Biography:
Rheostatics are a Canadian indie rock band. Although they had only one Top 40 hit (Claire in 1995), they were simultaneously one of Canada's most influential and most unconventional rock bands in the 1990s, a band whose defiantly quirky, yet compelling, take on pop and rock music has been described both as iconic and iconoclastic.
They played their farewell concert to a sold-out house at Toronto's Massey Hall on March 30, 2007. Sound board recordings of that and many other shows are available (with permission) at http://rheostaticslive.

[Verse]
G D D7
Have you heard the story of the children who wandered
G D G
So deep into the garden where the monkeybird sings?
G D D7
Swallowed by a green gulf of flowers and fauna,
D D
They fell into the strange world of Dr. Drumstein.
[Chorus]
Cm G Cm Gmaj7
Harmelodia. City of the sleeping babies.
Cm Gmaj7
Ride the Toothsome Wavy.
C D D7
(I took myself down to the bar, called your name out to the stars.)
[Verse]
G D D7
There's the big museum, the lightbulbs, you've seen them,
G D G
The Horsery, and Seaweed Aquarium sit.
G D D7
Dot and Bug were learning with the wingophones twirling,
G D G
So will they ever get back to father and home in...
[Chorus]
