Apartment Song - The Tragically Hip

Illuminate the obvious

It’s standing right here in front of us

What our apartment does

When we’re not around does not concern us

Simulate the obvious

It’s standing, standing right here in front of us

Just what our apartment does

When we’re not around does not concern us

She’s the horrible aesthete

And she hates her ugly feet

At a place where her friends all meet

She takes her shoes off and invites everyone to see

Eliminate the obvious

It’s standing right here, right here in front of us

Just what our apartment does

When we’re not around does not concern us

She’s the horrible aesthete

At a place where her friends all meet

While her clock enforces its conceit

And her mirror checks out other things

And her walls stand a little more at ease

And her books they chat so expertly

And her cups and saucers get some sleep

And things get all together neat

At the clicking of the key

Returns the horrible aesthete
