about

8 – Holy Fingers – this one was written and rewritten a few times and nearly drove us mad – serious topic – dealing with clerical child sexual abuse – in particular how the former head of the Catholic Church in Ireland was involved in covering it up. He was given a list of names by a child who was being abused, of other children who were also being abused but the information was never passed on to either the police or the parents, instead the child was sworn to secrecy. A blood boiling topic which we can never have enough outrage about.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKfwduRpbQ8

lyrics

"G.O.D - I've been thinkng about the world - as it turned
I've been thinking about our lives - we are what we learn
If there's a white man with a beard in the sky looking down
he'd say - I'm proud of you son..?

I don't care what you say - they're not games that you played
when you turned your back on kids you could have saved
i don't care what you claim - or the red hat you gained
Don't talk of God when all you have is shame

Holy fingers on a list of names - of lives cut to the bone
Holy fingers on a list of names - you won't lift up the phone!
no more virgins - 'cause you stifled all their screams
there's a vulture keeping a vigil by your bed.

Where's the innocence in my dream that i used to have
sworn to secrecy
there's no pixies in my garden anymore
