no one stamps on a burning bag of shit anymore!!! i love this song. Gord you rule!!!

[dutchess1999]

Hey he made a reference to the hundredth meridian (everyday were dumping a body). Nice to hear the creative juices flowing.

[noskcireeiznekem]

@dutchess1999 that would be Locked In The Trunk Of A Car. He had the ideas for the songs long before the completed masterpieces. There is a live recording of New Orleans Is Sinking with Ahead By A Century in the middle of it.

[BonesPwns]

this is a rare (live only recording) song and is the best story that The Hip have ever told.

[thenameisbond]

@BonesPwns The ending is hilarious too.

[Minhist]

Where can I find this song?

[thenameisbond]

@Minhist Right here.

[hempychic71]

@Minhist the CD is called Tragically Hip this exact CD Cover

[thenameisbond]

@hempychic71 The "Highway Girl" track is on the CD shown, but the live version here is not on any CD that I know about.

[umdesch4]

@Minhist I have this on a bootleg CD called "Roxy and Elsewhere", and it's definitely from a lossless source, but I have no idea where to get it. (Mine is a burned CD-R copy)

[Chancie4Life]

[BriannaRae1102]

I had a beautiful apartment, well, actually it was a lousy apartment but im very handy with my hands

[sjonesi41]

gord is a genius

[440vanman]

play it louder

[radiofan6872]

I love Gord's rants. One of the more interesting things about this rant is that the lines about dumping the body became "Locked In The Trunk of a Car".

Plus, the line "I read too much. I thought we should kill ourselves. She doesn't read a thing. She believed me." is BRILLIANT.

[thenameisbond]

@radiofan6872 Yep.  This particular one is a classic and my personal fave.

[BriannaRae1102]

@radiofan6872 "Are you really the messiah? Yes I am" also brilliant

[MrCocklips]
