Hey Rosetta! was a Canadian seven-piece indie rock band from the northeastern province of Newfoundland and led by singer and songwriter Tim Baker. The band announced in October 2017 that they would be taking an indefinite hiatus
In 2005, frontman Baker arrived home from a road trip with a suitcase full of poems and melodies. Hey Rosetta! was formed soon after with the addition of a string section (cellist Romesh Thavanathan and violinist Kinley Dowling) and rhythm section (bassist Josh Ward, drummer Phil Maloney, and guitarist Adam Hogan).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
●Verse 1 CDmG bad luck just weaves through the city, FCG (etc...) but it's keeping away from us we move at a crawl through the traffic and water street is humming along with me and cecilia singing and banging on the dashboard in time, we sing the words on her father's gravestone and he's there in the humid light...singing:
●Chorus AmG don't let the bastards grind you down... (3x)
●Verse 2 (same as verse 1)
good luck's in town for the weekend so we stumble around until dawn daylight just melts through the narrows and those morning birds are humming along with me and cecilia singing and stamping on the asphalt to prove we are the children of strength and of vigor we were born in the morning blue...singing:
●Chorus (same as last chorus)
don't let the bastards grind you down... (3x)
●Interlude CG when you're all, 'Jesus Murphy' and 'Ave Maria' AmF (etc...) and 'send me the courage', and 'let me be delivered' cause there's devils among us, there's devils living among us some have not got their teeth up, and some are ashes and near-dust and they're riding the freeways, and they're locking their front door at dusk and they're raising their families, and they're raising their fingers at us but this is a good town, this here is a heavy ancient thing this is a new land, this here is a thing they'll never see when they're all 'Jesus Murphy' and 'Ave Maria' and 'send me the courage', and 'let me be delivered' but AmG don't let the bastards grind you down (4x)
●Outro CDmG bad luck just weaves through the city FCG but it's keeping away from us.
