I was blind
I was lame
I was nothing
'Till you came
You said 'Babe,
Make you sing
Make you feel
Like some queen'
Said 'I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine'
Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
And rode in fucking mad (?)
With a halo of deep black
'Til my love made me gag
Call him Daddy, take my hand
Said 'I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine'
Good Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
I'm hooked
Oh higher
Oh beautful
Oh higher
Oh beautiful
Oh higher
Now I'm blind and I'm lame
Left with nothing but his stain
'Daddy your maid, she can't sing
She can't feel, she's no queen!'
Said 'I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine'
Lord he hooked me
Fish hook and line
Said 'I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine'
Good lord he hooked me
'Leen out of time
I was lame
I was nothing
'Till you came
You said 'Babe,
Make you sing
Make you feel
Like some queen'
Said 'I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine'
Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
And rode in fucking mad (?)
With a halo of deep black
'Til my love made me gag
Call him Daddy, take my hand
Said 'I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine'
Good Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
I'm hooked
Oh higher
Oh beautful
Oh higher
Oh beautiful
Oh higher
Now I'm blind and I'm lame
Left with nothing but his stain
'Daddy your maid, she can't sing
She can't feel, she's no queen!'
Said 'I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine'
Lord he hooked me
Fish hook and line
Said 'I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine'
Good lord he hooked me
'Leen out of time

i think that the character, kathleen, was sweet talked by a man, thus, "hooked," like a fish. (perhaps she's insinuating that she's going to be ruined by the expireince, much like the fish will die for consumption.)
i guess the usage of hook/hooked could show addiction. perhaps she's addicted to this man because he said so many sweet things. the sweet things he said, of course, are proven to be false, when it's pointed out that kathleen can't sing and isn't a queen. the man simply said things to sleep with her (nothing left but his stain).
his stain could either be left physically on the sheets, or it could be an emotional or pyschological stain. he might stain her thinking or self esteem.
love this song, love this woman.
