lyrics

(Woh …
Woh …)

Holy water. cross myself
Holy water. cross myself
Leaking into every crevice
Holy water fills my eyes
I never asked to be baptised
But I was judged and I was sentenced

Oh, how my childhood self was coerced and bent
They buried it deep and put me to sleep
To hell I was sent

Holy water fills the street
In the rivers and the creeks
Polluting and dividing
Holy water in the sewers
It’s never gonna cure
All the misery and violence

But oh, how my life, so long, is so short tonight
It’s dark like a moat
I’m trying to float towards the light
Cross myself

(Woh…)
Cross myself
(Woh…)

Holy water in the veins
Of the missiles and the planes
Raining down from heaven
As the young man plants the bomb
On the road to kingdom come
Is he blasted to his senses?

Oh, how the village burned and the sky turned red
The witches were drowned, the children were found
All silent in bed
Cross myself

(Woh…)
Cross myself
(Woh…)
Cross myself
(Woh…)
Cross myself
Cross myself

Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here. Jacqui L
