| "I have always known I was a little over the line of sanity," says Chris
Grant. "I had just read the book 'Come as you are', an unauthorized
biography on Nirvana. Kurt Cobain mixed melody with metal in my opinion.
Nirvana's songs became popular and this disturbed them. For some, the
underground and cult status that accompanies it can be better than fame and
fortune. I had this silly daydream of being popular and playing our songs
in big venues around the world. With P.O.P.P.S we intentionally went a bit
too far into what was mainstream, creating a radio friendly song. It's all
tongue-in-cheek and silly like most of my words. Still, I think it works.
Oh, I had to throw in the middle part; it was too kind." |

| Most of the songs on our record were written and the demos done using my
acoustic guitar (now stolen). This song had the music for awhile without
any words. One day Robert, my brother Will and myself (Chris) were checking
around Saskatoon to find out the value on some foreign currency. We stopped
at a bank and they directed us to a local collectable shop. On our way to
the store, we were stopped and interrogated by one of Saskatoon's finest. He
asked us where we were going and where we received the foreign money. Will
and Robert tried to explain that the money was from our father and that we
were attempting to check the value of it. The police officer didn't like
Robert's responses to his inquiries and we ended up spending a few hours in
this officer's company. We eventually did find out the value of the money;
it was worthless. We ended up back at Robert's house creating the lyrics
for Such a Shame. Since Robert lives on Avenue H, we felt the lyrics "Meet
you and beat you on Avenue H" helps to illustrate the collisions that occur
between youth and the establishment.

| This song was written in '96 or '97. I had read the Edgar Allan Poe story
called "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket". Basically, I
regurgitated the story into a song. I thought it was a cool story
especially after I read a biography about it. Apparently, in England they
believed this was a true account of a boy and his adventures told to E.A.
Poe. |
