about

Fredericton NB natives She Roars began as a band in late 2007 and has been making an impact with east coast audiences ever ... more since. Their ability to fuse infective, energizing pop melodies with the raw power of crowd pulsing punk rock has lead them to a sound that is equally daring in its approach as it is palatable to the mainstream public. less

Track Name: Petty Thieves
I’d rather all my things broken then repaired
Than lost due to carefulness
You said as you squint with the sun in your eyes
But you're always leaving when the getting out is easy
Nevermind or mend my words
You said cause you are good to go
You're still working out the problem of the season
Your feet move slow in the snow
But still

No matter

What we do
We’re all just petty thieves
Who steal what we can use
And head to a place
Where they can’t find us
Never again
Will you see the sights
You recognize as home
If you keep following
A foreign compass

Settle down little vixen I’ll do what I can
This place is shaking but won’t fall down
If anyone makes it out
it’ll be us
Still you’re the kind of girl who says
The getting out is easy
Nevermind or tend my words
Cause you can’t say
Why you don’t go
I just know that up your sleeve you got your reasons
Hiding in cars from the cold
But still
no matter

What we do
We’re all just petty thieves
Who steal what we can use
And head to a place
Where they can’t find us
Never again
Will you see the sights
You recognize as home
That familiar brick
Is cracked and crumbled

I know I’m
The part of this that hurts
And you’re
Like an author that forgets to read
And when
I write what I should say
My words and my strings
They don’t get along

All of the voices that you’ll never live down
Shake your reasons to free them from your weakened hands
But if it has slipped
Its something you can let go
Cause if its worth it it'd still be there
All of the voices that you’ll never live down
Shake your reasons to free them from your weakened hands
But if it has slipped
Its something you can let go
Cause if its worth it it'd be in your hands

No matter
What we do
We’re all just petty thieves
Who steal what we can use
And head to a place
Where they can’t find us
Never again
Will you see the sights
You recognize as home
If you keep following
A foreign compass
Track Name: Jacquie's Secret
met a guy
Wearing a dark argyle sweater he said
I’m only doin’ impressions
He said
They’re just for a laugh
Never lessons
He’s already learned the songs she knows
And he’ll wait till the timings right
He’ll use them to tell her how he feels
Cause they’ve already said it better

When he winds up in the rain
He’ll decide to stay all night
Then he’ll wake up in a garden
With grass stained jeans
When he wants to make a mess
He’ll find a way to count her in
Then they’ll be getting dirty and they’re feet won’t go in first
The city’s like a light bright don’t wait it’s the right time go

She’s got a secret
She likes to hang out at the edge of herself
She digs her feet into the sand waiting for the ocean to meet her
But she never sticks around
She’ll look from far away cause that’s how she stays safe
From hurtful things

He’s packed a roll of duct tape and some copper wire
Cause he wants to find out if he can rebuild all the things that he has lost
She’s got a vacuum cleaner and a telescope
Hopefully she can suck up all the clouds so that she can see the stars
Track Name: Carpenter
Oh come on let's be towers
Don’t worry we can hang out at the top
Don’t want to start from the bottom up
Or lay it brick by brick.

I want to buy a dictionary
And then cross out the word “More”
I’d like to date a secretary
And write about her
Long brown hair and her amber rimmed glasses.

If you walk right in we can
Get started on teaching you
All the things you thought you
Knew
And if you talk to me
You got
Your good intentions frontin’
But for the wrong ideas
He says he’s got it all
He says he’s got it all (Live I say: its cause she’s got it all)

It’s my design
But I don’t know how to build it
I’ve been taught so many things
Like to rely on someone else
To rely on someone else
Like to rely on someone else

If you walk right in we can
Get started on teaching you
All the things you thought you
Knew
And if you talk to me
You got
Your good intentions frontin’
But for the wrong ideas
He says he’s got it all

Oh but please don’t freak it out
It’ll be ok
It may be loud
But it will fade
And we’ll wear
bright coloured scarves
Cause it’s
All the rage
And all those
Messed up kids
They just
Want
A getaway
They just want to get away
Or just get get get get in
They just want to get away
Or just get get get get in

