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.

Mumbletypeg
by Dave Bidini
D G
I was like you -- a dot, a figure, or a point on a star.
D F#m G
I could be a king, a knight, a fraggle, or a Johnny Guitar.
D A Bb C
Cast in the mirrored light, ten stories high, the serpent lays below the
light.
D
Don't look down.
I had a mom, a dad, a sister in the back of the car.
Frightened by every living creature till she cut through the dark.
Saw her reflection in the screaming ice, fell in love not even twice --
Or three times.
Bm D Bm D
Love struck quick. Was like a razor's flick. Hand to eyes and mouth.
Bm A G
The Angels cried when they send you south, but you will -- you will --
You will be happy in spite of the shit and the pain of it.
D A D G
A little dream of flags on an inky ship. You will ride five colored horses.
D A D
Open sesame. Open your lips. Oh, I will...
Everything big -- so full of nothing that I just didn't need.
Licking you like an all day sucker game of Mumbletypeg.
You are the little thing that I understand, like playing in this rock and
roll band.
We roll along.
Something grew between the black and blue. Heart to fill a house.
A love so true, now there is no doubt that you will -- you will --
You will be happy, in spite of the shit and the pain of it.
A little dream of flags on an inky ship in a land of mock believe.
Open sesame. Steady your knees. Oh, I will...
Your love is a flower I pluck from your hair.
We park by the water, our bodies laid bare.
The right of the wrong. The sound of the song.
You will -- you will be happy despite of the shit and the pain of it.
A little dream of flags on an inky ship. You will ride five colored horses.
Open sesame. Steady your knees. Oh, I will...
