album by Tegan and Sara. The name was inspired by a Leonard Cohen song, "Came So Far For Beauty".
"I practiced all my sainthood/I gave to one and all/ But the rumors of my virtue/ They moved her not at all"

practicing Sainthood. That is, pretending to be someone you aren't; pretending to be good in order to get someone to like you.
