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.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Neno
VERSE 1:
F C
Just one more drink and then I
Bb F
should be on my way home.
I'm not entirely sure
what you're talking about.
I've had a really nice time,
but my dogs need to be fed.
I must say that in the right light
you look like Shackelton.
CHORUS:
F C
Comment allez-vous ce soir?
Bb F
Je suis comme ci comme ca.
Yes a penguin taught me French back
in Antartica.
VERSE 2:
F C
Oh, I could show you the way
Bb F
shadows colonize snow.
Ice breaking up on the bay
off the Lassiter coast.
Light falling over the pole as
every longitude leads
up to your frost bitten feet
Oh you're very sweet.
CHORUS:
F C
Thank you for the flowers and the
Bb F
book by Derrida,
but I must be getting back to
dear Antarctica.
BRIDGE:
F
Say do you have a ship
Bb
and a dozen able men
C
that maybe you could lend me?
Comments/ratings/corrections welcome. Enjoy!
FIN.
