lyrics

words and music by
Blair Packham

Everything that’s good about the world
Could fit on the head of a pin
I’d use it to prick the bubble of resentment
And jealousy I feel for him
Everything that’s good about the world
Is concentrated in her grip
Hands wrapped around my nearly bursting heart
As she prods me with a fingertip

Everything that’s good:
Stand up and be counted
I’m losing my faith
And I’m losing it fast
Everything that’s good:
I took it for granted
Always believe ∏d it would last
‘Til I met that girl
I thought I knew
Everything that’s good about the world

I spent my chances
Like change in my pocket
Without thinking that they were gone
Hope sprang eternal
‘Til hope sprang a leak
Now how will I get along?

Everything that’s good about the world
Disappears when I think of how
He waltzed in while my head was spinning ‘round
And won her heart somehow
Everything that’s good about the world
Means nothing ‘til I break his hold
Revenge is fine in an overheated moment
But is so often sweeter cold

Everything that’s good:
Stand up and be counted...

Blair Packham Toronto, Ontario

New album "The Impossible Dream" coming soon! Thirteen years after 2004’s “Could’ve Been King," Blair Packham returned with a collection of clever and heartfelt songs, called “Unpopular Pop.” A bit Beatle-y, with shades of Elvis Costello, Blair’s songs are undeniably all his. He made the record at home and then called on Ron Sexsmith and ex-Barenaked Ladies’ Steven Page to make vocal appearances. ... more
