Mount Royal Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You loved skating around in those parking lots
Rolling home every night after dark
You would see her shooting pool down on Saint Laurent
Like she was shooting for the moon and the stars
You wanted to steal her away like Sir Lancelot
And sing her calypso songs in the park
But she was always shooting pool down on Saint Laurent
So you were shooting for the moon and the stars
And the stars
[Chorus]
We sang upon the banks of the Port of Montréal
Just after closing time at the bar
We fell down on our knees
On the steps of the Oratoire
Just who in the hell do we think we are?
Shooting for the moon and the stars
[Verse 2]
You fell too many times in that parking lot
You got tired of counting your scars
Monday morning, back at school at Loyola Hall
Still you were dreaming of the moon and the stars
You started to give away all those things you bought
Traded your skateboard for a guitar
You decided to quit school and said, "Fuck it all"
For you were shooting for the moon and the stars
And the stars
[Chorus]
We sang among the ranks to an old-town country song
Sheltered by the Blue Angel bar
We spoke in broken French, so we never could belong
Just who in the hell do we think we are?
Shooting for the moon and the stars
Shooting for the moon and the stars
Shooting for the moon and the stars

What did Suzie Ungerleider say about "Mount Royal"?
It’s a romantic song about my time in Montreal when I was just at the end of my teenage years. I had never lived away from home and here I was thousands of miles from where I had grown up. I was still in Canada but I felt like such a foreigner in this French-speaking city.
