Description

Here, the drama is on par with Greek tragedy: love arrives not with flowers, but with a cricket bat, and turns into a mess of reproaches, insults, and broken promises. In one verse, Dorian Gray is behind a closed door; in another, the prayer “Kyrie Eleison” is mixed with sarcastic jokes that have become a confession. The music sounds as if an ironic angel and an evil advocate of conscience have been released onto the dance floor, and both are demanding to speak at the same time. The result is not about tears or anger, but about how scary and funny it can be to try to remain true to yourself in your own storm.

Lyrics and translation

Original

I waited for love
With a cricket bat
I got what I want
And I kicked it flat
You know what I’m like
You don’t deserve it
Veruca Salt
Her just desserts
She kept it out
To show the world
And now it's sour like her mother
What do you do when a good man cries?
And you’re the one to keep him up at night?
How could you do what you said you wouldn’t do like all the other guys?
How do you act when the daddy’s not home?
Dorian Graying if the door’s closed?
All that you say it doesn’t matter cuz you’re crushing what you shouldn’t hold
I hope it don’t last
With our time so sore
I hope that I pass
And I get reborn
I’ve never changed
But lord I’m tryna
The people’s mess
Dunboyne Diana
All of my jokes
Have turned to prayers
Because they’re scarred just like their mother
What do you do when a good man cries?
And you’re the one to keep him up at night?
How could you do what you said you wouldn’t do like all the other guys?
How do you act when the daddy’s not home?
Dorian Graying if the door’s closed?
All that you say it doesn’t matter cuz you’re crushing what you shouldn’t hold
Oh i can feel what I hated in dreams, come on
Give me a hand if you can help Jesus, it’s time
To be real, spin wheels
Kyrie Eleison
Oh I can feel what I hated in dreams, help me
Not hate myself, help me love other people, oh I’ll
Wear the beads, I’ll read
Kyrie Eleison
What do you do when a good man cries?
And you’re the one to keep him up at night?
How could you do what you said you wouldn’t do like all the other guys?
How do you act when the daddy’s not home?
Dorian Graying if the door’s closed?
All that you say it doesn’t matter cuz you’re crushing what you shouldn’t hold
Oh i can feel what I hated in dreams, come on
Give me a hand if you can help Jesus, it’s time
To be real, spin wheels
Kyrie Eleison
Oh I can feel what I hated in dreams, help me
Not hate myself, help me love other people, oh i’ll
Wear the beads, I’ll read
Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison
