...Take me around, dance me outside, show me a place we might hide...

NOOO!!! NOOO!!!!

Why did I not know that Craig Cardiff was opening for The Dears in Ottawa? Craig Cardiff!! The Dears!!

The sad thing is I lmost went. Except I figured that seeing The Dears open twice for Matthew Good was enough for me. I would drive to Montreal on the weekend to see him except that he's playing with Blue Rodeo and the tickets cost $42. Although, Sarah Slean and Hawksley Workman are also playing. Hmmm.

Kris is watching Amelie. Only I'm allowed to like Amelie.

New Craig Cardiff lyrics because I'm sad:

BREAKING THE GIRL
stand down
you don't need to fight to
show how tall you are inside
why don't we
stand down
stand down

you talk
round and round in circles
such that the circles
lead to walking and away
man down man down

and its you
that needs the talking to
and its you
that needs talking
to

you're breaking this girl
almost every time that you
paint all the wrongs and colour them
right

you say
the trouble with wanting
is that the wanting never stops
not for want, but not for filling it up.

Man down,
no one saw it hit
everyone was part of it
you would think
the way that they talked about

Stand down
there's no need to fight
to run the whole thing through
and make it right,
make it turn out right.

and its you
that needs the talking to
and its you
that needs talking to

you're breaking this girl
almost every time that you
paint all the wrongs and colouring them right

you say
the trouble with wanting
is that the wanting never stops
not for want, but not for filling it up.
