| Too Deep For Any Normal Man - here's what I know - THE GOLDEN RIM MOTOR INN is a real place in the small mountain town of Golden, British Columbia, Canada - this is probably and metophorically speaking a LONG DISTANCE LOVE SONG OF THE SUBSTANCE ABUSER living not in the moment, but rather in the past - then again - maybe it's just me | |

| Well, as Gord Downie once said before playing this song live: "This is about a man who was sort've down on his luck. So he took to the streets shaking a banana at people, trying to convince them it was making a sound." Amazing song. I prefer it live. | |

| This is about a convict who just got out of jail and realizes that his life will never be normal again. He gets out of the bing, goes to a hotel with all the amenities, gets a prostitute, but none of these "luxuries" can replace the life he had before he was imprisoned. He can't enjoy the luxury because he can't stop thinking about what he had. | |
