Biografia:

Sutton e o baterista Jason Tait , ambos de Winnipeg, e criaram o Weakerthans, com um som mais melódico e uma forma introspectiva de composição que seus projetos anteriores.
A história da origem do nome da banda, como citado no encarte de Fallow menciona, é uma quota do filme de 1992 "The Lover"( "Go ahead, I'm weaker than you can possibly imagine.

C Am G F C Am
F F
C Am
So you don’t get to be a saint
G F
Martyrs never last this long
C Am
Guess I'll never be the one
G F
To defeat desire in song
F
Here's a marker
G C
Here's my naked skin
F
Our 'exhibit A'
F G C
Put a small x where I lost my way
C Am
All the actors broke their legs
G F
And it’s to late to postpone
C Am
The producer’s getting high
G F
And the audience went home
C Am
Smile and take your awkward bow
G F
Turn and stumble off the stage
C Am
Let the rain be your applause
G F
Every encore sooth your rage
F
Squint with one eye
G C
Hum a show-tune wait
F
For your right to say
F G C
oh that’s where you must have lost your way
C Am G F
C Am G F
F G C F
Megaphones in helicopters squeal “hey are you okay?”
F G C
Searchlights circle, where we lost our way
C Am G F
All our accidents were purposeful and felt
C Am G F
Stripped of providence or any way to tell
C Am G F
But our intentions were intangible and sweet
C Am G
Sick with simple math and shy discoveries
F G
Piled up against our impending defeat.
