SOTD #42
Today’s song is Straw Hat And Dirty Old Hank by The Barenaked Ladies
You cried a tear, I wiped it dry
I put you up upon a pedestal so high
If you should waiver, if you should sway
I’d catch you, spread my tiny wings and fly away.
You signed your picture with an o and x
I bet you don’t write love each time you sign your cheques.
I’m the farmer.
I work in the fields all day.
Don’t mean to alarm her,
But I know it was meant to be this way.
Canadians, eh? Barenaked Ladies are one of those type of bands that I love - excellent musically, and just a little bit odd lyrically. It’s a mix that makes pretty much all of their songs a surprise; they never go quite where you think they’re going to.
