Though countless and various artists list him as a mentor and favorite songwriter, Gordon Lightfoot's scores as an artist is low, compared with many of those who have recorded his songs, with million-selling results. But he's had a few. In February 1975 he released "Cold on the Shoulder" both as single and album; in March it reached #10 at the album charts, and in October he included it with new album "Gord's Gold".
The song is typical Lightfoot: simple, solid and catchy craftswork.
And besides; funny how many good artists Canada has come up with through the years.
all you need is time
all you need is time time time to make me bend
give it a try • don't be rude
put it to the test and I'll give it right back to you
it's cold on the shoulder
and you know that we get a little older every day
kick it around • take it to town
try to defy what you feel inside
you better be strong
your love belongs to us
it's cold on the shoulder
and you know that we get a little older every day
all I need is trust
all I need is trust • trust • trust to make it show
I don't want to know everything you done
if you get a tip then tell it to the eskimos
it's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get a little older every day
all we need is faith
all we need is faith • faith • faith to make it nice
kick it around • don't be rude
if you're gonna make a mistake don't you make it twice
it's cold on the shoulder
and you know that we get a little older every day
