In the Name - Fool's Garden

She’s a good girl,

Daddy loves her,

she’s obeying

pretty soon

Daddy told her

wondrous stories

very softly

salty moon

Is anybody out there?

Can anybody hear her cry?

Any saviour?

Does anybody know just why

god has left her

on this long, long way?

She’s afraid to hear him say:

«COME»

She’s a good ball,

Daddy’s playing

very charily

with her hands

Many pictures

in the diary

of a small girl

and a man

Is anybody out there?

Can anybody hear her cry?

Any saviour?

Bloody bastard, why?

God has left her

on this long, long way,

She’s a good girl

hundred million miles away

It’s in the name,

the name

Jamie’s been abandoned

now she’s riding on a train

It’s in the name,

the name — of love

Father don’t you leave her

when you take her home again

She’s a good girl,

Daddy loves her

and he knows that

he’s the one

to redeem his

little puppet,

Daddy’s work is nearly done

There isn’t any god in heaven

and no religion too

He’s the only saviour

and he knows that he’s the one to do it

while she’s imploring:

«Don't you hear me?»

It’s in the name,

the name

Jamie’s been abandoned

now she’s riding on a train

the name — of love

Father don’t you leave her

when you take her home again
