"The Saint" is a song from the British pop duo Thompson Twins, which was released in 1992 as the second single from eighth studio album Queer.
[2] Upon its release as a single, James Hamilton, writing for the Record Mirror update in Music Week, described "The Saint" as a "Alannah Currie cooed and Tom Bailey muttered mushily churning chugger".
He described the "Feedback Max Remix" as "sombre piano plonked", the "Feedback Max Hard Groove" as "synth washed", the "LP Version" as "guitar yowled bounc[y] pop" and noted that David Morales' remixes were "more sparsely throbbing".
[3] Terry Staunton of NME stated, "Gone are the days of the poorly drawn cartoon pop and Alannah Currie's silly hats.
[5] Accrington Observer gave a three out of five star rating and wrote, "It begins with Enigma-ish synths, Alannah has a few breathy vocals and Tom repeats 'I'm praying to the saint of the groove' numerous times.