(SCAT)

What are you saying girl
Wait wait wait wait
Track Name: European Influence (On Western Culture)
Oh Please don’t own up
You’ve had enough
Your allowed to mislead them this one time
You can play pass the blame
It’ll be the same
As kids games gone wrong
No one’s judging your character
No reader no narrator
A secret storyline
Don’t tell a soul
I’m just hoping its not a thing
That will teach you to hold back

Just don’t hold back no no
Just don’t hold back
Just don’t hold back no no

We’ll work it out
When the time is right
We’ll lay down and write our words in the carpet
But all it’ll be
Is another attempt
From a guy
Who’ll be letting you down
If by chance you let this evening progress
It’ll be a regretful happy ending
Just relax
Trust your fingers and hands
They will know if your wanting
Not wanting this

I deserved every harsh word I got
Now kiss me like it won’t mess this up
Right now I am freezing
So an we just pause this
And we can finish somewhere warm

You know that this comes in waves
Lets fool around like little kids coming of age
And by the way
You look just like and angel baby
Oh oh oh
You look like that kind of girl
Who falls for standard lines
Despite you knowing the words
You know the type of guys
But I’m not messing around
No no my collars not popped
But I can’t hear with this sound
Can we just take a walk

We’ll work it out
When the time is right
We’ll lay down and write our words in the carpet
But all it’ll be
Is another attempt
From a guy
Who’ll be letting you down
If by chance you let this evening progress

It’ll be a regretful happy ending
Just relax
Trust your fingers and hands
They will know if your wanting
Not wanting this

Oh its happened again
Exactly how I planned
Just flip the lens

I’m waiting alone in this city light
I feel the wood under my feet
Why can’t I drink this off of me
I’ve walked out too far to hear the sounds of night
The balcony looks down on me
From far away away away way
I’ve sent all the signals
I hope the frequencies are right
There’s no expecting a response
Cause they are tangled in
The lines
That I’ve drawn around myself
I hope to find
A way to cross them and to get back home tonight
Track Name: Making Waves
Tonight,
Is the coldest of nights
Don’t worry will still on course
I think that we’re still on course
I’ve checked the numbers
Had them rechecked
The captain’s pacing the deck
I’m getting nervous

So You know it’s not the way
We both decided what we wanted
So you know its not the way
To spend these summer nights

So You know it’s not the way
We both decided what we wanted
So you know its not
That you’ve been shruggin it off
On your way out of here

Through the waves
The rain
And the haze
I saw a figure on the water
Reaching up
And pulling me down
Cause sorry’s not something I say
Wait for this end
We’re safe from this end

We’ve never been this way
We’ve not seen land for days
The captain, (and) crew
Been asking questions
I have no answers
I’ve failed the crew and captain
My god I let this happen
Will god or any of you forgive me for what Ive done

So You know it’s not the way
We both decided what we wanted
So you know its not the way
To spend these summer nights

So You know it’s not the way
We both decided what we wanted
So you know its not
That you’ve been shruggin it off
On your way out of here
Track Name: White Flag Warfare
Don’t expect me to hold your hand
But don’t worry I won’t go on ahead
If you get lost then just follow my lead
If you want to go it’s a 3 time tug on my sleeve

Your chest tightens up
But it’s empty all the same

Chills run up your back
Feels like when the TV’s snowing
The words you’ve locked behind your teeth
Are exactly what will set you free
Stop staring at your feet
It will only make it worse
When you look around the room
Feels like your breathing in reverse
But this is all just self-constructed
So leave your head we’ll drink forget it

I’ll provide your cover
I know your brave enough to run it
Just keep those eyes open wide and you’ll see
That not everyone is shooting
So keep your body moving
If you can find
A place to hide
I’ll meet you soon

I’m not sorry
It’s too late to back out
Don’t say you’ll come another day
Another time
You cannot deal with what they say
Even though you’re not even listening
Your eyes fixed on the flames in the middle of
Afraid to see low lit faces that lie just above
The words you let escape your lips
Emerge as air and push the silence

