Biography:
Rheostatics are a Canadian indie rock band. Although they had only one Top 40 hit (Claire in 1995), they were simultaneously one of Canada's most influential and most unconventional rock bands in the 1990s, a band whose defiantly quirky, yet compelling, take on pop and rock music has been described both as iconic and iconoclastic.
They played their farewell concert to a sold-out house at Toronto's Massey Hall on March 30, 2007. Sound board recordings of that and many other shows are available (with permission) at http://rheostaticslive.

A train moving out of the station, somewhere south of it.
A satellite making connections somewhere over it.
One makes a long lonely howl, one is silent.
A new design waits to be launched somewhere west of it.
A
Calling all cans on the go,
A
This is mission control
A E D A Bm
Somewhere built below it.
Pass that cup over here; this is boring.
And I don't even do this anymore to believe
The nonsense I'm hearing.
A certain amount of booze is all it takes to relax me.
Then it's back to my parents' home in a taxi.
Back to the place I belong,
To the place I belong.
Somewhere built below it.
E D A
Pass that cup over here
E D A
Pass that cup over here
this is boring.
I am a science boy.
I grew up on dinosaurs,
A million different species of birds, and aircraft.
This is the science of truth,
Is the science of love,
Is the science of it.
