The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

Isn't It A Pity Lyrics
Cowboy Junkies
[george Harrison Cover]
Isn't It A Pity
Now, Isn't It A Shame
How We Break Each Other's Hearts
And Cause Each Other Pain
How We Take Each Other's Love
Without Thinking Anymore
Forgetting To Give Back
Isn't It A Pity
Some Things Take So Long
But How Do I Explain
When Not Too Many People
Can See We're All The Same
And Because Of All Their Tears
Their Eyes Can't Hope To See
The Beauty That Surrounds Them
Isn't It A Pity
Isn't It A Pity
Isn't Is A Shame
How We Break Each Other's Hearts
And Cause Each Other Pain
How We Take Each Other's Love
Without Thinking Anymore
Forgetting To Give Back
Isn't It A Pity
Forgetting To Give Back
Isn't It A Pity
Forgetting To Give Back
Now, Isn't It A Pity
