Hang our diplomas on the bathroom wall...

I love The Weakerthans. Best band ever. I think their songs epitomize the feel of my twenties. This song is my driving-home-after-a-bad-day-at-work-belting-out-the-lyrics ballad.

Ten to six and 9-to-5, trying, dying to survive. Never knowing what survival means.
Leave the apartment to buy alcohol. Hang our diplomas on the bathroom wall.

...

Let's lay our bad day down here, dear and make-believe we're strong,
or hum some protest song.

It kills me. They are so good. I love the quirky and clever lyrics, the presence of cats as major characters and the overall honesty of the songs.

Listen to the song here.

And my other all-time favorite by them, Our Retired Explorer

...Comment allez-vous ce soir? Je suis comme ci comme ça / Yes, a penguin taught me French back in Antarctica / Oh, I could show you the way shadows colonize snow / Ice breaking up on the bay off the Lassiter coast / Light failing over the pole as every longitude leads / up to your frost bitten feet oh, you're very sweet

 Give 'em a listen.
