(Submit New Tragically Hip Lyrics) (Submit New Tragically Hip Lyrics) This song is great | Reviewer: Adam ------ About the song Little Bones performed by Tragically Hip I think they're trying to say "don't choke." People can start out brilliant, but end up becoming obsessed, corrupt or otherwise a mere shadow of their former self. The reference to Shockley - brilliant and intelligent man who won a Nobel prize in physics. However, he lost his mind and starting giving Hitler-esque speeches about the superiority of the white race and became obsessed with eugenics (certain people should be sterilized type thing). One could say that somewhere along the way he choked. The Kennedys... had everything going for them, but have basically ended up dead or disgraced. It's just a great and clever song. bobcaygeon | Reviewer: colin ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip Q: Bobcaygeon is a town in canada can you fill us in on that before we hear the tune? Gord's Answer: " Yeah, small town, lots of stars, you can use any town you want. Bobcaygeon rhymes with constellation. " one star at a time | Reviewer: Rich ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip What resonates for me, and the time in my life when I first heard this song is in the line "I saw the Constellations reveal themselves, one star at a time" all I can think of when I hear it is that patterns in life...the bigger picture... the Contellations... are sometimes made up of so many small things, that you can't necessarily see until you have the perspective of time to see them.. and being in the right place (Bobcaygeon) with the proper clarity... Also makes me think about the nature of Constellations...they aren't anything other than an idea, between human beings, transcending time and space... if you have the eyes to see them, and recognize the patterns in the chaos... I don't know.. I think Gord's a goddamn genius...nuff said I suppose... bobcaygeon | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip The song is about a Mountie that's feeling depressed and smothered in his life and maybe thinking about leaving his job and wife behind, but then during the riots, where he was an officer on duty to keep the peace, during the chaos and violence she was the only thing he could think of, so he sort of had a life-reaffirming moment, "the constellations revealed themselves one star at a time", and went back to her that night instead of leaving town. Burdi | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip It's actually referring to what happened in toronto with george burdi and the Anti-racist action. George and his "neo-nazi/white supremacist" band gave a concert. (hence aryan twang) After his band's concert, George kicked an ARA girl in the face and broke her nose. This led to him being arrested, going to jail and "reforming".

Bobcaygeon is a town where the author finds solace and realization slowly and peacefully ..." one star at a time" In Toronto the Crowne Plaza Hotel has a checkerboard floor and has hosted conferences for Holocost denial groups. I imagine the man they couldn't hang is Zundel an in-famous holocost denialist. Some say the man they couldn't hang is the name of a band in the UK. This is true but I cannot see a connection to Canada or the hip. So when they say "the men they could'nt hang stepped up to the mic", and "voices rang with an Arian twang" I think they are talking about the Crowne Plaza conferences. What is the Hip's relation to Bobcaygeon? | Reviewer: thip ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip what do you think this song is about and why the hell can't i stop listening to it? It reminds me of how one moment can be solidified in your mind forever. Something about leaving this girls house brought him to this revelation of where he is in life, and it happened in Bobcaygen. What's Bobcaygen like? I first heard this leaving a girl's house at a croassraods in my life, that;s why it resonates. I'm going to stop now.

(Not Vague) | Reviewer: Lauren ------ About artist/band Tragically Hip The Tragically Hip is the absolute best band I have ever heard. It is not even competition against the new hits of this century. I've always loved older, richer songs, but when my dad showed me their 1989 album "Up To Here" I literally fell in love with each song. I even performed "New Orleans Is Sinking" infront of a live audience which boosted my confidence. I owe a lot to The Hip, especially my inspiration to write better poems, thanks to "Poets". Each song is lyrically crafted, not just mixed together with a prayer hoping that it is a hit. Their songs are art. Their voices are articulated with such cautious recklessness. Lastly, the instruments are the echo of the band: Spectacular. I cannot believe I spent my first 15 years without them. What An Amazing Song! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Poets performed by Tragically Hip This song has all the great qualities of a hit. The irony is deliciously understandable, and makes the listeners feel inadequate for not coming up with the originality themselves. Like all of The Hip's songs, this one makes it on my playlist and in my daily humming! Rock On! Hip's Bobcaygeon | Reviewer: Cairrai ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip Love the song...I actually live in Bobcaygeon...awesome song Sidney Crosby is a weiner child | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Bastard performed by Tragically Hip i think he shoud be boo'd evrytime hes on teh ice what a boohoo baby he is with an ego biggger than even toronto.. sidney this sindey that maybe he will win the ego medal tahts about it! Hip From Day One | Reviewer: Steve ------ About artist/band Tragically Hip I came across a radio station back in the 80's that played the Hip for the first time and new from then these guys were going to be awesome. I am also amazed that they don't get the hoopla other bands get that aren't so great. The Tragically Hip will be one of those iconic groups that only grow with popularity as time goes on and note some one-hit or one-album wonder.
