about

Inspired by a newspaper article I read a few years back but have since misplaced. It told the tale of an old box of records discovered in the basement of an all boys Catholic school somewhere in Europe. Those records revealed that there was a rash of unexplained deaths of a high number boys at the school, as well as a fair number at a nearby all girls Catholic school. And naturally, my brain decided to travel to its darkest recess and drag this song kicking and screaming into the light. It took more than a year to write, which is strange given the sparseness of the lyrics.

lyrics

Oh, Mother Mary save me
Oh, Mary save

There's something in the woodshed
Oh, Mary save
What happened to all my friends?
Oh, Mary save

There's something wrong with Father Joe
Oh, Mary save
He killed my friends and this I know
Oh, Mary save
