about

"Little Bones" by THE TRAGICALLY HIP - Cover song performed by POOR AS FLIES. British bass player Guy Fowler and friends discovered an obscure rock album called "Road Apples" back in the 90´s by a Canadian band called the Tracially Hip and fell in love with the first track they heard: Little Bones. Singer and guitarist Claude Robillard from Canada knows every lyric and every song the Tracially Hip have ever produced and was amazed that Guy had discovered this band on his own, almost unknown outside of Canada. Spanish drummer Ruben Bermudez had no idea what either of these two guys were getting all excited about, shrugged his shoulders, and started playing his drums to the groove. This song just HAD to be on the album.

lyrics

It gets so sticky down here
Better butter your cue-finger up
It's the start of another new year
Better call the newspaper up
Two-fifty for a hi-ball, and a buck and a half for a beer
Happy hour, Happy hour, happy hour is here

The long days of Shockley are gone
So is football Kennedy style
Famous last words taken all wrong
Wind up on the very same pile
Two-fifty for a decade, and a buck and half for a year
Happy hour, Happy hour, happy hour is here
[bridge]

I can cry, beg and whine to every rebel I find
Just to give me a line I could use to describe

They'd say, baby, eat this chicken slow
It's full of all them little bones
Baby, eat this chicken slow
It's full of all them little bones

So regal and decadent here
Coffin-cheaters dance on their graves
Music all its delicate fear
Is the only thing that don't change
Two-fifty for an eyeball, and a buck and a half for an ear
Happy hour, Happy hour, happy hour is here

Nothing's dead down here Just a little tired they'd say
Nothing's dead down here It's just a little tired
Nothing's dead down here Just a little tired
Nothing's dead down here It's just a little tired

Baby, eat this chicken slow
It's full of all them little bones
Baby, eat this chicken slow
It's full of all them little bones, little bones
