Biografía:
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.

Bm G D A (woo hoo hoo)
D A
They came down in 1988
G D A
Thousand spacecraft, like petals on the earth
D
And they had big eyes
A
And they walked like spies
G F# Em
Till they found someone who no one would believe
D A
There you were in your underwear
G D A
all alone drawing comics for your church
D A
and they took you up and they put you under
G F# Em
placed you on a table for observation
Bm D A E
Give me a deep kiss Im longing for distraction
Bm D A E
let me touch your tits and keep you occupied
A
G
if this comes as some surprise
F#
I am an alien
Bm Bm G D A
and to observe you I must keep you stoned
D A
There you lie with your doped up eyes
G D A
Staring past the one who could love you like a christ
D A
you see thats just the way it is up here
G F# Em
but I cannot meddle I will not interfere
Bm D
Meet me in the park
A E
sometime after the night comes
Bm D A E
you will see a star that shines like silver, smells like gold
A G
follow it through fields and hills
F#
and to the landing pad
Bm Bm G D A
you will give birth to an alien like me
Bm G D A D A
D A
They came down in 1988
G D A
thousand spacecraft like petals on the earth
D
they had big eyes
A
and they walked like spies
G F# E
til they found someone who no one would believe
Bm G A D (repeat til end)
woo hoo hoo
