His father died the day he was born
Slowly turning blue in the cold grey dawn
But we never talk about that stuff
The family called it a heart attack
Over time a lie becomes a fact if it’s repeated often enough
The hardcore shows, the indie films
The summer’s evening gold
Middle classes slumming it with girls he used to know
All that talk of how we’re all alone
Left him dreaming in the dark for something real
Don’t take me home
This is how we feel
Now let’s get healed!
When his mother held his hand in church
And wept and gnashed her teeth to dirt
It was like a birth it fucking hurt
Though he’d just been born he was born again
And he couldn’t wait for it to end
Yeah God bless me but God help them
The hardcore shows and the indie films
The sunlight through the trees
Middle classes slumming it with girls from factories
All that talk of love and faith and need
Left him reaching out for something he could feel
Don’t take me home
This is how we feel
So let’s get healed!
