38 Years Old Lyrics - Up To Here - Tragically Hip

Twelve men broke loose in seventy three 

From Millhaven Maximum Security 

Twelve pictures lined up across the front page 

Seems the Mounties had a summertime war to wage 

Well, the chief told the people they had nothing to fear 

Said, "The last thing they want to do is hang around here" 

They mostly came from towns with long French names 

But one of the dozen was a hometown shame 

Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall 

Been one seat empty eighteen years in all 

Freezing slow time, away from the world 

He's thirty eight years old, never kissed a girl 

He's thirty eight years old, never kissed a girl

We were sitting round the table, heard the telephone ring 

Father said he tell them if he saw anything 

Heard the tap on my window in the middle of the night 

Held back the curtain for my older brother Mike 

See my sister got raped so a man got killed 

Local boy went to prison, man's buried on the hill 

Folks went back to normal when they closed the case 

They still stare at their shoes when they pass our place 

My mother cried, "The horror has finally ceased" 

He whispered, "Yeah, for the time being at least" 

And over her shoulder on the squad car megaphone 

Said, "Let's go, Michael, son, we're taking you home"

Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall 

Been one seat empty eighteen years in all 

Freezing slow time, away from the world 

He's thirty eight years old, never kissed a girl 

He's thirty eight years old, never kissed a girl 

He's thirty eight years old, never kissed a girl
