The Woods Are Full of Cuckoos - Rheostatics

The West Hill winged sensation

Brought me love and realization

On a cold and dreary night in '84

I saw him reading Mazeroski’s Baseball Annual

He was a baseball animal

I asked him could I take a look

He offered me the book

Ya, he was older, a little weirder

And to boot, he played the lapsteel

Yet it sounded like a violin

Lemme tellya 'bout the band he’s in

The Woods are Full of Cuckoos

His name was Gord, the band was great

A benchmark of the scene

And maybe I’ll make you a dub sometime

And you can tape over the Vital Sines

The band broke up and that’s a shame

But I just can’t forget this name

(I'll bet you.)

The West Hill winged sensation!
