No Change In Me

You could shoot off a cannon down the middle of Bond And attract no attention in downtown St. John's This getting nowhere is gettin' to me Wonderin' where can you go To be all you can be? No regular Joe wants to haul up and go And wind up homesick with no one you know Just a smoke and a beer and the sports on TV Feelin' sorry you left With no choice but to leave No change in the weather No change in me I don't want to leave But you can't live for free You can't eat the air, and you can't drink the sea No change in the weather No change in me You could shoot off a cannon from the top of Long's Hill And a Gulliver's taxi might be all you'd kill We were promised the sun and the moon and the stars We got weathered old clapboard And salt-rusted cars So let me join in leavin' with all of the rest For Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver West Lay down on a sidewalk and kick off and die Watchin' people not lookin' As they hurry by No change in the weather No change in me I don't want to leave But you can't live for free You can't eat the air, and you can't drink the sea No change in the weather No change in me No change in me I don't want to leave But you can't live for free Down here, you can't live for free And you can't eat the air, and you can't drink the sea No change in the weather No change in me
