Joe Lyrics

Joe will you be my buddy please
Stay with me when I fall and die
Always thought you'd come rushing in
Clear the shit out of my eye

Joe will you be my buddy please
Lay my enemies out in lines
Come in close now I'll wash your feet
With my hair I'll mop them dry

With my hair I'll mop them dry
Something over there I do not like
There's no use to wondering

Joe will you be my buddy please
In this hell and day long time
When I'm trusting my hated tree
Cut me down with your silver knife

Cut me down with your silver knife
Something over there I do not like
There's no use to wondering

isn't silver knife a reference to Hercules or some other deity?

The washing with hair is obviously a reference to Mary magdelene.

a silver knife is often a symbol of purity and virginity, this interpretation seems to fit witht the rest of the album; 'sheela na gig', for example
