Obscure lyric for the week of May 18/09

Hello out there it's Victoria day. Monday and it's a holiday here in Ontario, the one and only time I appreciate the queen. I hope that you are having a great day away from the grind and are enjoying family, friends and some good food.

We took this weekend as an opportunity to rest and rejuvenate after an already busy early spring. Looks like the weather for the following week will be nice so get out there and enjoy some sunshine. A bit chilly over night here, but that's early spring.

I chose this weeks song after I heard it on the radio while travelling to one of my many appointments last week. I love this band, they have been one of my favourites since high school and although the membership has changed somewhat, their sound, style and stage presence is beyond compare. This is an interesting song from their fourth album and this song is often forgotten behind the more grandiose songs/pieces of music. If I recall correctly, apparently the song is about a former agent.

You've never had a heart of your own

Kill joy, bad guy, big talking small fry

you're just an old barrow boy

have you found a new toy

to replace me

I would like to know the following:

The name of the band:

The name of the song:

The writer:

The basis for the album name title:

Have a great week, enjoy the sunshine and the continual outbursts of spring.
