Tragically Hip, The - Little Bones Lyrics

Really bugs me to see some douchenozzle monetizing these songs for himself, taking money away from the artists who did the work.

Dont think Gord would've gave a shit

Canada is forever Tragically Hip

Fk me yeah

Gods speed. To you gord . I seen them at bar in T.O. was hooked after that.

This song is so weird it took me a long time to figure it out the way the guitar and bass play and the drumbeat isOn the off beats and all of a sudden the back beat starts falling on the two and four. It’s almost like some trickery with the guitar and bass and vocals you get sucked into that in the beginning and then all the sudden it’s like the classic rock drum beat falls into place, when in the beginning the drums are very offbeat. Those fucking Canadians

2 years ago Canada died.

Gord. Your still not and never will be forgotten. Your words. A gift to the world. RIP

F***in A

Ive seen U2, Nervana, Perljam, the Stones, David Bowe and the hip were beter

ive seen them all as well. Different styles .

Best Band Ever. Gord will rest with the angels and be a Canadian icon for ever

A trip to Canada and a headphone fueled with the Hip. Greets from Germany.

ISIS be like:
$2.50 for an eyeball
And a buck a half for an ear

(100% Canadian-sourced)

Wow YouTube deleted me last post, watch it do it again

Fuck YouTube, Trying to get us to do what they want

#CanadaRocksEH

Canada has a fine tradition of producing outstanding artists other than Tragically hip such a Neil Young, KD Lang and the wornderful Cowboy Junkies

This man is a poet

awsome BAND

Just broke a metetarsal. Had hear this song!

I am sorry to hear that the lead singer of the Tragically Hip died in the same year as my father

Matt Supermega has some pretty small bones

Rest in peace Gordon you were great but I will say to you even in death go Sabres let's go Buffalo blow Leafs blow

Still bitchen in 2023⮽⮽

The second best band out of Canada. Rush still wins!

The Hip descript...

best tune !!

Wat you ever done for me? Oh yah just back me up every time I needed it

RIP Gord thank you and the rest of the band for making killer fuckin tunes

i wanna go to this bar where i can get a beer for a buck and a half

I've listened to this song probably 1,000 times, and I never quite get the timing right on the re-entry at 3:10.

Just like the pause at 2:43 during Rush's Xanadu, just try to time that shit right LOL

Awesome song the hip rocks

Gord, buffalo loves you

Saw The HIP many shows in Buffalo NY, Long Live Gordy

Gregg Pfeiffer Buffalo NY🤙!! This song always made happy hour on Chippewa last until 3or4am

@Mr102405 best city in the world Buffalo New York they came from Buffalo Memorial Auditorium all the way to Thursday at the square they loved our great City and I know deep down inside Gordy was a die-hard Sabres fan

Brian Spellburgio I miss going to the Aud with $20 getting a seat in the Orange for $7 and 3 beers and a pretzel with the other $13.
Now $20 gets you half of a peanut shell

My Favourite hip song

Happy birthday Gord. Thanks for everything.

It gets so sticky down here
Better butter your cue finger up
It's the start of another new year
Better call the newspaper up
Two fifty for a hi-ball
And buck and a half for a beer
Happy hour, happy hour
Happy hour is here

The long days of Shockley are gone
So is football Kennedy style
Famous last words taken all wrong
Wind up on the very same pile
Two fifty for a decade
And a buck and a half for a year
Happy hour, happy hour
Happy hour is here

I can cry, beg and whine
To every rebel I find
Just to give me a line
I could use to describe

They'd say, "Baby, eat this chicken slow
It's full of all them little bones"
"Baby, eat this chicken slow
It's full of all them little bones"

So regal and decadent here
Coffin cheaters dance on their graves
Music all it's delicate fear
Is the only thing that don't change
Two fifty for an eyeball
And a buck and a half for an ear
Happy hour, happy hour
Happy hour is here

Well, nothing's dead down here, it's just a little tired
Nothing is dead down here, it's just a little tired
Nothing's dead down here, it's just a little tired
Nothing is dead down here, it's just a little tired

"Baby, eat this chicken slow
It's full of all them little bones"
"Baby, eat this chicken slow
It's full of all them little bones"
Little bones
Full of all them little bones
Little bones

Peter Houle when I’m driving I play this. I seem to a lot faster and I’m smiling

Canada has lost a great storyteller, this may not happen again for many generation

If you are a Canadian and over the age of 25 you know who this is when the song comes on.I am Canadian.

R.I.P Gord god love ya

The one who walks amogst the stars.. nuff said

Much love from buffalo New York we love the hip love being right near the border of Canada/US the hip has more hits than most bands ever dream of writing we love and miss you gord thanks for the music and memories!!

THE FUCKING HIP

The best times I ever had were had while listening to T Hip.

