Sloan - Unkind Lyrics






Well are you ready
For this to take a hold of you
The contradiction
Of what you're putting me through
It drives me crazy
But then that's nothing new
It takes a hold of you

I don't know why
Don't know why you have to cross that line
You cross that line where you can be so kind sometimes
And you can be unkind sometimes
I don't know why
Don't know why you have to cross that line
You cross that line where you can be so kind sometimes
And you can be unkind sometimes

Well it's your talent
You suck the life out of the room
A revelation
You peal the lies off of the truth
But you don't know me
You haven't got a clue
You suck the life out of the room

I don't know why
Don't know why you have to cross that line
You cross that line where you can be so kind sometimes
And you can be unkind sometimes
I don't know why
Don't know why you have to cross that line
You cross that line where you can be so kind sometimes
And you can be unkind sometimes
I don't know why
Don't know why you have to cross that line
You cross that line, yeah

(I don't know why)

Be unkind sometimes
And be so kind sometimes
(Don't know why you have to)
Be unkind sometimes
And be so kind sometimes
(Don't know why you have to)
Be unkind sometimes
And be so kind sometimes
(Don't know why you have to)
Be unkind sometimes
And be so kind sometimes
(Don't know why you have to)
Be unkind sometimes

    Just got into Sloan recently (heard them when I was younger but, I was into different music at the time); glad to hear that they're still putting out solid tunes!

  17. m.... ....

    Thank God for Sloan.

    Except that time when I went to one of their concerts and it was like a police state to get in there. I found it impossible to consume my drugs and alcohol, get high, and enjoy the show, and I got the idea that was part of the plan. I resented it for a long time, but Im totally over it now.

    m.... ....

    Was this at Rexall Place in Edmonton?

    These guys are great people to hang around with.

  30. e.... ....

    Fucking awesome.

  31. P.... F....

    The singer in this vid has a great voice!

    P.... F....

    That's Patrick "The Hit-Maker" Pentland. He is, in my opinion, their most talented member.

    P.... F....

    Chris Murphy is in my opinion. That guy can play drums like a mofo in concert. And he's the bass player.

    P.... F....

    Patrick Pentland. He's an awesome guy. Actually, all of the guys in Sloan are awesome.

    P.... F....

    Patrick "Write me another anthem" Pentland...love Sloan!

  32. C.... M....

    Pat %100 wrote this song about Chrislol, LOVE this band, what a great group of guys as well...SLOAN!!!

  33. i.... V....

    wtf only 300,000 views.... the feelings!!

  34. M.... ....

    Been a long while since I listened to Sloan... forgotten how good you guys were. Especially in this musical era we are in, strong songwriting and classic rock sensibilities are so appreciated. Pat and Murphy still as good singers as ever!

  35. R.... S....

    #stopwhitegenocide

  36. R.... K....

    AWESOME song! How could anyone possibly not groove this tune? EXCELLENT

  37. N.... M....

    They will be here at Summerfest in Milwaukee,WI tonite at 8:00pm CT  I might stop by for a minute. They sound ok, just ok lol  I like Quietdrive better.

  38. N.... ....

    This song sounds like a bad night out in a Calgary strip mall. People's brains really turn to fucking mush, eh? Poor old Sloan.

  39. F.... ....

    I can always count on Sloan to make a foot stomping, head banging good time.

    F.... ....

    @FlyingShazbot well said shazbot

    f.... t....

    R.I.P. Gord.

    f.... t....

    Big Wreck , you forgot Big Wreck (you could include Matt Good too)

    f.... t....

    @Ahmed Send glad to see you repping some quality Canadian content there! Matt Good has some badass song though and he deserves his place up there with the Rain Maida's and the Thornley's and Downey's of the world

    f.... t....

    @Ahmed Send we're talking SLOAN here, I'm comparing this to OLP, wreck, sugar, matt good, the hip, three days grace, sum 41, This was a special time

    f.... t....

    I take it ALL back, goodnight

  47. D.... ....

    The shitest song I've ever heard

    D.... ....

    Really.

    D.... ....

    Well, you're an idiot, then.

    D.... ....

    2 years later... still??

    D.... ....

    Crazy talk!

  48. J.... R....

    A moment of awesome brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Sloan!

    My ringtone for my ex (and the mother of my awesome child) is "Unkind" and one time while dropping off my daughter I asked my ex to give me a phone number. And of course she says "Wait I'll text it to you". And then...

    Well, it's your talent
    You suck the life out of the room
    A revelation
    You peel the lies off of the truth
    But you don't know it
    You haven't got a clue you suck the life out of the room

    The look on her face when it dawns on her why she is hearing this...And for a moment I shine in glorious light!

    Boy I am sure glad she didn't ask what picture I use for her on my phone. Now THAT would have been uncomfortable!

    J.... R....

    Omigosh...that's amazing...and sad.

  49. M.... ....

    This deserves to be a massive top 40 hit

  50. H.... ....

    Saw them last night! It was great :D

  51. Z.... R....

    Great, now I can't watch this without thinking of Greg Proops. Thanks a lot.
    You're totally right though.

