Great song. But I've always wondered. He pronounced Detroit as Detroy-it. Is that a Canadian thing?

Holy FUK. This is one of the greatest songs ever. I thought I was the only one with brains and balls enough to recognize it. Thank you Oblongo. You are the man. Such a sad, haunting song. Top 10 in American history for sure.
Here comes ProWEler in 3... 2... 1... how nojuan should care about that because nojuan from his tribe ever carried iron ore across the great lakes and nojuan gives a flying FUK about him cooking beer cans and old shoes on his 50 year old grill that can't be updated because nojuan in his family or that he knows has EL DINERO to update that pedazo de MIERDA...

To rhyme properly. There's only so many words in the Irish dictionary as you can see from any Homeslice post and that's coming from a beaner who learned English second hand.
All Canadians talk and sing funny. If you need more proof just listen to The Tragically Hip, Wolf Parade, or any other Canadian band.
I happen to like both The Hip and Wolf Parade, but I absolutely understand why other people don't.

Here's a story song I like.
Although Al Stewart does sound a little like a faggot in retrospect.
@touch might be familiar with the subject matter, though he may differ with some of the conclusions.
At any rate...

According to many canadians, Snow is one of the hardest rappers to ever come out of canada. I heard he once stole a bunch of napkins from a Tim Horton's.
I like this song
It's almost as good as the greatest Irish ballad of all time:

False.
The Sheepdogs are fucking awesome.
This was about heroin?
I thought it was like a "leave the back door unlocked so I can sneak in and you can lip-grip my cawk" kind of song.
I always assumed the greatest heroin song was "Needle & the Damage Done" by Neil Young - also a Canadian.
He was a struggling junkie and the song is about a chick that keeps getting him to slip when he's trying to get clean, plus lots of metaphors about dope.
Thats what I've always understood. I could be wrong.
Yall forgot the one that goes, it's just that demon life that gots you in its sway...and don't forget my homegirl Mazzy Starr.
"Sometimes I think it's a shame when I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain" that's a huge tell. It would make sense it was about sex if he was a woman and felt empty after random sex but men don't get that way. Dopers do when coming down.
