Billy Radcliffe Lyrics - Frank Black And The Catholics

Billy Radcliffe didn't go to town 

And when we looked up, he was looking right down 

Catching blue in his eyes that were brown 

Billy Radcliffe 

(Billy Radcliffe) 

Billy Radcliffe owned by the state 

From his first breath to the cemetery gate 

He was the first boy born in space 

Billy Radcliffe 

(Billy Radcliffe) 

Billy Radcliffe very first one 

He really had lived just a cursed son 

A split in half man sang the cherubim 

Billy Radcliffe 

(Billy Radcliffe) 

Billy Radcliffe saw what the Devil man he saw 

He saw a spot of blue in black of the eye of the Lord Such a cruel love 

Is the kind that has wrought oh Billy 

Billy Radcliffe 

Billy sadly didn't live long 

He had to stay there because he wasn't too strong 

He's stepping out the door, blowing up like bomb 

Billy Radcliffe 

(Billy Radcliffe) 

Billy Radcliffe very first one 

Really a hatched man a light switch son 

A split in half man sang the cherubim 

Billy Radcliffe very first one 

A split in half man sang the cherubim 

I bet you cried when he died now didja 

Now didja? 

Now Billy Radcliffe saw what the Devil man he saw 

He saw a spot of blue in black of the eye of the Lord, oh, Billy 

Billy Radcliffe saw what the Devil man had 

And I feel very bad for William Radcliffe
