What Happened To You, Son? Belle and Sebastian

Son, you're a mystery
All your precious words don't mean so much to me
You were on the side of us
All your thoughts aligned with my deep poetry

And you would accompany
Every weekend walk up and wish
All the days of chastity
All the nights of teenage outrage

I tried not to criticize
You must go the way you're at and bring on flight
Maybe you're a victim, too
Maybe this is happening cause we all loved you too much

What is it you armed me for?
You convinced me I was hopeless
All your wordy metaphors
All your well worn sexless posture

Holier than Jesus Christ
They camе a long way just to touch your gown
But you never turn away
Him or her or good and gay or black or brown

So convincing for a whilе
Mighty was your stack of pages
Every word you ever spoke
Was condemned by the government agents
