[QUOTE]Are there any Gord lyrics you would change?

Yes. In the Canadian Railrod Trilogy.

"Build the mines, the mills, and the factories, for the good of us all."

Suggestion; "Brought the culture of Europe and gave it root to a freer way of life."

For the good of us all eh? Maybe that played in the sixties, but many have trouble with that now.
