I think Canada is the best unreleased and potential-new-album song so far. Moreso than No Lullaby, too.

I tried listening to the 3-16-2008 show, which was amazing in quality and performance, and I notice some differences in word use and even a whole section is missing from other recordings. But based on that show, I think I've gotten it.

So, correct me and let's try to get it complete, eh?

Canada

hindsight's given me
too much memory
there's too much never seen
it's always there, it's everywhere

taking my own advice
worked out for me nice
now I come to find
the tricks we play with human brains

they don't want to think about the other side
is that grass just greener 'cause it's fake?

because that's all that we've been told
since we were 5 years old
is that how your garden grows?

hindsight bring me down
it keeps me on the ground
and though I'm never proud
I wouldn't dare, if you weren't there

the thing with setting up
feels like not enough
feels like moving up
you eat a crumb and waste a love

they don't want to talk about the other side
'cause that grass was greener than they said
because this doesn't bring to mind
what I expect to find
they must be color blind

what about canada?
what about canada?
it's paradise, of pines and ice
morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping
that in two ideas was no suprise.

Well wait 'till the while has rised
you're never outdoors at night
kiss all those wars goodbye.

Such a great song.
