Montreal (Live)

[Verse 1]
Montreal, road side flares, third floor walk up in your underwear
Framed just like a painting hung, the sadness grew and then it dulled the love
Screw-top wine and cigarette kissed, oh you've gone down for less than this
Whole town weighed half a tonne, so tired of talking yourself down

[Chorus]
All the friends flew back
Mm, to pay respects
Christmas time Montreal
All friends flew back

[Verse 2]
Hands and lips, and teeth and tongues, split on the tip and smoke on the lungs
Letters thinned, callbacks too, didn’t make any sense to make due

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
And the papers they will read December 1993
Old guitar case singalongs, you and me
And late night CBC, jazz music dance slowly
Car lights paint the walls white and erase you and me

[Chorus]
Oh, and all the friends flew back
Mm, to pay respects
Christmas time Montreal
All friends flew back

Oh, the friends flew back
Mm, to pay respects
Christmas time Montreal
All friends flew back

[Ending]
