heaven help me how can this be?
well we all tend to be jerks in our youth!
gnashing and biting and chomping at the bit
without a sense or an intuition of the pain that comes because of it
no need to apologize
if you could see it from my eyes
you are a sweet, sweet man
and you are a wonderful father
and you’ll remain that way
your intent it has the weight to guide the rest of us.
heaven help me how can i be
this lost and cauterized? i just want to run and hide
and these mistakes we make aren’t ours to bear or internalize
and how i wish i could take my own advice!
because i am a mess you see
i’m afraid to try because i might die
you are a sweet, sweet man
and you are a wonderful father
and you’ll remain that way
your intent it has the weight to guide the rest of us.
The UK punks' capacity for merging the personal, political, and parochial is so well-developed that it borders on the alchemical. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 7, 2022
