An Inch An Hour Lyrics by The Tragically Hip

An Inch An Hour Lyrics

    I want a book that'll make me drunk
    full of freaks and disenfranchised punks.
    No amount of hate no load of junk
    no bag or words no costume trunk
    could make me feel the same way
    an inch an hour two feet a day
    to move through night
    in this most fashionable way.

    There's this fuckin band you gotta see
    they used to scare the living shit outta me.
    No frothing dog no cool insanity
    no "rock n' roll" no christianity
    makes me feel the same way
    an inch an hour two feet a day
    to move through night
    with very little else to say
    but I'm helpless less with the people
    than the space

    No struggletown no bemused Trudeau
    no solitary walks through vacant lots
    in moonglow

    Tonight the winter may have missed its mark
    you can see your breath in Springside Park
    coffee-coloured ice and peeling birch bark the
    sound of rushing water in the dark
    makes me feel the same way
    an inch an hour two feet a day
    to move through life
    with very little else to say
    but I'm helpless more with the people
    than the space
    I mean I'm helpless less with the people
    than the space

    You see, I don't know Neil
    I Don't know Neil
