5. Montreal by Bloc Party

"The snow is still falling on St. Catherine's,

Losing the daytime to fair le goûter,

You're messing with the big boys don't you know?"

6. Montreal by Bran Van 3000

"One day God walked on old mount royal

Just to dream up the human form

Threw stones and cans and comic books in a kettle

And you came out like a shining goddess heavy metal

Say it's just too bad some hearts don't settle

And the pipes are leaking and you feel like leaving

Yeah, we heard this one before"

I sing soprano in the upstairs choir

You are a holy man

On the F.M. radio

I sat up all the night and watched thee

To see, who in the world you might be."

Winter by morning"
