Layin’ in the bullrushes with my new best friend

Watching all the pretty people flashing desperate grins

 

And I wanted you yes I wanted you

But I’m soft and small

That’ll never do

 

But I’m just a fool that you barely know

Age too fast and I move too slow

Suffocating down below

‘Cause I hide my heart so it never shows and its…

 

I’ve offered benediction, lit some candles too

Still these filthy pedophiles block my path to you

There’s a free-for-all in the shower stall if you’ve got the nerve if you’ve got the balls

Hide My Heart

We open with this song a lot, both live and in rehearsals. The intro is so cool, especially since Rob came up with a response riff to my A chord permutation. A simple tale of teenage love and pedophilia, HMH “critically” examines a seamy aspect of Catholicism with a level of viciousness that only a self-obsessed pretentious “moralist” (and fallen Catholic) could muster. Alternate title: “Why I Can’t Get Laid”.
