Song lyrics
You take your clothes off right after school 
The tea is on, the flame is blue 
You hope this won't take all afternoon 
The tv's waiting to talk to you 
It's your naked body on white velour 
But there's no feeling, just weight on you 
You get nauseous now as he speaks to you 
Such proper language for acts so cruel 
He says 'We all follow the rules 
We can't very well go and break them now, can we 
For you 
Your older sisters, I've had them too 
But you're my favorite, you know it's true 
You look like your mother, in that thin disguise 
Your parting mouth, your shutting eyes 
And the way that you hate me, and the length of your hair 
It's the reason I made you, it's the bond that we share 
You see we're all trying to endure 
You could easily go and make your own life somewhere 
Couldn't you?' 
And you keep your eyes shut, get to school on time 
Where you're a bag of warm fluid 
Where you're the corpse in the class 
You walk so near to the lockers 
You lay so low in the grass 
Did you get that coat from the principal 
Did you get that bruise on the bus 
You should wash your hair more 
You should look more like us 
I saw you walking once under powder blue skies 
You looked cold still, your collar was high 
And I tried to talk to you, but you walked right by 
I don't know which I said then, hello or goodbye 
we're all trying to be pure 
But it isn't a very easy thing now, is it to do

this song is so touching... he always sings about the things in the world noone likes to talk about, that people like to pretend dont happen...and he does it so beautifully. Its a brilliant song.

This song is so disturbing and sad and in in that, beautiful. This has DEFINITELY replaced "Jetsabel removes the Undesireables" and "The Difference in the Shades" as my favourite song ever.

I like "When the President Talks to God", but "Lua" sucks.

this song is about a father molesting his daughter. i love this song because it's beautiful how conor puts it together and the way he tells the story but i can't listen to the song more than once a day. i get a nauseous feeling whenever i hear it because it's so sad and disgusting that people actually do this. disgusting, sad, foul, spirit killing, and f-ing ridiculous

I'm in such awe of this song. It's true -- he takes everything noone wants to talk about and makes it into these wonderful songs. There are really no words.

In my opinion, this is one of Conors best songs ever. It brings me to tears every time I listen to it.

All I can say is that this song needs more praise.

For something so simple (forget the lyrics for a second), the way he is singing and the few instruments, the effort is powerful, and then you listen to the words and you realise you are listening to something incredible.

I have to say I disagree with people who can only listen to this once a day at once without being overcome with emotion, as sickening as the story is, the song is too beautiful to ignore, and I listen it to as much as I can really, on the way to college one of the first I pick on my mp3 player, the beauty of the song overtakes the ugly side.

Love it.
