The Tragically Hip The Bastard Lyrics

If you ask me how I knew
I saw you
Had a bird's-eye view of a bird's-eye view
When I saw you
Saw you not as you think, simply just as you
I saw you

And all of this augers well
Even though it's presaging pell-mell
All of it augers well
This is the b______
This is the b______
This is the b______

Then you turned all Billy Sunday
Shoutin' Philadelphia for Christ and Christ for Philadelphia, yeh
As the sun groomed the plane with crepuscular rays
When I saw you

And all of this augers well
Even so, it's presaging pell-mell
And all of it augers well
This is the b______
This is the b______
This is the b______

Having to choose
Between a flickering fuse
And power beyond what you use

Never mind us purple italians
Never mind that pool in the mountains
Victory came and went on winged elephants
I saw you

And all of this augers well
Even though, even so it's presaging pell-mell
All of it augers well
This is the b______
This is the b______
This is the b______
This is the b______
This is the b______
