| Patrick Wolf – The Childcatcher Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Quote from an interview: What about "The Childcatcher" - a song that has lines like "you gave me shoes and pretty clothes and I gave you what I had between my legs"? There are surely elements of abuse in there. "Yeah - it was a certain relationship, I was 15 at the time but I was still a child. It wasn't like I was 6-years-old, I was 15. I was still mentally a child and the person knew I was still mentally a child. It's hard to communicate at the time because it's like a complicated thing, but maybe put it into the context of a child being eight-years-old or seven-years-old; it was an easy way of communicating what was actually happening. But then there's also the other side that five years later, like [when I was] 19 I wrote the second part where it comes in with the voice of the person who did the abuse, and it turns out 'Oh come on, you know, it wasn't so much an abuse, maybe you just weren't ready for it. Maybe you enjoyed it?'" --- Anyway, I love this song. It's amazing how much passion he sings with. I like to listen to this song with headphones on to cancel anything out, as it's one of those songs where you keep discovering new things you didn't realise. |
