This song is another perfect example of Buckley's ingenuis lyrics. "I've been blessed with a broken heart since the day I was born, cleansed in the water the sons and the daughters, stripped of the sins we're destined for..." To me these lines display a paradox, a lot of us are baptized to protect of from sins that we diddnt even commit yet. However unless you are aborted at birth we are all destined to "sin" I love the line "Only sinners become better men" Its lines like these that seems simple but evoke so much thought in the listener, to me this shines light on the frustrating notion that a bad man turned good has a more favorible judge of character than someone who was just good from the start. All these lyrics are gold, I could go on forever...
