Not only is Bruce Cockburn a superb musician , he's also a great lyrics writer right up there with Joni Mitchell and Gordon Lightfoot and no doubt some other Canadian song writers this here americano is ignorant of . I would be grateful for names of other great Canadian songwriters . please any and all replies !
Friend, & brother-in-law, whom isn't a huge fan-moderately so still-with thrills & chills still, & knows music...said to me many moons ago, that felt was probably your most well-constructed song. - Thinkin' about it myself-A HUGE FAN-had to confess think he was at least close to right. ~
Just as there are novels that chronicle or represent the City of Toronto (Margaret Atwood's Cat's Eye), this album does the same, musically and lyrically. At least that's the way I interpreted Inner City Front when it was released. One of the greatest Canadian albums.
Blue billboard on the roof next door Makes a square of light on the kitchen floor Smokes rises from a cigarette There's a dull glisten where the table's wet Soft breath rises from the bed A thousand question marks over my head Turn on the tube but there's nothing new The usual panic in red, white and blue "Military advisors" marching in the square Knife-sharp trouser creases slicing air Private armies on suburban lawns Shoulders braced against the tidal dawn All's quiet on the inner city front I don't know why I should but I feel content Bell in the fire station tower Rings out the measure of the racing hours I slip through the door to the roof outside To gaze at the sign hanging in the sky That sailor on the billboard looks so self-possessed Doesn't have a thing to forgive or forget All's quiet on the inner city front.
Another canadian! Great cd!

Been a fan since my mind-20s, mid-80s. Have moved a bit away from Bruce's leftism, but still appreciate his artistry and him as a believer.

That's so cool! I feel the same way . . . after following BC for over 40 years, I'd have to say this is one of his strongest.

Very nice. I need to pick up this album.
Well worth it!
Blue billboard on the roof next door
Makes a square of light on the kitchen floor
Smokes rises from a cigarette
There's a dull glisten where the table's wet
Soft breath rises from the bed
A thousand question marks over my head
Turn on the tube but there's nothing new
The usual panic in red, white and blue
"Military advisors" marching in the square
Knife-sharp trouser creases slicing air
Private armies on suburban lawns
Shoulders braced against the tidal dawn
All's quiet on the inner city front
I don't know why I should but I feel content
Bell in the fire station tower
Rings out the measure of the racing hours
I slip through the door to the roof outside
To gaze at the sign hanging in the sky
That sailor on the billboard looks so self-possessed
Doesn't have a thing to forgive or forget
All's quiet on the inner city front.
Bruce is, or was, as deep as the pacific ocean .
