An amazing ending to an amazing album. Creg Finn is one of the most talented lyricists around today. Most of his stuff isn't even lyrics, more like poems set to music. But regardless, he is an amazing storyteller.
The song tells of Holly the hoodrat, finally getting what she wanted. She suffers a near death experience and realizes that there is more to life than getting high and sleeping around. She says that she's laid beneath her lovers but never gotten laid. Meaning that she's had a lot of sex, but never actually felt any sense of love involved.
The preist at her church and the deacon laugh at her, writing her off as a lost cause until she comes back clean, sober, and pure. She's a classic example of the underdog. A beautiful disaster. Nobody cared or wanted her to pull through except for the person who is telling all of the stories. (we can assume it's Creg.)
And through all she's endured and all the things she's seen, she chooses to live clean. And at the end she is telling people to stay away from her with bad influeces, because she doesn't want to get turned on to it all again.
And seperation sunday ends happily ever after. :)
