LYRICS

There's a crasher on the North Shore side
Bring a bottle you'll get in
From Saint Georges to Marine Drive
You can hear the music clear cross town
So take the transit and be a martyr
Keep the faith it's running late
I'll be walking across the water
On that dirty Lion's Gate

Now in the alleyway we've arrived
Take it slowly as you go
On the fire escape in danger
I caught you lookin' down below

So mingle in my cool white trash
Help yourself to all my stash
The coast is clear and the host ain't wise
To us crashers on the North Shore side

If you're sitting and you're bored with that
Get up and move around
In the kitchen is where it's at
That's where everybody's found
Telling all those dressed up stories
That some would call plain lies
And in the hall we're claiming glory
Full of mickey bottle pride

So mingle in my cool white trash
Watch your step on the broken glass
The coast is clear and the host is high
And it's a crasher on the North Shore side

Well the cops came by to check it out
And to gauge the rock & roll
They liked the young girls and the way they pout
And they were willing to let things go

So we said goodnight when it came morning
So we started south the sea-bus way
Some said the boat's late goin'
Traffic's jammed across the waves

So mingle in my cool white trash
Tonight I recall a youth gone past
We swore we both were born black-eyed
Two kids crashing on the North Shore side
Two kids casing out the wild divide
Two kids crashing on the North Shore side