Everybody on here saying the Hip is the "canadian {Insert band}" I will tell you there is NO equivalent. One of the best bands ever formed. Lyrically, musically, socially... any way you cut it up Hip is at the top. The Beatles wished they were HIP.

Yep, no other band comes close. They were perfect in every way. Gordie was a divine genius of the highest order, and will be deeply missed.

​@One Love Rush is another great Canadian band, but them and the Hip are both very different. Hard to compare.

@Jasper Gillgannon I absolutely love Rush too, but for me, Gord kicked the bar up another few notches with his extraordinary lyrics, mesmerizing stage performances and overall super-human awesomeness.

one of my favorite guitar bands of all time.RIP Gord. :(

It gets so sticky down here.      Happy hour is here. Love the Hip

Sounds like a mixture of Midnight Oil, REM and Rolling Stones to me.

Why isn't this song in the top 100 for guitar leads.SMHThe Hip  was so ignored and under rated.Sad.

Better call the news paper up, happy hour is here"Best Canadian band ever!

This Ozzie fiktard is wasteing my time

Whenever someone says what has Canada done for the world I say it produced me weee heee heee

R.I.P. GORD !!!!OUR ANGEL,,HEAVEN MUST ROCK!!

awesome tune for an awesome band !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in U.K. now but grew up in Canada an always introduce this to my English friends..they love it.rip Gordie

Remembering the times at Carlisle park...

$2.50 for an eyball

A buck and a half for an ear

Happier, happier, happier again

If you don't think the Hip are the best Canadian band ever, I will fight you!

I had a chance to go see The Traggically Hip and i didnt go, now i regret it.

He Want Us To Remember Him*

why are there adds here man please fuck off with the adds completely ruined my vibe mannnn

Rip gord 😢

And a buck and a half a beer!!

Whenever someone says what has Canada done for the world I say Canada gave birth to me Irish Canadian

GORD!!!!!

i am so sad about Gord Downy
thank you for the joy you have brought Canadians

my favourite TH album

ahh Gordo.. RIP. thanks for keeping me from losing my mind more than once. you'll always be a hero of mine. love you forever.

I'm so damn sad ......

i was never a big hip fan but i got to admit this song is a great Canadian rock n' roll and I like it. RIP Gord Downie.

RIP Gord. thanks for the music

I saw them on this tour at the Back Room in Austin. I still consider this one of the top 3 shows I have ever seen and I have seen hundreds of live shows. I was fortunate to see them 3 more times in Austin. The death of Gord Downie is a huge loss. It's not just Canada that will miss him. So will Texas.

Saw them in Vancouver BC when I lived in Bellingham Wa.
Sooooooo great!!-✌

The back Room....played there a few times, and saw some incredible bands. "Porcelain Grind" days.

My man! Didn't know Texans were big Hip fans

Traverse City MI will miss him too great front man and band the Hip ROCK!!!

Missed in hilden Nova Scotia big time

Saw them at Art Park ...Lewiston New York......oh yea....Rest Peacefully Grodie...you will never be forgotten..

and again...

RIP Gord

he will be greatly missed. Always loved this album

See you on the other side Gord! Thanks for all you have given us! xo

Hank Snow, Stompin' Tom Connors, Gordon Lightfoot, Anne Murray, Neil young, The Guess Who, SteppenWolf, Rush, ...and now The Tragically Hip. Pretty neat list eh?

you forgot Sarah McLachlan

ugh rush...

Canada's Beatles, Rolling Stones, REM, and Grateful Dead in one band...

i would include The Doors as well.

Good comment!

Hip rules!!!

Killer drum intro. Johnny comes in destroying that skin.

I've loved Canadian rock all the way back to Rush, but the Hip have a sound all their own, don't they? This album and "Up to Here" are their best IMO. Thanks to Youtube I've recently discovered the Trews and One Bad Son as well - GREAT bands!

day for night is pretty awesome too

is this supposed to mean something? also what the hell is football Kennedy style lol

listen or read the lyrics and if you have to ask? wow just wow.... think guys, c'mon.

You can check the meaning of the lyrics on their genius page. Here's the annotation for football kennedy style: https://genius.com/4965753

the Canadian Beatles....

Why compare them? The Hip can hold their own.

The Beatles were never this HIP

Don't get me wrong bud Ayo never Beatles album originals from the 60s when I was a kid these guys blow the f****** Beatles away

Don't get me wrong I love the Beatles I'm a big fan everything McCartney one and all of them did All Through The Years with these guys rock I'm 63 years old and they're still being played in the Buckeye state

Better call the newspaper up, two-fifty
For a hi-ball and a buck and a half
For a beer, happy hour
Happy hour, happy hour is here

love this song,my new fav!!!!! #TheTragicallyHipLivesOn

The Trews played a medley of Tragically Hip tunes in PEI last Saturday night during their set and the crowd went mental, we east coasters sure love The Hip!!!

Wished I was their, must have been fun!

......................Hope We get the Friendship thing Right.....................
