Anyway now, it don't seem right
He is in there and you're on the outside
Over Pine Ridge to Wounded Knee
There's blood on the ground as far as you see
Crazy life
In the air I'm sensing a change of weather
In the end the path is clear
Does anyone remember here?
Did you all think he'd just disappear?
Crazy life
What've you done with Peltier?
Who did you think you'd taken away?
Crazy life
In the air I'm sensing a change of the weather
In the end the path is clear
Burying it won't stop it breathe in forever
Underground it takes to root
Anyway, it don't seem right
He is in there and you're on the outside
What've you done with Peltier?
Who did you think you'd taken away?
It's not over, it's not over
It's not over, it's not over
Oh, no, oh, no
It's not over, it's not over
It's not over, it's not over
Oh, no, oh, no
Oh, no

The band name actually comes from a Monty Python sketch. Eric Idle invented the name with the intention that it was so silly that it would never be used… |

| cohifi (Denver) | Posted: Jan 26, 2010 - 17:23 Great Tune Bill! I have all the Toad stuff and this is one of our favorites, even though it's sort of the Alter-ego Toad. |
| robco1 (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Jul 21, 2009 - 19:11 It is Toad the Wet Sprocket. And I like it. A lot. Never saw that one coming. |
| mikedarookie (7220 ft high WY) | Posted: Apr 17, 2009 - 14:57 Toad's melodies are mesmerizing. Thanks, Bill! |
| Tim_in_N_FL (Florida) | Posted: Feb 13, 2009 - 13:41 Thanks Bill! I absolutely love this song and the entire Coil CD. This was a high note on which TTWS to bow out in the late '90s.  |

| nagsheadlocal (North Carolina, the new New Jersey) | Posted: Dec 12, 2008 - 05:48 I have always liked the sound of the guitar on this song. |
| earthbased (Milwaukee, WI USA) | Posted: Sep 08, 2008 - 11:48 Looks like this album is out of print... |
| negativerad (California) | Posted: Aug 07, 2008 - 20:37 First it's a crazy life, then it's one hell of a life.... what's next. |
| volnomad (Somewhere, Not Here) | Posted: May 05, 2008 - 07:54 Moody, mellow, wonderful stuff. Saw them a couple of years ago on their first reunion tour. Glad they're back! |
| xkolibuul (Funky osprey) | Posted: Jan 31, 2008 - 21:19 No, Ruby Ridge and Pine Ridge are worlds apart, you're just confusing things. And by and large, the guns are a red herring. Canada is just as full of guns, and has a fraction the gun violence of the U.S. Look instead to our appalling divide between haves and have nots, plus lingering notes of racism and marginalization. Every country has its ugly history. What really makes me gag are my fellow Americans so quick to don the mantles of "freedom" and "liberty" without acknowledging the hypocrisy they conceal. Stingray wrote: Biggest shoot-out? I thought that was "Ruby Ridge". Why the word "Ridge" triggers shoot-outs in "U, S and A"? Could it be there are too many weapons in this country? Terrible-terrible...!!!! And shameful for an otherwise (often) "great nation". from Germany, yours! |
| RationalB (Brandon Manitoba) | Posted: Jan 31, 2008 - 21:10 AM clap trap Jeez these guys have gone WAY down hill! |

The lead singer, Glen Phillips, has a solo career and has worked with Nickel Creek on occasion. The guitarist and bassist started a band called Lapdog. The bassist quit after the first album and the drummer joined on for a second album. |
| nigelr (Coffs Harbour, Australia) | Posted: Nov 30, 2007 - 01:07 Very nice indeed! |

True, true. They are rare indeed. Funny thing... the battery in my car went out last fall, which wiped out my programmed stations... I still havn't bothered to put them back in, because I just don't care about FM anymore. Oh, for mobile RP... |

Man, I wish the FM I listened to would play this song.A classic, unforgetable tune. One of those sounds that you always look for when you need music for a get-together. However, they just havn't struck me strong enough over the years to get me to buy an album. The fault of overplay of this tune by FM radio, perhaps? 8. |

| xkolibuul (Pacific Rim, watching the storms roll in) | Posted: Jan 21, 2007 - 10:40 One of those bands whom I don't feel any compulsion to own any of their tunes but always love hearing them on RP. Kind of like...Pearl Jam...cueing up now. |
