The Great Blake Street Canoe Race

Taken from "Self-Inflicted Aerial Nostalgia" 1989

"Jumping around
Thinking about our daily lives
Here on the ground
Falling apart before our eyes
News is not news
Learn something old every day
Issues repressed
Morning's we fake our minds away

Chorus: Oh please don't misuse this information now
Oh try not to swallow too much pain, it's only order

Rushing through time
Following footsteps out of here
Signals ahead
Better repay your debts this year
I guess I'll go
On with my sad and troubled ways
Hands on my hips
Questioning each and every face
Chorus"

What was the Great Blake Street Canoe Race? Sounds like a fun event to see. This is classic early sounding Guided By Voices but that odd follow production sound but a good song and the early sounds of the Indie Rock Monster that GBV was to become. Nice song.