If I let it go another minute
You say that everyone will notice
You could not be further from it but I know how this works and I get what your saying
But these thoughts are not shared

I see the Ink
Fading from your wrist
Every Sip you take
Comes out through your skin

Take it easy
Just breathe and…

She is looking at you
I wont be that far away

Now aren’t you glad that you came
Too
Track Name: Gods and Ghosts
This is the kingdom
That you held so dear
With its big stone walls to keep you safe
You’ve been up there looking down for years
Except that you’ve been counting day by day
Keep on the look out for gods and ghosts
They said
These are the figures to note
Don’t wake me up it’s the most important part
And with fire lit walls you realize who you saw

Feels like your missing out
Well then come and get in
But if you bring what breaks
Don’t come at all
Don’t come in
You can lead the way
To your secret estate
Where you lay down, look up

You’ll learn the names of the worlds till you get it right

Now won’t you please climb down
And leave your safety
I will bring you back in time
They’ll still be sleeping
Mix all your worries
With kerosene
They will light us on our journey

Feels like your missing out
Well then come and get in
But if you bring what breaks
Don’t come at all
Don’t come in
You can lead the way
To your secret estate
Where you lay down, look up
You’ll learn the names of the worlds till you get it right

I will go out in the night
I will come back
I may be out of your sight
I will come back
We’ll build a castle of string
Pillows bed sheets
I might go out for some things
I will come back
I will come back
I will
I will

Keep on the lookout
For gods and ghosts
They said
These are the figures to note
Track Name: Hotel Room
I have a corner bed
Located in the best room of the house
Looking out over the water
That’s a lie that’s a lie oh
Now all I see is a construction site
That’s been there for years
I refuse to believe

That they’re still building
That they’re still building

Her timing is a lost dog with cataracts
Should I come
Should I leave
Should I look up
I’m just tired of dropping bys
Followed by quick goodbyes
When I know that more should come from her
I’ll set the stage
Write the play
Every time the lines are used as much as bright red capes
Maybe once a year
When I’m tired of being not something
So I’ll be something I’m not

From a hotel room
I believe that I’ve come
To a purposely uninteresting place
The only thing that’s a tad out of state
Are two shirts of four socks
And an unmade bed full of pushover thoughts
I should have cut her off

Now it’s too late to talk
You took it, you got it, just go
I’d rather be alone

From a hotel room
I believe that I’ve come
To a purposely uninteresting place
The only thing that’s a tad out of state
Are two shirts of four socks
And an unmade bed full of pushover thoughts
I should have cut her off
I should have oh I I should have
Cut her off

Where’s your clothes
where’s your clothes
Track Name: Apparently She's A Chemist
Written by Max LeBlanc and Kyle Clark
Composed by She Roars
Track Name: Some Bridges
You’re not my prophet
But I can be your alchemist
We can get together
We’ll never know
Lets see what mixes
We’ll have a night
Where we share a bottle of your cheapest
We can tell the world
“Don’t talk at me, talk to me”

Now lets plan our escape
They won’t notice we’re gone
If we time it all just right
We can outrun the clocks
We will never know if we don’t go

So you know it’s not a lie
Its in your reach
Between the streets
The buildings telling stories

You don’t hear a word
Your headphones in
To shut out the world and
When you look at the sky sometimes
In search of hope
A way to cope
Never with a way for you to make a change
Look back your hands and hit skip skip play

Now lets plan our escape
They won’t notice we’re gone
If we time it all just right
We can outrun the clocks
We will never know if we don’t go
Now lets plan our escape
They won’t notice we’re gone
If we time it all just right
We can outrun the clocks
We will never know if we don’t go

We’ll stop shaking it off
And let it in
We’ll do what we want
Despite anything
Some bridges you cross
And don’t look back
Some bridges should burn
Should burn should burn

Pour the gas
Light a match
Take a step back
Never wonder
It was never worth going back

Some bridges should burn should burn should burn.
