I'm not a Canuck.
I missed the bus, yeah, I did it again
That's when I first me the Australian
Poet, angel it was his idea
I take my place in Bohemia
I've got a view nobody's seen
I read Burroughs but I keep it clean
I go places inside my head
With an eye on tomorrow to keep my soul fed
I came here of m own accord
I came to witness the unexplored
Green valleys and a fertile sea
I came to rediscover the real me
I like it here at least so far
I've got no plans of saying au revoir
Elevated visions when I close my eyes
Stretched out underneath these amaranth skies
Make me feel...
Hand on breast.

First:
41. Men Without Hats ? ?The Safety Dance?
Any list celebrating this song sucks.
Second, three Gordon Lightfoot songs in the top 20??? Why didn't they pad it with more Neil Young? Is Neil Young still a Canadian?
No Jane Sibbery? Quel Dommage!
