She used to hide the miraculous medal in a drawer
every time she'd do something that Padre Pio shouldn't see
she used to hide the miraculous medal in a drawer
every time that I knocked on her door and she opened to me
Supposedly young then, but I felt old
she called me a loser with no goals
so I spat in her face and I asked her out
a heart made of waste meat basted in doubt
thumped in my chest as I confessed
and who woulda thunk it?
who woulda guessed?
who would've thought that girl said 'yes'
Her skin is warm
under her uniform
we've already started
friction burns from the carpet
Here he comes like a dart
to tear me apart
He wastes no time
and now I'm
buried in the back garden
buried in the back garden
I am buried
in the back garden of the last of the faithful Catholics of Killinarden
She used to hide the miraculous medal in a drawer
every time she inclined to meddle in something
more than the catholic catechism had provided
for the body and blood that she gave up down on the floor
The Poor Servants of the Mother of God
had they observed, may have felt it odd
the way she smiled through her braces
and our three legged races
brought her to places I never should
brought her to places that felt so good
Her skin is warm
under her uniform
we've already started
friction burns from the carpet
Here he comes like a dart
to tear me apart
He wastes no time
and now I'm
buried in the back garden
buried in the back garden
I am buried
in the back garden of the last of the faithful Catholics of Killinarden
Now she hides the miraculous medal in a drawer
she believes that she's done something the holy father'd rather ignore
now she hides the miraculous medal in a dark corner
pushing aside the net curtain,
she's wide to the Garda Síochána
This is an album I made in collaboration over the internet with two fine musicians back home in Dublin Ireland. There is a very interesting mix of styles, tones and rhythms. Dan Ball
