Tegan And Sara Sainthood Lyrics
1.Arrow

Would you take a straight and narrow,
critical look at me?
Would you tell me tough-love style?
Put judicial weight on me.
If you're thinking anything.
If you're thinking endlessly.
If you're thinking anything.
If you're thinkin'...

I feel the breeze.
Your feathers of an arrow.
Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow.
I take my aim, you feel me coming close.
I take my aim so you feel me coming close.
I feel the breeze.
Your feathers of an arrow.
Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow.
I take my aim, you feel me coming close.
I take my aim so you feel me coming close.

Would you take a calm and tender,
terminal kind of care?
Would you touch me?
Cling and wage an intimid fight for me?
If you're thinking anything.
If you're thinking endlessly
If you're thinking anything.
If you're thinkin'...

I feel the breeze.
Your feathers of an arrow.
Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow.
I take my aim, you feel me coming close.
I take my aim so you feel me coming close.
I feel the breeze.
Your feathers of an arrow.
Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow.
I take my aim, you feel me coming close.
I take my aim so you feel me coming close.
I feel the breeze.
Your feathers of an arrow.
Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow.
I take my aim, you feel me coming close.
I take my aim so you feel me coming close.
I feel the breeze.
Your feathers of an arrow.
Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow.
I take my aim, you feel me coming close.
I take my aim so you feel me coming close.


2.Don't Rush

Don't rob, bad idea,
you've been so good, I hear
Don't rush
Don't move, bad idea,
you've been so still,
I'm here for you, don't rush

One way or another
I'll find my way to cover
I sing to find my other
Sing to find my
One way, my lovely other,
They'll find restless cover
You sing to another
Sing to find your

Don't leave, bad idea,
you've been so far, so long
Don't rush
Don't run, bad idea,
you move so fast,
I need to rush

One way or another
I'll find my way to cover
I sing to find my other
Sing to find my
One way, my lovely other,
They'll restless cover
You sing to another
Sing to find your
One way or another
I'll find my way to cover
I'd love to find my other
Love to find you
One way, my lovely other,
They'll find restless cover
You've found so many others

One way to erase bad ideas,
well I won't see you once you arrive
One way to escape bad ideas,
well I won't cry to you,
not that you would mind
One way to erase bad ideas,
(Oh, oh, love the other)
well I won't see you once you arrive
One way to escape bad ideas,
(Oh, oh, love the other)
well I won't cry to you,
not that you would mind

One way or another
I'll find my way to cover
I sing to find my other
Sing to find my
One way, my lovely other,
They'll restless cover
You sing to another
Sing to find your
One way or another
I'll find my way to cover
I'd love to find my other
Love to find you
One way, my lovely other,
They'll find restless cover
You've found so many others


3.Hell

No, I'm not ready for
a big bad step in that direction
No, I'm not ready for
downtown trash avoid collection
Four blocks, run and hide
Don't walk alone at night
Cityscapes, city change before they die
Four blocks, I should mention in a song
If I want to get along with change
Who doesn't wanna change this?
I know you feel it too
These words get overused
When we get up and over it and over them
Up and over it and over them
I know you feel it too
It all seems so untrue
When you get up and over it and over them
Uh oh, hell no, uh oh, hell no

No, we're not ready for fair distribution
Just a terminal solution for
No, we're not ready for hell
Hell no, for hell, hell no
Four days wide awake,
Why slide along and say
Girl's afraid, girl will change,
just move away
Four days that I mention in a song
Move along, get ahead,
get her hand and bring her with you
I know you feel it too
These words get overused
When we get up and over it and over them
Up and over it and over them
I know you feel it too
It all seems so untrue
When you get up and over it and over them
Uh oh, hell no, uh oh, hell no

Four ways to remove all the bad that we do
From the heart and the soul of the city,
sad and cold
Four ways to collect
what we say and what we save
To discard and discover a brand new way

I know you feel it too
These words get overused
When we get up and over it and over them
Up and over it and over them
I know you feel it too
It all seems so untrue
When you get up and over it and over them
Up and over it and over them
I know you feel it too
These words get overused
When we get up and over it and over them
Up and over it and over them
I know you feel it too
It all seems so untrue
When you get up and over it and over them
Uh oh, hell no, uh oh, hell no
Uh oh, hell no, uh oh, hell no


