High

"Take aim at his heart now!" he yelled. "And shoot for the head!" shouted back his armed colleague. But with tears in the formers' eyes, he knew he had already lost the fight. The longer he wore on in the battle with his foe, the greater his uncertainty. 
This song is about a mercenary remembering an encounter with a fellow mercenary. They were both after the same target and the first, unarmed mercenary was forced to kill his armed colleague with a car.
Listening to the story of the song, one may get the sense that betrayal and regret are central themes; however, they are only one of the many threads unfurled in the song. Violence and mercy are more central, especially within the mind's eye of the protagonist re-living what had occurred on one fateful day.
A violent mind may not breed mercy, but mercy will never hold a place (or a candle, if you will) in the minds of those whose idea of violence is not honourable and just -- in a moral sense, of course. Moral compasses change direction from person to person, from time to time, and from situation to situation. They can even, sometimes, point to one's own fate -- mercifully or not.

LYRICS:
Somebody once told me
In a ripped-up rage
Had eyes like a monster, and it came
Like the wind against my head.
So Drive Like You Stole It
With nothing to say
Eyes runnin' like water, to this day
I could not relate.

Hearing slowed-down sounds
Of an engine roaring,
Wheels rollin' to a cliff's end
And shot out in escape.
So it seemed
Was a blow to my youth.

Somebody once told me
In a ripped-up rage
Had eyes like a monster, and it came
Like the wind against my head.
So Drive Like You Stole It
With nothing to say
Eyes runnin' like water, to this day
I could not relate.

Seeing moving parts
As it comes upon him,
Devoted locomotion
To bring about elimination.
What I've seen
I have created.

Somebody once told me
In a ripped-up rage
Had eyes like a monster, and it came
Like the wind against my head.
So Drive Like You Stole It
With nothing to say
Eyes runnin' like water, to this day
I could not relate.

Take aim at his heart now
And shoot for the head
A backstabber grieving his existence,
So tortured.
Hold up a candle
In a darkened cave
Canot fix what cannot be seen:
I refuse to replay.

Like You Stole It

You could be my sun (Tascam version)

Gazing gloriously, a small patch of sunflowers watch, from their dated, striated wooden garden box located in the town square, as the community's fabric loosens and tightens. As another generation follows the cycle, erosions of time reveal apparitions of yesteryear, emerging not only in supernaturalistic form.

LYRICS:
Well hello!
How's starting out?
We've seared
Another lowly ground.
My head 
Is spinning 'round.
Out here
I'm coming down.

Telling tales,
Swinging by,
Showing up here
No reason why.
Sunflower eyes
A pretty gaze,
Tilted towards 
The gilded stage.

Well...
How've you started out?
Here in 
This timeless town.
Criss-cross
We're soundly ground.
Striated
In another time.

Selling fables
Swinging high,
Showing up here
Rather fly.
Sunflower eyes
A pretty gaze,
Guilted as
We've truly changed.

Man you swear it was better
As a kid.
So bold off on
One's own.
Getting to know you're safe
Outside alone,
In this town
Under the dovetail.
Momentum!
Brings the fall...
Day in and out!
Trying not to win...
Rush the swings,
Old and grey.
Wish apparition
Shares the lead!

Rode to the fairytale castle

Rode To The Fairytale Castle

Lyrics:

Said 
"Get in line and don't be different
Getting high is no position
Tell me why you won't be more like them"

I can't get it right cause I won't listen
Seven times around I missed it
Get in for a ride and I'm alright
I'm alright

Protocol by Gordon Lightfoot...This song has always made me appreciate
Bravery as a human quality, good over evil, etc....  The Lyrics are pure Pathos...Its is a very rare tune and should be more well known.  It is my all time favorite Gordon Lightfoot song that I remember from when I was a teenager.
