Eraserheads - Butterscotch Lyrics
You can take me to the prom,Promise not to tell your momMama never tells you why,While she kicks you in the eyeI don't think she understands'I just wanna hold your handI don't even own a car so couldn't get that far, aah...Father Markus said to me,"Just confess and you'll be free.Sit you down upon my lapTell me your sins, just like thatHe said baby, know the rulesYou're living in a Catholic school.All the teachers say you're fine,But they don't have dirty minds"(Aaah) I am only in my teensI live only for my dreams(Aaaah) I cannot be made to stayLife's a journey anywayHey!Teacher, teacher please make me well.I don't want to go to hellTeacher, teacher what can I do?I don't know boy, it's up to you(Ooooh) It's time to free your mind,It's time to cleanse your soul (Oooh)Yo father forgive me for I have sinned.I'd rather talk to God but he's out and your inIt's little complicated but father don't sweat itYou can hear me out or you can just forget itNow I haven't been to church in about ten yearsAnd one time I had to pull my little sister's earsBut I'm not really violent and it showsI go for flower power as that stupid song goesSometimes I tell a lie, but only when it's trueAnd I often say things like shit and ***** youAnd I like to read a lot of dirty comic booksAnd I've given dirty teachers a lot of dirty looksBut this is the last thing that I'm ever gonna sayIt's embarassing for me to talk to you this wayBefore I forget and before I carry on, I stole a tableNapkin from a fancy restaurantNow please father tell me what I gotta doI am full of guilt and now it's up to you.I am full of guilt and now it's up o you. Hey!Just say 10 Hail Mary's, 71 Glory Be'sOur Fathers, and a hundred Amens...Life's a journey anyway - hey!
