Wreck all had that feeling to them... best era of music in my opinion.
You can almost guess what songs a band does will appear on a "Best of..." album. when I heard this song, before I even knew there was one, I thought this would appear on a "Best of Watchmen" album. Great band - my band covers a few of their songs. They're real hits at shows ^__^
The lines go... "Look at the pictures you've gotten Like signals from oncoming cars We're covered in a cake from the last time I know it sounds weird, we collect it in jars Is that just the place that I wanna be?""
@jayson4636 It's about being "we're covered in cake from the last time" ... ever heard of wearing cake on you face? The idea of a relationship being so on and off again that they "collect it in jars." fit the cadence my ass. It's called poetic expression in lyrics.
Sorry, Jayson4636 is wrong. " I know it sounds weird, we collect it in jars." That's the line....learn it......love it. FYI lyrics don't have to make sense to anyone but the songwriter. Even then sometimes they don't. Ask Mr. Plant what the Stairway to Heaven lyrics mean. Even he doesn't know....
@jayson4636 i like when someone has to get staightened out a lil, i mean if ur gonna go off about something at least be right... good lookin out and nice correction dude..

One of the most important bands in Canadian rock history...period.
love this song. When I was 15 I listened to this song a lot driving to BC from NF, now I'm going to drive back and this is going in the car!!
One of the best songs ever written
One of my favourite songs of all time
Can't believe people take the time to critique the lyrics. The song moves you or it doesn't. Great band, great tune. That is all
this song brings back memories from the 90's.
I've been in love with this song for 16 years now
I Mother Earth and Headstones and Gandharvas and soo many others too... I really miss that music...
These guys played during Frosh Week at UWO in London....almost every year I was at University! love 'em!
best winnipeg band ever!!!!
Wow I couldn't remember the name of this song until now! Absolutely awesommmmme....... Thank you to whoever posted this :)
Back together for a few shows.Perfect.I'll be at the commodore ballroom for this show.One of my favourite Canadian bands from the 90's.
Goosebumps

this song is solid. It's a pity they aren't together anymore.
I still wonder how I came across this song. I still listen to it like every month though. haha, for some reason its nostalgic
winnipeg for life.
"We're covered and caked from the last time,
I know it sounds weird,we collect it in jars".......

I always thought he said, "we're cover in cake from the last time" as in the tradition of pushing the wedding cake into each others faces.
Go 90s!
