Protestant Lyrics
Domine exaudi orationem meam. Domine exaudi orationem meam.
I always wanted to be a Catholic…but, I was cursed in being a Protestant.
Oh the life…to recite the right words I should pray.
Oh the life…to not have to decide what to wear everyday.
But, I am just a snake handler, emotion-as-a-drug dealer, a tv pitch wheeler screamer.
I make it all up as I go. Then, sell it as a video. See Betty at the tape table, tape table.
I’m in love with an Irish boy whose penetrating eyes pierce my chest and steal my breath.
Inter
With myrhh
In moonlight,
Eternal Passion Song.
Lecturn
in stained
glass sunlight,
place grace upon my tongue.
Domine exaudi orationem meam.
Where I’m from everyone is catholic…but, somehow I was born being protestant.
All my life, it was meetings in basements and abandoned schools.
All my life, it was windowless, sound-baffled, beige, barren rooms.
But, I would see them in the evenings going to their special teachings and hear next-day- storytellings.
This is where the first line’s drawn and you can feel which side you’re on. Still,
robes and smoke leave me in awe, so in awe.
I love an Italian boy with a beatific touch. Place your hands where it’s relevant.
Inter
With myrhh
In moonlight,
Eternal Passion Song.
Lecturn
in stained
glass sunlight,
place grace upon my tongue.
Place your martyr mouth where my mouth shouts.
Place your mosaic mouth where my mouth shouts.
Oh the life…to recite the right words I should pray.
Oh the life…to not have to decide what to wear everyday.
But, I am just a snake handler, emotion-as-a-drug dealer, a tv pitch wheeler screamer.
I make it all up as I go. Then, sell it as a video. See Betty at the tape table, tape table.

So, I love KY. And this is not meant to disparage her in any way. But remember the FIRST time Morrissey kicked her off his tour? It was because she said, during her set, "Morrissey gives great head...and by that I mean cunnilingus." So, I don't believe Moz is actually celibate. And I think he and KY were possibly having a sexual relationship. The whole "I'm in love with an Irish boy..." I think she is referring to him. And the whole, "His grace upon my tongue," I think think may be about oral sex. And obviously the "place your mouth where my mouth shouts," is about kissing someone, and them setting your mind at ease.
In fact, I think the majority of songs on Music for Stippers, Hookers...are about their relationship. Stop Thinking, He's Sickened by My Crude Emotion ("Those Brit boys love their discourse."), You Must Love Me, Everybody Wants Me to Cry ("Can't believe all along you were out there," - though that could be about anyone I guess), Halfway Across the Atlantic Ocean...
I don't know. Maybe I am reaching here.