4.On Directing

you're directing me,
your eyes focus like a microscope
get the cuts you need,
eyes focus like a microscope

go steady with me?
I know it turns you off when I
I get talking like a teen
I get talking like a teen

you're directing me
you're dressed up,
I lose my grip, my focus
make those eyes at me
I lose my grip, I lose my focus

go steady with me?
I know it turns you off when I
I get talking like a teen
I get talking like a teen
go steady with me?
I know it turns you off when I
I get talking like a teen
I get talking like a teen

(hold on to me)
you're directing me,
eyes focus like a microscope
(hold on to me)
get the cuts you need,
eyes focus like a microscope
(hold on to me)
you're directing me
you're dressed up,
I lose my grip, my focus
(hold on to me)
make those eyes at me
I lose my grip, I lose my focus

go steady with me?
I know it turns you off when I
I get talking like a teen
I get talking like a teen
go steady with me?
I know it turns you off when I
I get talking like a teen
I get talking like a teen
(hold onto me)
go steady with me?
I know it turns you off when I
(hold onto me)
I get talking like a teen
I get talking like a teen
(hold onto me)
go steady with me?
I know it turns you off when I
(hold onto me)
I get talking like a teen
I get talking like a teen


5.Red Belt

when you think nothing could be
further from the truth
when you're sure nothing could be
further from the cold, hard truth
I kneel, to condition
all the feelings that I feel
slow it down, you have a tendency
to rush back into your past
slow it down, you transfer
all your weight and disappear
you kneel, to condition
all the feelings that you feel

I've got a red belt around my mind
my hands tied up around these words
I wish you'd call,
but I know that you're out tonight
my ears fill with the sound of you kneeling
my ears fill with the sound of descent
my ears fill with the sound of you arching
slow it down, you have a tendency
to rush back into your past
slow it down, you transfer
all your weight and disappear
kneel, to condition all the feelings
that you feel
kneel, to condition all the feelings
that you feel
kneel, to condition all the feelings
that you feel
kneel, to condition all the feelings
that you feel


6.The Cure

Begging like
you might take order in your own hands.
I stare,
seems like I don't care.
Drop a chance in your hands, then.

I know that bad's got to fix itself,
correct over time.
And, I know 'cause I've got the cure.
I've got a cure for your crimes.

All I dreamed up,
all that seemed like luck
seems silly to you now.
All I said to you,
all I did for you seems so silly to me now.

(Oh oh-oh...)

Screaming like
no one might
call the cops and arrest you this time.
Standing back
against my building's back
door, your hoping for a ride.

I know the world's been mean to you.
I've got a cure; hold tight.
I know the world's not fair to you.
I've got a cure for its crimes.

All I dreamed up,
all that seemed like luck
seems silly to you now.
All I said to you,
all I did for you
seems so silly to me now.

Oh oh, when you say it so so
slowly to me, oh oh
well I keep going. Oh no
I ran while knowing.
No no, I know you need it,
so so I need it, too. And, oh oh,
I must keep going, so so
you must, too. And oh oh
when you say it so so
slowly to me. Oh oh,
will I keep going? No no,
I ran while knowing. No no,
I know you need it,
so so I need it, too, and oh oh
I must keep going,
so you must, too.
Oh oh.

I've got a cure.
I've got the cure for you.
I've got a cure.
I've the cure.
All I dreamed up,
all that seemed like luck
seems silly to you now.
All I said to you,
all I did for you
seems so silly to me now.
All I dreamed up,
all that seemed like luck
seems silly to you now.
All I said to you,
all I did for you
seems so silly to me now.

I've got a cure.
I've got the cure for you.
I've got a cure.
I've got the cure for you.
(Oh oh-oh...)


7.Northshore

Don't bend
Don't bleed
Don't beg
Don't scream
Don't whine
Don't fight
Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me.

Don't feel
Don't tear
Don't kiss
Don't care
Don't touch
Don't want me, don't want me, don't want me.

