Freddie, Please

I don't think this is from Matthew Shepherd's point of view. I think it's supposed to be from Jesus to Fred Phelps.

Great song written from Matthew Shepard's (sp?) point of view. Lyrics are wrong as of 11-7-09, as there aren't any yet.

Freddie, please How could you do this to me How could you tell me you love me When you hate me Freddie, please

You know I love ya, honey I bleed you dry with money I'll talk where I know you can hear 'Cause Freddie, can't you see, brother you're the one who's queer

Freddie, please How could you do this to me How could you tell me you love me When you hate me Freddie, please

And the stone's been rolled away But you're picketing my grave For love and the things you hate And why do you seek the living among the dead?

Freddie, please How could you do this to me How can you tell them you love me When you hate me Freddie, please

When you hate me Freddie, please

When you hate me Freddie, please

I'm pretty sure its addressed to Fred Phelps (godhatesfags.com).

I thought to myself, with Fred being a 'minister,' as he calls himself, and me being a spiritual kind of guy, I thought, I can't predict the future and I can't see inside of any people or anything, but what if Jesus were faced with Fred Phelps? How would a conversation like that go, between Jesus and Fred Phelps? So I thought about that for awhile ... and it seemed to me the right thing to do when I wrote the song, all things being equal, it felt like the most poetic thing to do to write the song as a 50s doo-wop love song to Fred from Jesus."
