At a Blue Rodeo concert in St. John's in February, Jim sang a song I loved but I have no clue what the name of the song is.....goes something like "everyones watching the sails but I'm watching you...." or something along those lines.

 

help?! 

"Everyone's watching themselves, but I'm watching you"

-- "Rebel" (from Outskirts)

I believe that's the song you're looking for.  

 

Oh, and welcome to the board! 

---

"There's the shirt that I like!"

"It was nice singing with you this evening."

Thank you so much!! That was driving me nuts!

Welcome, Ness!  That sure was one of the highlights of a great show, wasn't it.  I don't think they play that one very often - brings me way back to seeing them for the first time at Memorial U.

Outskirts was their first album and one of their best.  You can listen to the studio version here:

Out on the streets every night
Going out of my head
Caught in a midnight parade
That I wish I wasn't in
Running away with nowhere to hide
Caught in a world just four lanes wide
Everyone thinks of themselves
But I'm thinking of you

And it's all for a rebel
And it's all for a rebel
Rebel rebel

Spent last night falling in love
With a girl in room five
People round here are different
We lead desperate lives
Same sun rising over your head
Is catching me wasted worn-out and dead
Everyone watches themselves
But I'm watching you

And it's all for a rebel
And it's all for a rebel
Rebel rebel

Out on the streets every night
Going out of my head
Caught in a midnight parade
That I wish I wasn't in
Same sun rising over your head
Is catching me wasted worn-out and dead
Everyone watches themselves
But I'm watching you

And it's all for a rebel
And it's all for a rebel
Rebel rebel rebel
