Cover art for The Bootleg Saint lyrics by Sam Roberts

"You can't set up some kind of a bootleg saint, so take my advice and cut it out. Be content with the facts you have, or think you have, and don't push anything too far–or you might get a little bit strange yourself." -- Robertson Davies, Fifth Business
