How about this one for a favorite?
"The Watchman's Gone". It's Gord playing
the instrument he plays best: an acoustic
12-string...great chord changes...references
to getting on a freight train...and I have
a feeling that Gord wouldn't mind, when he
dies, just being placed on one of the hills
around the town he was born in, his face
up towards the sky and "leave me be".
And, of couse the only cuss word I've heard
in one of his songs: bullshit, which I'm
sure he's uttered from time to time.
