Cover art for Now For Plan A lyrics by Tragically Hip, The

A new priority, THE new priority. All bets are off, put the chickens in barn,lock the gate, the only plan from now on is THE plan. All current plans are cancelled immediately.

There is only "Plan A", this plan. Your plan. Getting you through this, no matter how feeble my efforts may be to that end, the only plan is you. Your health, getting you - getting us - through this somehow.

Plan "A". Helping your wife survive cancer. Nothing else matters.
