The Meg And Dia Band – Fighting For Nothing Lyrics 14 years ago
When I was younger,
I wish that I would have known better.
Better love makes a fat romance,
Lasts for more than a shoe-shine.

I’m older,
Took all the words of my mother
saying, “it could be worse
Could be born with that disease,
Instead of catching it first.”

So, let’s go back
to the first time
that I met you
In your Chevy,
with your hands stretched
and me crying, screaming, “mercy! mercy!”
But, I know that
I was put here
to fight Vikings
In a cold war;
With my arms out
In the front singing, “dare me! dare me!”

These things take time, love.
These things take backbone.
And, they’ll tell you what you wanna hear ‘cause they think it’s better. Better.
But, you better know how
to point out the liars.
You’ve got to weigh your wars:
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing.
Are you fighting for nothing? Nothing.

It feels like this world has
been growing slowly upside-down;
Maybe I should move to China,
(straighten this mess out). [overlap]
Maybe I’ll be a poet,
Watch all the sky for falling words;
Write about my grandma’s curtains
or the lady who put the chinese buffet in her purse.

I’ve got my mouth.
It’s a weapon.
It’s bombshell.
It’s a cannon.
I’ve got my words:
I won’t give them mercy, mercy!!

These things take time, love.
These things take backbone.
And, they’ll tell you what you wanna hear ‘cause they think it’s better. Better.
But, you better know how
to point out the liars.
You’ve got to weigh your wars:
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing.
Are you fighting for nothing? Nothing.

I’ve got my words.
I hope they hurt you.
I hope they scar you.
I hope they heal you.

I hope they cut you open,
make you see you’ve been warring
for all the wrong reasons.
Make you see that some things were worth bruising for.
Make you see that your name is your honor code.
Make you see that your hands?
you’re accounted for.
Pick and choose where your sweat and your blood will go.
Make you see your life’s not to be lived alone!
Run the spit through your hair:
You’re worth nothing!
Nothing!

These things take time, love.
These things take backbone.
And, they’ll tell you what you want to hear ‘cause they think it’s better. Better.
But, you better know how
to point out the liars.
You’ve got to weigh your wars:
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing.
These things take time, love.
These things take backbone.
And, they’ll tell you what you want to hear ‘cause they think it’s better. Better.
But, you better know how
to point out the liars.
You’ve got to weigh your wars:
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing.

Are you fighting for nothing? Nothing.

Tegan and Sara – Don't Rush Lyrics 15 years ago
You guys will get a KICK out of this.
In an interview, Tegan said this song was originally called "Bad Idea" because that was the name she had the girl she was interested in listed as.
And, this was her reminder to not call too much, don't rush .. have a reminder in your phone to not call her when drunk or sad or something that will rush things in that state or mind .....because it's a BAD IDEA.

Tegan and Sara – Alligator Lyrics 15 years ago
It's actually not about cheating.
While, in one video she DOES say that Alligator reminds her of an older experience of being denied by a friends' mom she could be a sync. swimmer.

but in a long interview, she explains that she and emy finally broke up. ....serious tears here. and she even clarifies that it WASN'T because of cheating or her liking someone else more. that it just fell apart with no specific reason to even hold onto. any reason.

.......and this has GOT to be about that breakup. :( ugh, that's heartwrenching.

Tegan and Sara – Clever Meals (Version 2) Lyrics 15 years ago
is there a reason that "voice 1" and "voice 2" aren't separated between Tegan and Sara's names. If you'd like that, here it is. (there were a couple words not quite right too regardless if you want who sings what :)

{TEGAN}
They aren't desperate for love and affection. No, they're desperate for you. And, as you sit out there all sly and sure I've won, does anyone think strongly true as you do? I'm quite sure we'll find one another, in a place better than this - a time filled with us.

And we send up our shooting stars and comets. And we make our little gestures, 'cause we make our little comments.

This song is my anthem and it makes up my ideals; and who I am has benefited from all my cleverly planned meals ...all my cleverly planned meals.

I'm stripped and vital and I see rules that almost fit. So if I voice my opinion would you stay and sit; and as I stand here screaming in despair oh i said:

{TEGAN AND SARA}
Yes this is my life, and yes you should care.
{TEGAN}
This song is my anthem, and it makes up my ideals.
{SARA} (Close your eyes)

{TEGAN} And who I am has
{SARA} (Free your mind)
{T} benefited from all my
{S} (You're free to fly.)
{T} cleverly planned meals
{S} (Just say close your eyes.)
{T} all my cleverly planned meals
{S} (free your mind; you're free to fly}

{TEGAN}
Hardly happy at all and I'm ready to take the fall; 'cause we pay for the stupid things we've done where we come from.
{TEGAN AND SARA}
Can you sit through this; or is it gonna be too deep? Will you ever use common sense it comes pretty cheap. So, if I speak more clearly if I make more sense,

{TEGAN}
Will you JUST shut your mouth; you won't come across so dense.
{Still TEGAN}
Close your eyes and then you free your mind; I'm free to fly.
{TEGAN and SARA}
Close you eyes and then you free your mind; you're free to fly. (x2)
She said close your eyes, yes, free your mind; you're free to fly. (x2)

{IN SYNC, but SARA carries out)
Close youuuuuuuuuuuurrr
{TEGAN} Close your eyes, free your mind, free to fly.
Close your eyes.

{SARA}
Close your eyes.
I will free your mind; you're free to fly.

{TEGAN}
This song is my anthem and it makes up my ideals; and who I am has benefited from my cleverly planned meals.
....all my cleverly planned meals.
