Nettie Lyrics
Nettie, no need to cry
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
In the dark bathed in Cathode ray blue
Miss Red Hook of 1922
Weeping silently for the pain of others
Every night a tearful rosary
A victim of the curse of empathy
Her reward of compassion is to suffer
Nettie, no need to cry
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
My short coming I know I caused her grief
Still she loves me. This I can't believe!
Responding not with anger but a prayer
Heaven's just Southwest of Cobbil Hill
True. I am the son of an angel
Maternally, not one woman compares
Nettie, no need to cry
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
If you fall, I will catch you
When you're lost. I'll be there soon
Far away, but of course near
When you're sad I am always here
Thank you from saving me from myself
Your compassion became its own hell
Unequivocally Beautiful inside and out
Without a doubt
Nettie, no need to cry
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
Miss Red Hook of 1922
Weeping silently for the pain of others
Every night a tearful rosary
A victim of the curse of empathy
Her reward of compassion is to suffer
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
Still she loves me. This I can't believe!
Responding not with anger but a prayer
Heaven's just Southwest of Cobbil Hill
True. I am the son of an angel
Maternally, not one woman compares
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
When you're lost. I'll be there soon
Far away, but of course near
When you're sad I am always here
Your compassion became its own hell
Unequivocally Beautiful inside and out
Without a doubt
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes

This song is actually about his mother. Peter said so himself in an interview.
@cyberiouse he had a girlfriend before he was born (1922)? lol
Seriously! I can't believe it took 2-4 years for someone to tell cyberiouse(?) something along the lines of "you're a fucking moron who has no idea what a song is about, so you make up a load of crap." Thank YOU!

OMG That is so sad! This is my favorite song from Life is Killing Me, and it means so much to me, I wanna cry after reading cyberiouse's description of the song... It's so beautiful! Thank you...
Yeah, beautiful song. I didn't know the story behind it. Thanks for sharing that, cyberiouse. I can relate to the lyrics because I know someone who is just like that.
ya, Todd's Ship Gods is about his dad and Nettie is about his mom, i assume while he was growing up.
"True, I am the son of an angel Maternally, not one woman compares"
Obviously about his mother. That 'cyberiouse' person needs to stop making up stories about songs and claiming them to be true.

this song is about his mom and not girlfirend or anything u C*&T
His mother is Nettie, that's what the family calls her. It's about her... it's really a beautiful song
he says "unequally beautiful", not "unequivocally"
