-Hey dude, tell me what’s up with you? Nothing to write home about, it’s sad but true / I know I haven’t called either in a while / but I got a couple of songs that you’d probably like / You know I had an awful lot to do / but I wouldn’t be caught dead wasting my whole life too / This time I won’t be gutless and tell my girl : Baby, I’ll be home in few days when Alie’s back on track And I say yeah-eah / I don't want to get on my knees once again / Hey-hey And I don't quite remember why I'm sorry my darling / Yeah-eah this is just an ancient song long forgotten / Yeah-eah And I finally realize that's what I am. I’m fed up with this ugly road / It’s getting longer every time I make it home /And Verdun lost its poetry /Since you moved back to Qc city / Once in a blue moon we can all be there / Just another crazy night / with the sick dudes in town /GLT let’s make history/ Real great cities are where your friends should be. We killed the scene and saved the best Qc city (Chérie) get it off your chest !!!

3-9-0-0 Evelyn-Hickson, the place I used to call my second home / A couch where I could rest all day / Good friends, good hearts, music… I wish I could stay / For sure it was the greatest place in town/ And I was told it was the prettiest city ever / I liked the way pollution in the air stained our skins, so pale, so clean. Here come the hookers, the drunks, and the freaks / 14 y-o mothers walking down the street Their courage made me strong while I felt so weak /My heart broke 10 times walking down Wellington Street. Now Annie Belleau is the song that I proudly sing /When I’m looking for my friends near Dorchester St / It’s so good to hear these gang vocals again / When you’re back home with no gain but pain. I didn’t know exactly what I would find / Still don’t really know what I left behind / I couldn’t buy your heart, so I stole you a kiss /I fell in love 10 times walking down St-Joseph st…

Tonight I wish I was in 1992 /Drinking Strawberry Crush and watching Ghostbusters 2/ I can’t stand the shame of losing innocence/Every time my bored eye meets your silly smile/Still, I can jump up the fence / Nah I won’t fake ignorance/ I can’t say I don’t feel sorry for Che, no/ That I don’t give a damn…Now put your red square on/ Let’s go back to square one/ Tell me ‘bout another fight/ I’ll tell you ‘bout another lie (shot) / I can go right right right , I can go left left left /There ain’t no struggle I wanna win (no more)…Tonight we wish we were in 1990-something/We sure know what we want but we don’t know how we’ll get it/ That’s how it starts losing your innocence/Some call it wisdom, I call it pain / When do we grow up And stop learning from mistakes ?/ When do we stop being young/ And start charging for our faults? (x2)/Still we can jump up the fence/ Nah we won’t fake ignorance/We can’t say we won’t feel sorry for Che, no/ That we don’t give a damn…I’d like to jump up the fence But I won’t fake ignorance (x4)

Darling, if we grew apart it’s because
You’ve been driftin’ for too many years
See, my boat may be slow and old
But I sure know the ocean I’m sailing
Now I’m watching you drown
And I’m heading straight fucking away from you
I know the abyss of your needs
And I ain’t going back there, it’s true
Darlin’, what I needed was so simple, you know
A Guitar, a cat and a comfortable pillow….
Sure, I tought of suicide
Saw angels near subway lines
I thought it was impossible
To see my smile in another woman’s eyes
Sure, the 18 bus will never be the same
Now I’m riding my bike, I don’ feel no shame
I wish I could ride it all night long
And sing some Get up kids songs
Honey, you can’t beg trust from friends, don’t you forget?
And your happiness, you won’t find in a market…
Well, you can trade my heart for another
I don’t mind, I have some new songs
Sat with my guitar and my cat,
I can still talk to you all day long….

Talking about another week but there's nothing really to talk about / Joey picks his dirty clothes off the ground /There's no coffee left and no cigarettes to smoke / Talking about another week…Joey fucked with the wrong guy/Thought he could get away with it…(Well guess what?) Joey's gonna get stabbed. He goes outside, it's cold and it's still dark /Finds another home just next door/The guy was alright, just a little insecure/ I don’t think he took too much but his coke was not so pure… Joey had no time to react, knife already in his back / Well guess what? Joey's gonna get stabbed. Again and again the guy draws other blows/ He was just a little psycho/ (Well guess what?) Joey will never know.

Hey, have you heard ‘bout these strange stories? / You know, there ain’t no fairy tales in this country/ When the soldiers came and killed every family/ Was it what they called nation’s unity? / After a few years the grizzlies were back/ The food was the same/ But the hunt was now legal/ It seems there is no one to blame anymore/Just handshakes to wipe the blood from their hands. Wooh Ohhh We’ve never heard your call for freedom/ with your slit throat/ We’ve never heard your call for justice Maybe we were just deaf (you were just dead)…Tell me who you are/ Tell me what you fight for/Your answer is confused/And so were your rapists/Oh Anna, you opened up our eyes/ Just before you closed your own…There are no revolutionaries/Just characters in a crude reality/ For all these widows dressed in black/ The only thing left is anger fed by attacks.

Older, We think we’re getting stronger but we’re wrong / The years are getting heavier/ We’re weaker…We keep running on our knees / With our dreams on our shoulders (x2)…So let’s just pretend… It was all fun and games/ Until we lost our hearts/ Man, we should have listened to their advice/ “Break a leg tonight but don’t break yours”/ One day these pictures of us/ Will tear apart (x2)…Thx for the music/Thx for the night/ I hope the goodbyes won’t be too hard/ The sweat we dropped in our glass of jack/ Made the worst half-better/ And we felt alive…for a while (x2).

Alie Sin Québec, Québec
Alie Sin first hit the scene in 2007 with a folk & punk sound.The shape-shifting trio has since released 3 albums and played more than a hundred venues across Quebec, Canada and Louisiana. In 2016, they decided to switch to a more stated country formula. They went back to the studio to record "Washboard confessional", an album that fully captures that lonesome whisky spirit & will be out in 2019 ... more
