Lyrics for (*Fin) as interpreted by marco182

(*Fin) Lyrics
Feels like you're miles from here,
In other towns with lesser names.
Where the unholy ghost doesn't tell
Mary or William exactly what they want to hear.
You remember the house on Ridge Road
Told you and the Devil to both just leave me alone.
If this is salvation, I can show you the trembling.
You'll just have to trust me. I'm scared.

I am the patron saint of lost causes.
Aren't we all to you just near lost causes?
Aren't we all to you just lost

Tommy, you left behind
Something that will mean everything right before you die.
What if you gained the whole world?
You've already lost four little souls from your life.
Widows and orphans aren't hard to find.
They're home missing daddy who's saving the abandoned tonight.
Wish your drinking would hurry and kill you.
Sympathy's better than having to tell you the truth.

That you are the patron saint of lost causes.
All you are to them is now a lost cause.
All you are to them is now, causes.

Billy, don't you understand?
Timothy stood as long as he could and now
You made his faith disappear.
More like a magician and less like a man of the cloth.
We're not questioning God.
Just those he chose to carry on His cross.
We're no better, you'll see.
Just all of us, the lost causes.

Aren't we all to you just lost causes?
Are we all to you lost?
Lost causes
So all we are to you,
Is all we are, is all we are
All we are is all we are

[Choir:]
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you? (Lost causes, all we are is all we are)
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you? (To you, lost...)

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?


Take what you will, what you will
And leave. Could you kill, could you kill me
If the world was on fire
And nothing was left but hope or desire
And take all that I could bring forth, is this hell
Or am I on the floor over-desperate?
Hold hands streaming of blood again?
And then take full weight of me
Guard my dreams, figure this out,
It's me on my own. Helpless, hurting, hell
Will you stay strong as you promised?
Cause I'm stranded and bare.
Meanness is washed up in all that I am
Is God. Take this and all,
Then grace takes me to a place
Of the father you never had
Ripping and breaking and tearing apart
This is not heaven
This is my hell.

Good job on these. I haven't heard the song, and only read a few parts, but you made it legible, which is awesome. I hate it when lyrics are submitted with no chorus/verse seperation/capitalization/lots of spelling errors.

This song took me by surprise when it came on. The way it is written, it just grabs you. This song litterally makes me feel depressed, but it isn't a bad feeling. It just opens up a lot of questions. This song iss the absolute truth.

I think its:

"Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?" - the part that the choir sings.

Great song. :)

I've listened to that part a couple of times and it indeed makes more sense.

This song is about St. Jude, the Patron Saint of lost causes. He got his name because he (St. Jude Thaddeus) was confused with Jesus' betrayer (Judas Iscariot). Thus, devotion to St. Jude was a lost cause.
St. Jude was the son of Mary, who was the cousin of Mary the mother of Jesus. So, St. Jude was like a second cousin...or something to Jesus.

Such an amazing song. Easily the best on the CD. I don't know if I like any other song better...

I'd edit these if i knew how to, so if you do, go ahead and fix these problems.

1.) instead of "lonely ghost doesn't tell merry old William" it is "the unholy ghost doesn't tell Mary or William"

2.) instead of "the house that we drew" it is "the house on Ridge Road"

3.) instead of "tell me you're left behind" it is "tommy, you left behind"

4.) instead of "but if you gained the world" it is "what if you gained the whole world"

5.) instead of "Their home is in daddy who's saving you random tonight" it is "They're home missing daddy who's saving the world tonight."

6) instead of "Where's your drink..." it is "wish your drinking would hurry and kill you"

7.) instead of "...to carry on his cause" it is "...to carry on his cross"

8.) instead of "we'll grow better..." it is "we're no better..."

thats some good info you found on this, jutrumpet42

that makes complete sense also. It's always great to get a historical grip on the background of any song.

So, he's singing jibberish at the end of the song. Right? I mean that's what he said in the dvd...that they went into a room, played percussion instruments and he just sang what came to mind.

Here's what I got for the end:

Take what you will, what you will
And leave
Could you kill, could you kill me?
If the world was on fire
And nothing was left but hope or desire
And take all that I could recall
Is this hell
Or am I all alone
Desperate of hands
Screaming of love again

??????? me
??????? bad dream
Figure this out
It’s me on my own
A helpless, hurting hell

Is this all that you promised
Cause I’m stranded and bare
?????????????????????
?????????? all that I have
Is not ??????? at all

And this takes me to the place
Of the father you never had
Hurting and breaking and tearing apart
This is not heaven, it’s hell

Good job on the end. There are a few things I thought were a little different that I want to add later when I have more time. But one thing that I am pretty sure is different is the last line, you have:

"This is not Heaven, it's hell"

but I think it is:

This is not Heaven, this is my life"

I am sure that there are at least more syllables than there are in just "it's hell"

Oh yeah, and someone was asking about what a patron saint is, well, a patron saint is a saint regarded as the special guardian of a person, group, trade, country, etc. I used a dictionary.

Ok, so here is what I got for the end as well, but don't forget, since the vocals are hard to understand this is somewhat of a guess, though I listened to this parts of the song over and over again for a few hours.

Take what you will, what you will
And leave
Could you kill, could you kill me
If the world was on fire
And nothing was left but hope or desire
And take all that I could recall
Is this hell
Or am I on the floor
Over desperate cold hands ?
Screaming of love again ?

??????? fall away, follow me
??????? bad dream
Figure this out
It’s me on my own
A helpless, hurting hell

Is this all that you promised
‘Cause I’m stranded and bare
*Maybe this is worse still
But all that I have is not dead ??? at all*

*Perhaps the following*:
To me this is worse still
But all that I have does not deaden this at all


And this takes nil place
Of the father you never had
Bending and breaking and tearing apart
This is not heaven, this is my life.

thanks to the person who posted the meaning on patron saint. it all makes so much more sense now. like he is the one who kinda "protects" the things or people everyone forgets about. oh jeez. this song makes me cry. and thanky oiu very much for contacting me on myspace because i haven't been able to look at this for a while now. and to those of you who also posted the end of this song. thanks too. because that part is my favorite
