Never Give it Up (Oh Canada) - The Privateers

 

 

 

After the annexation threats by the US government earlier this year along with all of the economic tensions that have come this year, several Canadian artists took to writing music about the current situation. This is a song called "Never Give it Up (Oh Canada") by a small band called the Privateers from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The song is, in their words, a reminder to stick together through whatever challenges come our way.

 

Lyrics:

Spoiler

Verse 1

I went from Manitoba, down to Ottawa

On my way to Moncton, je suis passé à Montréal

I love Prince Edward Island, where it all began

Iqaluit is calling, I′ll be going back again

Chorus

Oh, oh, oh, oh Canada

Oh, oh, oh, oh Canada

Verse 2

On to Nova Scotia, the true land of the free

In St. John's, Newfoundland, they′ve always been so good to me

I went out to Alberta, through Saskatchewan

The land of living skies can't be bought by anyone

Chorus

Oh, oh, oh, oh Canada

Oh, oh, oh, oh Canada

Verse 3

Foothills of the Yukon, beautiful BC

Where mountains meet the ocean with a thousand shades of green

Northwest Territories, crown jewel way up top

We got what they're lookin′ for but we′ll never give it up

Chorus

Oh, oh, oh, oh Canada

Oh, oh, oh, oh Canada

(interlude)

Chorus

Oh, oh, oh, oh Canada

Oh, oh, oh, oh Canada

Yes you can post the Swedish entry and if @Swewi joins before the deadline you can still discuss together and if you need to change your entry before the deadline you can.

If you want to wait also a couple of days before posting that is also fine. Either option is fine

Little hearts

 

Today I feel like a puddle if the anxiety grips me
With the gaze toward the sky, but the morale on the ground
If you neglect me, I go crazy like mayonnaise
I feel bad (bad, bad, bad)

 

I'd like to relax, but today a song lasts as much as a storm
Even if it's really popular
And you threw me away on a random saturday
While you were looking for a modernity boost

 

But you only wanted little hearts, little hearts
You only thought about little hearts, little hearts
Goddamned little hearts, little hearts
That take away the pleasure of doing everything wrong
Then you kill me, then you kill me
Those eyes are two rifles, two rifles
That shoot at little hearts, little hearts
Even under the news "the world collapses"

 

One couch and two phones, it's the love grave
A doctor also told us
Bring a kilo of ice cream and then maybe bring a flower
And at least a kiss, please
And if today my pupils are bigger than my heart, don't judge me
Bad, bad, bad
What should I say? I was talking to you
And you weren't even listening

 

But you only wanted little hearts, little hearts
You only thought about little hearts, little hearts
Goddamned little hearts, little hearts
That take away the pleasure of doing everything wrong
Then you kill me, then you kill me
Those eyes are two rifles, two rifles
That shoot at little hearts, little hearts
Even under the news "the world collapses"

 

But luckily on a random saturday
You took me away from all the modernity

 

But where do you run away without little hearts, little hearts
For the self-esteem little hearts, little hearts
What medicine little hearts, little hearts
But that take away the pleasure of doing everything wrong

 

Then you kill me, then you kill me
Those eyes are two rifles, two rifles
That shoot at little hearts, little hearts
Even under the news the world collapses

Little hearts, little hearts
Little hearts, little hearts

Somewhere far away in a lone man's land
Where no one goes anymore
Except for those who believe

So you think that you're brave enough (haha-ha-ha)
To be one of those, I don't think so
You think you're strong enough (haha-ha-ha)
That's the funniest thing I've heard
So you think you're good enough (haha-ha-ha)
To be one of those, I don't think so
You think you're strong enough (haha-ha-ha)
That's the funniest thing I've heard

If you dare, dare to play
It's a dirty game
You can't reach the high score
Unless you are one who believes
Ohh-oh-whoa

So you think that you're brave enough (haha-ha-ha)
To be one of those, I don't think so
You think you're strong enough (haha-ha-ha)
That's the funniest thing I've heard
So you think you're good enough (haha-ha-ha)
To be one of those, I don't think so
You think you're strong enough (haha-ha-ha)
That's the funniest thing I've heard

That's the funniest thing I've heard
Ohh-oh-whoa

Your word doesn't matter anyway
They called my name
I am not afraid
Doesn't matter what you say
I control my faith
So you think that you're brave enough?

So you think that you're brave enough 
To be one of those, I don't think so
You think you're strong enough (haha-ha-ha)
That's the funniest thing I've heard
So you think you're good enough (haha-ha-ha)
To be one of those, I don't think so
You think you're strong enough (haha-ha-ha)
That's the funniest thing I've heard

That's the funniest thing I've heard
