The Bastard Lyrics - Singles - Tragically Hip

If you ask me how I knew, I saw you 

I had a bird's eye view of a bird's eye view, 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 

This is the bastard (of it being having to choose) 

We've got the bastard (of it being having to choose) 

This is the bastard 

Then you turned all Billy Sunday 

Shouting, "Philadelphia for Christ and Christ for Philadelph-i-a" 

As the sun groomed the plane with crepuscular rays, when I saw you

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

And all of this augers well 

Even so it's presaging pell-mell 

And all of it augers well 

This is the bastard (of it being having to choose) 

This is the bastard (of it being having to choose) 

This is the bastard 

Being 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 

Wictory 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 bastard (of it being having to choose) 

This is the bastard (of it being having to choose) 

(Of it being having to choose) 

(Of it being having to choose) 

This is the bastard (of it being having to choose) 

This is the bastard 

This is the bastard
