977 Lyrics

Every time I end up waking up
In some hotel without my
Set of keys
Coming to, remembering the way
Your turned me out when I was
On my knees
You think that was
One up for you
But I know I scored something too

When I see the way you have to struggle
Just to do a little simple thing
I feel apologetic
Just because I'm not particularly suffering
So I let you take me down
I'm like your rent-a-clown

When I saw my baby cry
I knew that he loved me
That was some great victory
He cried because of me
He hit me with his belt
But his tears were all I felt
When I saw my baby cry
I knew he loved me

When you try and cut me down
And push me back
If I attack your attitude
I rise up to the challenge 'cause
I like to taste the sugar of your violent mood
Just like a stormy sea
You're natural
Poetry to me

When I saw my baby cry
I knew that he loved me
That was some great victory
He cried because of me
He hit me with his belt
But his tears were all I felt
When I saw my baby cry
I knew he loved me
I knew he loved me

Why is this song called 977? I scoured the internet for a reference but am just as clueless!

@bertholdkirsch Chrissie sings as an uncredited male,(Newby or Fish) who is doing time and is deeply involved in an abusive relationship with another guy who is doing life for murder, while incarcerated in Block 9- cell #77.

I came here looking for meaning of the title too. I'll check back later. The song is kind of beautiful and kind of awful! (He hit me with his belt )
