“Montreal” was written by Joe Lally and is about his plan of moving to Montreal. His best friend had already moved there to go to school. And because she stayed there, Lally was planning of going there as well. At the time, Lally was 18 years old. “I never had a clue”, Lally wrote.
I'm trying to get to you
To the cold and glass and pain
Cutting back on everything
Never on a passing train
Sentence scraps the paper
Could not be there to you
And built-in conversation
What we would never lose
I'm going to Montreal
I won't do what they tell me
No I stay just the same
Tunneled all the pine trees
Still play a wasting game
I'm going, I'm going
I'm going to Montreal
I was looking for an answer
I would never find in you
I was looking for an answer
I'm going, I'm going away
I'm going to Montreal
I was looking for an answer
I would never find in you
Sold all my records
What a stupid thing to do
Going to Montreal
I never had a clue
No, I never had a clue
