A laugh for the way my life has gone A laugh for the love of a friend A laugh for the fools in the eyes of the world The love that will never end Ha ha ha...

A laugh for the newsprint nightmare A world that never was Where the questions are all "why?" And the answers are all "because" Ha ha ha... A laugh for the dogs barking at our heels They don't know where we've been A laugh for the dirty window pane Hiding the love within Ha ha ha...

Love this man so much it’s unreal
Truly a masterpiece of songwriting.
"I laugh for the dirty windowpane, hiding the love within.." Love his lyrics.
One of Canada's best lyricists. He has the soul of a Poet, surely.
LOVE BRUCE,,,GREAT WISDOM FLOWS FROM THIS MAN,,,
Love it... "...thru the thermal inversion haze"... Only Bruce!
'Nother Canadian poet of devastating turn of phrase. Must be something in the water.
He's a wonderful poet!
Mine too. Love this song and haven't heard it since my record player broke. Thanks.
I Iimagine getting to hear it again was like a sip of water after crossing a desert.
Thanks! How timely for the days we are in.

Thanks for this terrific pick.
Does he do his own guitar work? It's really good.
Yes he does
Oh my, yes!
A laugh for the way my life has gone
A laugh for the love of a friend
A laugh for the fools in the eyes of the world
The love that will never end
Ha ha ha...
Let's hear a laugh for the man of the world
Who thinks he can make things work
Tried to build the new Jerusalem
And ended up with new york
Ha ha ha...
A laugh for the sun redballing
Through the thermal inversion haze
A laugh for the nuclear good-time boys
Numbering all our days
Ha ha ha...
A laugh for the newsprint nightmare
A world that never was
Where the questions are all "why?"
And the answers are all "because"
Ha ha ha...
A laugh for the dogs barking at our heels
They don't know where we've been
A laugh for the dirty window pane
Hiding the love within
Ha ha ha...
Tapping our feet to an ancient tune
A laugh for the time gone by
A laugh for me and kitty in the delivery room
Waiting for the child's first cry
Ha ha ha...
A laugh vor all the one they have nothing to laugh
