Artist/Band: The Tragically Hip
Lyrics for Song: Fireworks
Lyrics for Album: Yer Favourites/Hipeponymous [2005]



If there's a goal that everyone remembers

It was back in ol '72

We all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger

And all I remember is sitting beside you

You said you didn't give a fuck about hockey

I never saw someone say that before

You held my hand and we walked home the long way

You were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr



Isn't it amazing anything's accomplished

When the little sensation gets in your way?

Not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder

Isn't it amazing you can do anything?



We hung out together every single moment

'Cause that's what we thought married people do

Complete with the grip of artificial chaos

And believin' in the country of me and you

Crisis of faith and crisis in the Kremlin

And yeah we'd heard all that before

It's wintertime the house is solitude with options

And loosening my grip on a fake cold war



Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish

When you don't let the nation get in your way?

Not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder

Isn't it amazing, you can do anything?



Next to your comrades in the national fitness program

Caught in some eternal flexed arm hang

Dropping to the mat in a fit of laughter

Showing no patience tolerance or restraint



Fireworks exploding in the distance

Temporary towers soar

Fireworkds emulatin' heaven

Till there are no stars anymore

Fireworks aimin' straight at heaven

Temporary towers soar

Till there are no stars shinin' up in heaven

Till there are no stars anymore



Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish

When the little sensation gets in your way?

No ambition whisperin' over your shoulder

Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish, eh?



This one thing probably never goes away

I think that this one thing is probably supposed to stay

This one thing doesn't have to go away