Somethings so sick about this,
My misery is so addictive
I'm halfway there watching
Northshore from the floor
singing to you over my shoulder

Don't run
Don't hide
Don't hurt
Don't lie
Don't breathe
Don't try
Don't find me, don't find me, don't find me.

Don't cringe
Don't clench
Don't look
Don't flinch
Don't know, don't go
Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me.

Somethings so sick about this,
My misery is so addictive
I'm halfway there watching
Northshore from the floor
singing to you over my shoulder.

Don't sing
Don't talk
Don't yell
Don't laugh
Don't think, don't speak,
Don't save me, don't save me, don't save me.

Don't stare
Don't glare
Don't heal
Don't mend
Don't take, don't send
Don't love me, don't love, don't love me

Somethings so sick about this,
My misery is so addictive
I'm halfway there watching
Northshore from the floor
singing to you over my shoulder
Somethings so sick about this,
My misery is so addictive
I'm halfway there watching
Northshore from the floor
singing to you over my shoulder
Somethings so sick about this,
My misery is so addictive
I'm halfway there watching
Northshore from the floor
singing to you over my shoulder
Somethings so sick about this,
My misery is so addictive
I'm halfway there watching
Northshore from the floor
singing to you over my shoulder


8.Night Watch

I've got grounds for divorce
It's in my blood, this divorce
I'll separate everybody
I need distance from your body
Oh, I deserve this anguish on my house

So get away
you cannot follow me
(I'll get away)
You cannot follow me
So get away
you cannot follow me
So get away
You cannot follow me
(I'll get away)

I've got grounds for recourse
Your lungs fill with discourse
You separate from my body
You need consistence from somebody
Oh, I deserve this anguish on my house

So get away
you cannot follow me
(I'll get away)
You cannot follow me
So get away
you cannot follow me
(I'll get away)
You cannot follow me
So get away
you cannot follow me
(I'll get away)
You cannot follow me
(So get away)


9.Alligator

sensitive
it's true,
alligator tears cried over you

over you, over you

over you, over you
run around on me
I'd sooner die without
run around on me
die without

relentless,
yes, it's true
my motor mouth
runs over you

over you, over you

over you, over you
run around on me
I'd sooner die without
run around on me
die without

over you, over you

over you, over you

over you, over you

over you, over you

run around on me
I'd sooner die without
run around on me
die without

no hissy fits, mind my manners
won't make a scene
oh, over you

over you, over you
over you
over you, over you
run around on me
I'd sooner die without
run around on me
die without

rattled, yes, it's true
alligator tears spilled over you
run around on me
I'd sooner die without
run around on me
die without
run around on me
I'd sooner die without
run around on me
die without

over you, over you
over you
over you, over you
over you, over you
over you
over you, over you
over you
over you, over you
over you, over you


10.Paperback Head

You have to become
What you fancy

Paperback head, you get carried away
Stitch up your spine,
keep the suitors away
You must draw your own aid,
must sift your affairs
Must frame up...a material girl

Wild fires
You must remit

Can't stand the smoke,
pull the sheets down low
Rope up your mind,
keep the suitors in line
Must draw your own aid,
must sift your affairs
Must frame up...a material girl

A material girl

I gasp like sugar and spice
I gasp like sugar and spice

Who better than you? Better than you
Who better than you? Better than you
Who better than you? Better than you
Who better than you?

A paperback head, you get carried away
Stitch up your spine,
keep the suitors away
Can't stand the smoke,
pull the sheets down low
Rope up your mind,
keep the suitors in line
You must draw your own aid,
must sift your affairs
Must frame up...a material girl
A material girl, a material girl
A material girl, a material girl
[A material girl, a material girl
A material girl


11.The Ocean

when you wake what is it that you think of most?
when your bed is empty do you really sleep alone?
if I imagine you, body next to another
all around me, new love and it makes me sad
all around me, feel assured that you'll be back
if I imagine you, body next to another
stop crying to the ocean
stop crying over me
stop worrying over nothing
stop worrying over me
so it's been so long since you said,
'well I know what I want,
and what I want's right here with you.'

