New Pornographers, The - This Is The World Of The Theater Lyrics
Since they've come, I've tried to go in straight, but I've got no clue how to
Who's gonna make it up just now try to, come up with some hard, brown move
Kid gloves, and stranger loves sea foam, you sort it out somehow
You used to chime in quietly, you sing, but you're a moaner now
Think of all the waves we're breaking
Is it too late to live in your hard, too late to burn all your civilian clothes
As you break into a million parts, too late to learn it yes we're on a boat
Cockel, reese and poutine break
Cockel, reese and poutine break
This is the world of the theater
This is the world of the theater
They call you from their hiding places on the shoulders of your chance
Think of all the cold we're braving
Think of all the ways we're cavemen
Is it too late to live in your hard, too late to burn all your civilian clothes
As you break into a million parts, too late to learn it really come to blows
Cockel, reese and poutine break
Cockel, reese and poutine break
This is the world of the theater
This is the world of the theater
Is it too late to live in your hard, too late to burn all your civilian clothes
As you break into a million parts, too late to learn it, yes we're on a boat
Cockel, reese and poutine break
Cockel, reese and poutine break
Cockel, reese and poutine break
Cockel, reese and poutine break
This is the world of the theater
This is the world of the theater

New Pornographers, The This Is The World Of The Theater Comments
Niko Case and this song rocks! This is the New Pornographers at their best.
I notice fhis groups music sounds so seroius and playful at the same time
B-52s meet Interpol.
So damn good!!!
this is such a good song what the fuck
Who's here from their retail job??
generationxray loll me!
Me greetings from Marshall’s
N u t. This is a quality song, dang.
Seriously special song, pretty great/unique
This song always play on rotation at the place that I work at.
Great song. Plain, simple, to the point
Neko songs are always the best NP songs
this is one of those songs that hook you in with just the first riff
Sounds Good!!
This song deserves a videoclip
Rogério Bordini music vid is more like it
Saw them this past Tuesday. Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. I have seen a LOT of concerts in my time. Without question this is by far the best. Uber geek crowd, acoustically perfect, extremely tight band, totally on point. This song in particular give me chills with the harmonies. LOVE Neko! A.C. Newman is a genius.
from challengers to conquerors of the daybreak
How the fuck much do I love you folks.
Is it too late to live in your heart? Too late to burn all your civilian clothes?
Niko Case is her usual marvelous self, but don't overlook Kathryn Calder's exceptional vocals. She is every bit Neko's equal.
APRIL 12 IN LA !!!! A GREAT BAND LIVE , CANT WAIT!!
Amazing Show!!!!!!!!
since the calm i’ve tried to go it straight but i’ve got no clue how to
who’s gonna make it up just now try to come up with some high brow move
kid gloves and stranger loves you don’t you sort it out somehow
we use to charm them quietly you see but you’re a moaner now
think of all the life worth saving
think of all the waves we’re breaking
is it too late to live in your heart
too late to burn all your civilian clothes
as you break into a million parts
too late to learn it; yes, we’ll honor both
conquerors of the daybreak
conquerors of the daybreak
this is the world of the theater
this is the world of the theater
(ahhh-hahhh)
all the phantom minor notes that pass you on your way to dying
they call you from their hiding places on the shoulders of your chants
think of all the cold we’re braving
think of all the ways we’re paving
is it too late to live in your heart
too late to burn all your civilian clothes
as you break into a million parts
too late to learn it; will it come to blows
conquerors of the daybreak
conquerors of the daybreak
this is the world of the theater
this is the world of the theater
(ahhh-hahhh)
is it too late to live in your heart
too late to burn all your civilian clothes
as you break into a million parts
too late to learn it; yes, we’ll honor both
conquerors of the daybreak
conquerors of the daybreak
conquerors of the daybreak
conquerors of the daybreak
this is the world of the theater
this is the world of the theater
Is this correct lyrics? obviously there're some differences
They were scrawled on a crumbled leaflet found in the back row of the twin cinema.
Love this
Amazing...best song of 2017 so far....
I cant understand all the lyrics does anyone have the words? Conquer as a birthday grave?
Conquerors of the daybreak
But I don't know what is after "Too late to learn it" ,"yes we're on a boat/yes we'll honor both/yes we lean on both"?

Ill take more Neko any way I can get her. Good stuff
Neko, love of my life, as always.
This is better than High Ticket Attractions, but it's just barely passable. "Conquerors of the daybreak" was repetitive and sounded like a vocal melody from a previous song.
good songs. good studio. good performances, didn't love the video, but im a boomer, perhaps left too much rage behind to appreciate destruction of school
Ah High School. This brings back memories, like that time in homeroom my friend told me to stop singing Wonderwall all the time.
I said maybeeeeee.
Cool Music! from La Oroya Perú.
#12 on this week's New Alternative 20 Chart:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh9rxC1es0E&list=PLxlSBzMcrtkPicJIfMbfwwPiPk9SFOZ3W&index=12
One of the best songs of 2017 so far !!! The final part reminds me of Fleetwood Macs 'Everywhere'.
Robin more like go ur own way
Nice work. Thank you!
Even better than the last one!
High Ticket Attractions was pretty good, but this one feels like it's missing some pornographers.
Bliss... instant classic that only TNP can churn out. Missed you guys.
Finally!!!
i freaking love this, i'm so glad the new pornos are back <3 neko's voice is just incredible
If this song had been released in 1977 instead of 2017 it would have been a massive hit single I reckon. Sadly only 40 years too late for chart success :)
Sad, isn't it? That's the state of music today. And forget about airplay.
Sounds alot like Go ur own way by Fleetwood Mac the beat anyway
Maybe 40 years from now...sigh
I don't think I've like a song this much on first listen in a long time.
Ricks Americana right? No annoying repeats, fresh composure, really what separates it from the cheap shit
Great band...
carl newman's duets with neko are amazing. it reminds me of stevie nicks and lindsey buckingham. they could harmonize together extremely well! can't wait for the album to come out <3
Agree! It was more than "stevie and lindsay" perhaps the most interesting singer in that group was the third wheel--also on piano!--Calder is "in there" and adds a lot to Carls amazing vocal arrangements. She also plays piano!
Totally. I feel ashamed for letting that major detail slip. Christine McVie, like Calder, deserves that acknowledgement. you know what I find strange though....I don't think Dan Bejar is on the new album. He's awesome.....Destroyer! Hopefully he will return.
I listened carefully, could be Neko--she can be a bit of a vocal chameleon. We need liner notes! Newman has a lot of vocal resources. He does use "outside" vocalists and don't forget-the entire band can sing. Looks like Bejar is not present on tis one though. There are some issues. Neko is often off on her own leaving Kathryn C to handle vocals (along with "guest" vocalists). Bejar is often MIA on tours--he is pretty irreplaceable on his tunes IMOP. Wonder if this is a reason.
it is Neko
@lambyiii You reminded me of Robert Christgau on Rumours: "The cute-voiced woman writes and sings the tough lyrics and the husky-voiced woman the vulnerable ones."
Between this and High Ticket Attractions, I am looking forward to this album.
Sounds great! Love Neko's voice.
Wow - love the song! The vocals are amazing
