Groundhog Gale 76 by The Backstays Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One two punch and I'm out like a light
A strange familiar sight, I'm bleeding
But I could not say chased down the backstreet by the bay
In an empty foggy haze, I'm leaving

[Turn]

[Verse 2]
And a shipyard shuts down, scares us all to hell
As the union breaks down, people flee the town
As we stand face in hand, at the bottom in our place
Some kind of strange race

[Chorus 1]
And the wind blows just off the bay
There's a port filled with potash and other things we never say
And the wind blows just like the gale
And the winter comes like '76 to no avail

[Turn]
[Verse 3]
We start up the car, head through the prairies so far
The time and empty space, we are just thinking
I'm thinking back local 273, the first got us on our feet
If only

[Chorus 1]
And the wind blows just off the bay
There's a port filled with potash and other things we never say
And the wind blows just like the gale
And the winter comes like '76 to no avail

[Interlude]

[Chorus 2]
And so we all go march down the foot of king
Watch out now boss it's coming October 14th
When the wind blew fierce like the gale
And the winter's coming like '76, one hammer to a nail