  52. c.... s....

    played here tonight, one of the best bands to ever come out of Canada ! \m/

  53. b.... s....

    im going to there consert tomorrow!!!

  54. M.... D....

    I've just discovered Sloan and I love them; they're such an unique and amazing band.

    P.... M....

    P. Marion SLO-OANNNN!!!!!

  59. c.... s....

    wicked and so not heard enough

  60. M.... C....

    Unkind is the best song ever!!!!!! Sloan rules!!!!!!

  61. J.... ....

    I dunno, I hear at least one of theirs a day on my local station. Also a lot of 38 years old for some reason (never any other Hip song.

  62. t.... s....

    good rock just found this band from a friend

  63. D.... G....

    exactly... but don't worry...not every has the emotional capacity to understand words they hear ( some call them lyrics ) and be able to interpret their meaning .... words is tough.

  64. D.... S....

    re: What album is this from?

    XX (The Double Cross), Unkind is the third song in, give the whole album a listen, the first three tracks blend together INCREDIBLY well.

  65. b.... e....

    What album is this from?

  66. E.... T....

    Chris Murphy doesn't age at all, does he?

    E.... T....

    He looked like he was 35 even in the 90's

    E.... T....

    He will forever look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo.

  67. R.... R....

    still cant believe one of my childhood bands kicked us out of their show in saskatoon lol it was awesome

  68. M.... M....

    andrew always looks like that haha but even more so here yeah.

  69. J.... ....

    There's a good chance they were high while filming this? I'm high now, and I seem to understand Andrew's 'how to drum like Charlie Watts' drum technique. Its a hard thing to do, look like you don't give a crap and yet keep a beat. But you know what works better than music videos for feeling a song..close your eyes and listen...and watch out for moose. sorry, just bugging ya buddy..its a great song though isn't it?

  70. J.... ....

    That was very well put my friend. And as a Sloan fan, I care too.

  71. S.... ....

    Ok, I can live with the adverts that keep our you tube vids 'free' but what the eff is with vevo's banner blocking 1/3 of the vid and not going away. EFFFFF OFFFFF.

  72. S.... ....

    We cross that line when you pierce the sword of hurt so deep you don't even know you've touched the pain. Then we strike with the vengeance of a viper and the wail of a Banshee. Just saying........thought the guys might like some insight into the craziness.

  73. S.... ....

    I believe you nailed it.

  74. J.... ....

    One of the best bands ever.

  75. L.... S....

    i fucking love this song, but this video truly has to be one of the worst make. andrew looks totally bored and disinterested - and not in the "that's what we were going for sense". if it wasn't for chris it truly would be nothing.

  76. A.... M....

    I love Sloan!!

  77. C.... M....

    How did these guys stay so skinny?

  78. h.... ....

    Slooannnnneeeeeeeee .....ya!

  79. h.... ....

    d a g d chorus

    g and d verse (dd a a kinda thing before it i guess)

    bminor g d i think f#minor but maybe a

    as for everything else, idk

  80. c.... ....

    This is a great song, but a great band...BUT are they intentionally looking sooo bored in the video? Snooze! Wake up ya hosers!

  81. A.... ....

    ^Jon, you finally found the secret to Sloan, take 4 guys who are opposites of eachother, and force them to make music.

  82. m.... ....

    good song

  83. J.... A....

    could someone please post chords for this song?

  84. P.... ....

    They rocked the roof off of Louis here in Saskatoon last night!

  85. K.... R....

    I heard this song on the radio about 2 weeks ago and for some reason to me i like this song more than the other ones i've heard of theirs..

  86. R.... ....

    never seen them live and they were fantastic.

  87. h.... ....

    patrick looks pissed as always, chris is rocking the fuck out like the bass player he is, jay looks very distracted, and andrew is pretty much asleep

  88. k.... ....

    SLOAN TONIGHT IN EDMONTON!!!!

  89. j.... r....

    the drummer looks bored bahahah

  90. x.... ....

    SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAANN

  91. S.... C....

    ****"cough, cough, OK,OK..just added to list"****(...throat just punched)
    naw, I'm kidding... been loving these guys since 1991!

  92. e.... ....

    Hah I did that too! I heard this song and somehow the lyrics and sound stuck to me so I looked up "I don't know why you have to cross that line." It's so simple, it's nice. :)

  93. K.... M....

    awesome! :)

  94. s.... ....

    Awesome song! Awesome band! Boring ass video

  95. J.... ....

    You worded that right...a self-respecting Canadian like GSP...we have too many of the opposite mind set online these days claiming to represent our nation. PS...that GSP comment was meant as a joke.

  96. f.... ....

    A true self-respecting Canadian like GSP wouldn't even imagine saying something like that about Sloan.

  97. J.... ....

    If GSP said it, would you still try to throat punch? I would..cause I agree with you. Sure he'd kick our asses, but he'd learn his lesson..somehow.

  98. C.... ....

    Their fans still care, it's just the mainstream that doesn't. But that's ok, cause mainstream music sucks and Sloan's too good for the mainstream.

  99. s.... b....

    Sloan *
