Pamphleteer Lyrics - The Weakerthans

I'm standing on this corner, can't get their attention 

Facing rush hour faces turned around 

I clutch my stack of paper, press one to a chest 

Then watch it swoop and stutter to the ground 

I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight 

Waiting for a winter to be done 

Why do I still see you in every mirrored window 

In all that I could never overcome? 

How I don't know what I should do with my hands when I talk to you 

How you don't know where you should look so you look at my hands 

How movements rise and then dissolve, melted by our shallow breath 

How causes dance away from me, I am your pamphleteer 

I walk this room in time to the beat of the Gestetner 

Contemplate my next communique 

The rhetoric and treason of saying that I'll miss you 

Of saying hey, well maybe you should stay 

Sing, what force on earth could be 

Weaker than the feeble strength 

Of one like me remembering way it could have been 

So help me with this barricade, no surrender, no defeat 

A spectre's haunting Albert Street, I am your pamphleteer 

I am your pamphleteer, I am your pamphleteer
