Worms Lyrics

Cover art for Worms lyrics by Beth Orton

I love this song. I listen to it over and over trying to figure out what it means. To me its about an atheistic (or anti organized religion) women involved with a religious man. Her feelings seem to be unrequited which has led to the bitterness. The "worms" and "chickens" are examples of a faulty God. It has such a beautiful despondent sadness.
