Lyrics
Dad gets to talkin' about that convention
The one he attended in '73
Mom still remembers but she doesn't mention
At times they agree to just disagree
Rollerblade heroes streak 'round the circle
Shadows out dancing in the twilight
And my heart is achin' my shoes are too tight
And I don't know a soul in Toronto tonight
There's a great double feature of Bringing Up Baby
And How Green Was My Valley down at The Revue
They've not much in common but then again maybe
Neither have I with a boy that I knew
And a thousand excuses have made my acquaintance
And given me reasons for each compromise
And my heart is achin' my shoes are too tight
And I don't know a soul in Toronto tonight
O that night bus is comin'
O to take me 'cross town
Where those guitars keep strummin'
The one sad tune that won't bring me
down
The one sad tune that won?t bring me down
Carol got married and moved out of town
Gregory got sick and he died
But me and the others we're still around
Hardened and chastened broken and tried
There is no umbrella to hold off the rain
Falling from so great a height
And my heart is achin' my shoes are too tight
And I don't know a soul in Toronto tonight
Yes my heart is achin' my shoes are too tight
And I don't know a soul in Toronto tonight
