Damien Rice – Baby Sister Lyrics 17 years ago
Oh yeah, and I think the "Ave Maria..." emphasises the baby sister's innocence / virginity if it had not been for her abusive father, seeing as "Ave Maria..." is meant to praise the Virgin Mary.

Damien Rice – Baby Sister Lyrics 17 years ago
This song to me is clearly about sexual abuse:

"Did he fill your cup? Baby sister, keep drinking
Or he'll hit you
He'll bleach your eyes"

I think that's all pretty self-explanatory. I find the use of the verb "bleach" as a metaphor for coming particularly clever / beautiful (sad beauty, of course).
