Biografia:
A banda Weakerthans foi formada em 1997, em Winnipeg , Manitoba por John K. Samson , depois que ele deixou a banda de hardcore Propagandhi. John se juntou com o baixista John P. 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.

Capo 4
[Intro]
D/F# C G
D/F# C G
[Verse]
D/F# C G
Late afternoon, another day is nearly done
D/F# C G
A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one
D/F# C G
A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground
D/F# C
That hollow hurried sound
[Chorus]
Em D/F# C
Feet on polished floor
Em D/F# C
And in the dollar store
Em D/F# A
The clerk is closing up
C
And counting loonies trying not to say
G
I hate Winnipeg
[Verse]
D/F# C G
The driver checks the mirror seven minutes late
D/F# C G
The crowded riders' restlessness enunciates
D/F# C G
The Guess Who sucked, the Jets were lousy anyway
D/F# C
The same route everyday
[Chorus]
Em D/F# C
And in the turning lane
Em D/F# C
Someone's stalled again
Em D/F# A
He's talking to himself
C
And hears the price of gas repeat his phrase
G
I hate Winnipeg
[Break]
D/F# C G
D/F# C G
D/F# C
[Chorus]
Em D/F# C
And up above us all
Em D/F# C
Leaning into sky
Em D/F# C
Our golden business boy
Em D/F# C
Will watch the North End die
Em D/F# A
And sing, “I love this town”
C
Then let his arcing wrecking ball proclaim
C D/F# G
I Hate Winnipeg
G
