See You Around Lyrics


Well, I'm sorry for my lack of communication
But as I'm staring out this fifth floor window
It seems like the least amount of communication is betterOh well, what am I supposed to say?
There's a bloody effigy on my wall
And the complimentary carnation is falling apartAnd I ain't got time for the niceties
Or rather, I was never, never fond of the nicetiesWell, I will see you around, around, around
I will see you around
I will see you around, yeah, yeah
I will see you aroundWell, I must admit I'm flattered
By your consecration
It's mind-numbing, spine-chilling
But never-the-less heartwarming gestureBut as you make your advances so clumsily
I'll save us both the hassle and leave
Hang out all night
In the familiar fluorescent light of Dunkin' Donuts'Cause I ain't got time for the niceties
Or rather I was never, never fond of the nicetiesI will see you around, yeah, yeah
I will see you around
I will see you around

I'll see you aroundWell, how are you with issues?
Lately you've been a half-assed activist
You've been seen sashaying around the picket line
Wearing scarcely any signOh, but I was vocal in love and strife
And the politics of your all important life
Well, I'm sorry
But your routine is coming off a bit raggedAnd I ain't got time for the niceties
Rather I was never, never fond of the nicetiesI will see you around, yeah
I will see you around
I'll see you around
I will see you aroundYeah, I will see you around
Um, I'll see you around, yeah
I will see you around, round
I'll see you around
I will see you around

The Cowboy Junkies is a Canadian alt-country band formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family (Margo Timmins, vocals; Michael Timmins, songwriter & guitars; Peter Timmins, drums) plus Alan Anton on bass. The group formed in Toronto in 1986. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.)

The Trinity Session is perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane". Reed reportedly liked the Junkies' version of the song better than his own, and began performing their version in concert.

None of the band's subsequent albums have been hits outside of Canada, although the band has maintained a dedicated following and have continued to have chart hits in their native country. Following their 1998 album Miles from Our Home, Cowboy Junkies were dropped from their major label contract. They have continued to release albums on their own independent label, Latent Records.
