about

I am as guilty as falling for the trappings of commercialism as the next person, and for feeling like I
need to fill every moment with action these days with fast paced multitasking. Thought I would channel
this ridiculousness into a love song where the characters live for speed and a bargain.

lyrics

We got married on our first date
Drive through consummation by midnight
No more left being all alone
Making out with the telephone

Fell in love between fries and rings
You said let’s have everything at the same time
All at once we were peeling out
Exclaiming our wedding vows

Found a fast romantic
In a Dollarama Isle
Rows of shiny plastic
And your Dalai Lama smile

Landed in a Cul-de-sac encircling a Tamarack
Who charmed a High and oh-so-Lonesome urban planner
Guarded from all thoroughfares, a dead end loop around and there
He left her with a showy last-one-standing banner

We just paid to reserve our graves
Duplex discount at the Bargain Boneyard
Ended up scoring 2 for 1
Isn’t life a phenomenon?

Found a fast romantic
In a Dollarama Isle
Rows of shiny plastic
And your Dalai Lama smile

Found the last romantic
In a Dollarama Isle
Rows of shiny plastic
And your Dalai Lama smile
