Welcome, you are listening to Every Song. A series where I play songs I’ve written throughout the years and share the stories behind them.
This is a one-song episode. Keeping it short and simple today because I’ve still got so much to do with moving admin and I’m running around like a headless chicken these days.
Here is a song I wrote during the Covid lockdown of August 2020. It’s about (how do I say this without being creepy?) my weird little sexy fantasy about men who have taken religious vows. Priests, I might say.
This song is also imagined within a world of fairy tales, forbidden love, heroes and villains, and the ultimate fantasy of running away together and having that happily ever after.
It’s called Man of the Cloth, written on the 16th of August 2020.
200816 Man of the Cloth
How do I balanceHow do I flyHow do I swim throughThe ocean tidesThe foam on the waves likeBubbles in my bathI be the problemYou do the math
I’m no LolitaNothing older menHas ever had to offerBeen good in the endOnly thing boys canBring to the tableIs the audacityAnd they are enabled
I been the villainAll alongHaving an affair withA man of the clothAnd if we couldWe would goSomewhere only we know
Searching for meaningSearching for lightSearching for rulesI won’t even abide byAnd for all my faultsI blame the starsI am how I amCause of my natal chart
Wishing I could travel backWish more power for my craftWishing wishes were just thatCause my manifestation game is wackBut I know deep down I’m theMost magical b***h I’ve ever seenAnd with him right next to meThere is nothing I cannot be
He’s been the heroAll alongFallen in love withA black swanAnd if we couldWe would goSomewhere only we know
Thank you for listening to episode 35 of Every Song. Until next time.
