The Tragically Hip — Courage (For Hugh MacLennan) lyrics

Lyrics

Watch the band through a bunch of dancers
Quickly, follow the unknown
With something more familiar
Quickly, something familiar
Courage, my word
It didn’t come, it doesn’t matter
Sleepwalk, so fast asleep
In a motel that has the lay of home
And piss on all of your background
And piss on all your surroundings
Courage, my word
It didn’t come, it doesn’t matter
Courage, your word
It didn’t come, it doesn’t matter
Courage, my word
It didn’t come, it doesn’t matter
Courage, it couldn’t come at a worse time
There’s no simple
Explanation
For anything important
Any of us do
And, yeah, the human
Tragedy
Consists in The necessity
Of living with
The consequences
Under pressure
Under pressure
Courage, my word
It didn’t come, it doesn’t matter
Courage, your word
It didn’t come, it doesn’t matter
Courage, my word
It didn’t come, it doesn’t matter
Courage, it couldn’t come at a worse time
It couldn’t come at a worse time
No It couldn’t come at a worse time
Courage
