‘Bobcaygeon’

The Tragically Hips’ ‘Bobcaygeon’…a love song wrapped in a story of civil disobedience and the fight against racism and fascism in a tolerant country.  I figure if I’m becoming a Canadian citizen I’d better start out right and endorse the greatest Canadian rock band ever and one of their best and most poignant songs.

‘Bobcaygeon’ makes me pine for long, cool and dreamy summer nights dancing out back in the grass in my bare feet. 

Must thank the TPB movie for exposing me to another wonderful bit of Canadiana.

Tragically Hip Bobcaygeon lyrics

I left your house this morning about a quarter after nine coulda been the Willie Nelson coulda been the wine when I left your house this morning it was a little after nine it was in Bobcaygeon I saw the constellations reveal themselves one star at a time Drove back to town this morning with working on my mind I thought of maybe quitting thought of leaving it behind went back to bed this morning and as I’m pulling down the blind the sky was dull and hypothetical and falling one cloud at a time That night in Toronto with its checkerboard floors riding on horseback and keeping order restored til the men they couldn’t hang stepped to the mic and sang and their voices rang with that Aryan twang I got to your house this morning just a little after nine in the middle of that riot couldn’t get you off my mind so I’m at your house this morning just a little after nine cause it was in Bobcaygeon where I saw the constellations reveal themselves one star at a timeTragically Hip Bobcaygeon lyrics
