You Knew I Was In The Bathroom You Fucker

You knew I was in the bathroom you fucker.
Red Deer, Whitehorse, Medicine Hat, Moose Jaw.
Livin' in my trailer park, and suddenly I realise –
that my life's goals, didn't really take me where I want to be.
You knew I was in the bathroom you fucker.
I've got a new television, even bigger than the last.
But the remote control is broken, so I must throw it away.
Friday night at the bar, no-one's as funny as me.
Maybe they don't know that I'm really lonely (stupid).

The title refers to an experience we had on the bus while crossing Canada. A women was left behind in the toilets at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. Not very funny really, and she was really angry. The lyrics have nothing to do with that really, but Marylise wanted to write a country-western song with me singing like a cowboy. I didn't like the idea at first, but when we were recording it I realised that I had to do what I had to do. Sounds more like Jello Biafra than a cowboy, but at least I tried. I was inspired by American white-trash «culture», which is something that a lot of non-North Americans really know nothing about (myself included) and love to talk shit about. Spewing out generalities and prejudiced statements about things you don't know and places you've never been really does make you look stupid. Trust me, I do it all the time.
