about

Someone I spent a lot of time worrying about when I was a kid. "Dark af but pretty" - someone said this week about the song which, sounds about right.

lyrics

PIECES (aka Mary Theresa)
(c)Owen Critchley/loUdtHuD

She never did find a man like Jesus
But for a while Billy seemed like one
Mary Theresa's gone to pieces
In Billy's old house, her time has come

Mary Theresa Jesus loves your blue eyes

As a girl well she dreamed of many things
Wrapped in silver nights and golden days
She was a beauty but to Billy she's a fucking pain
But mama made her stay

Mary Theresa Jesus loves your blue eyes
Mary Theresa he'll be so glad to see ya
Jesus loves your blue eyes

She keeps a few of her favourite things
Wrapped In the lace she made
She's got a little statue of Jesus
And she wonders what he'd say

Mary Theresa Jesus loves your blue eyes
Mary Theresa he'll be so glad to see ya
Jesus loves your blue eyes