on the drive back here,
I was worrying over nothing
on the drive back there,
tears spilling over something
when I imagine you, body next to another
in the door, and you're there,
and you're sorry for the fright
in the door, can I hear
saying you don't wanna fight?
when I imagine you, body next to another
stop crying to the ocean
stop crying over me
stop worrying over nothing
stop worrying over me
so it's been so long since you said
'well I know what I want,
and what I want's right here with you.'
it's been so long since you said,
'well I know what I want,
and what I want's right here with you.'

in a flash it's back to you,
just brought attention to the mess
in a flash, you're on top,
begging me to understand
if I imagine you, body next to another
you drop in for a minute
and I'm sorry that I didn't drop
in sooner just to see you
and see what you've been doing
if I imagine you, body next to another
so it's been so long since you said,
'well I know what I want,
and what I want's right here with you.'
it's been so long since you said,
'well I know what I want,
and what I want's right here with you.'
it's been so long since you said,
'well I know what I want,
and what I want's right here with you.'
it's been so long since you said,
'well I know what I want,
and what I want's right here with you.'


12.Sentimental Tune

You
In a simple grey coat
In a simple white room (Oh!)
Now you know you know it now, and so
Now you know you know it now
You
Hate the tender-hearted torch song
You catch flame to my sentiment,
my sentimental tune (Oh!)
Now you know you know it now, and so
Now you know you know it now
Hard-hearted, don't worry,
I'm ready for a fight
Unnerved, the nerve, you're nervous,
nervous that I'm right
Hard-hearted, don't worry,
I'm ready for a fight
Unnerved, the nerve, you're nervous,
nervous that I'm right

Now
With your cause and affection on my mind
I won't yield;
throw caution into the blaze (Oh!)
Now you know you know it now, and so
Now you know you know it now
Watch
With a bit of friction
I'll be under your clothes
With a bit of focus
I'll be under your skin (Oh!)
Now you know you know it now, and so
Now you know you know it now
Hard-hearted, don't worry,
I'm ready for a fight
Unnerved, the nerve, you're nervous,
nervous that I'm right
Hard-hearted, don't worry,
I'm ready for a fight
Unnerved, the nerve, you're nervous,
nervous that I'm right

Oh, now you know you know it now, and so
Now you know you know it now
Oh, now you know you know it now, and so
Now you know you know it now


13.Someday

We yell, 'Speak up!'
I fill these pages like
I fill those spaces with my lies
We yell, 'Step down'
A crowd's not worth this
And love's not worthless
You've got to step up, stranger
Might paint something
I might want to hang here someday
Might write something
I want to say to you someday
Might do something I'd be proud of someday
Mark my words, I might be something someday

We yell, 'right on'
A class act president
You are my boss
I am competent in your eyes
They yell, 'Move up!'
Don't stand back here and wait
Like an animal at a farmer's gate
Am I food or am I free?
So speak up
This is your last chance, my friend
Roll the windows down and take me in
Reach out
Say what you're really about
Are you coming here or not?
Are you coming out?
Might paint something
I might want to hang here someday
Might write something
I want to say to you someday
Might do something I'd be proud of someday
Mark my words, I might be something someday
Might paint something
I might want to hang here someday
Might write something
I want to say to you someday
Might do something I'd be proud of someday
Mark my words, I might be something someday
I don't want to know that you don't want me
I don't want to know what you do without me
I don't want to know what I'll be without you
I don't want to know, I don't want to know
I don't want to know that you don't want me
I don't want to know what you do without me
I don't want to know what I'll be without you
I don't want to know, I don't want to know

Might paint something
I might want to hang here someday
Might write something
I want to say to you someday
Might do something I'd be proud of someday
Mark my words, I might be something someday
Might paint something
I might want to hang here someday
Might write something
I want to say to you someday
Might do something I'd be proud of someday
Mark my words, I might be something someday
I might want to hang here someday
Might write something
I want to say to you someday
Might do something I'd be proud of someday
Mark my words, I might be something someday
I might want to hang here someday
Might write something
I want to say to you someday
Might do something I'd be proud of someday
Mark my words, I might be something someday
