Tragically Hip The Bastard Lyrics

if you ask me how i knew, i saw you
i had a bird's-eye view of a bird's-eye view
when i saw you

i 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

the b______ of it being, having to choose

then you turned all Billy Sunday
shoutin' "Philadelphia for Christ
and Christ for Philadelphia"

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______:
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______

the b______ of it being, having to choose
