Lyrics: Dear Ol'Dad

Recorded at: London Bridge Studio, Seattle (Feb - June 1992)

Come now and listen babe
I gotta reason why I behave
Like a child with a light in eyes
Running naked on a cold winter night
I am like a pigeon that is spreading
it’s wings to fly away to better things
Like a hammer that has made
a dent in every little single cent you’ve spent
Said oh God you’ve got to help me a little bit
You’ve got to have a relief file for me
Now I know I’m always right
that’s a thought that never even crossed my mind
Don’t touch me there I’ve gotta be pure
So smack that hand, and read this verse
So I wrecked your life, what the heck
My new found faith will pay by check
This life’s took a toll on my soul
So this is me and that’s my song
And I guess that you can see that we don’t get along
I’ve shut the doors on what we had
so now she can sleep with her dear ol’ dad
My eyes are dry and my hands are clean
and I can’t believe all the things I’ve seen
Oh my God

from the "Dear Ol'dad" video

"... the only preaching the band does is against preaching, particularly on Dear Ol' Dad, a biting love letter from Hoon to an acquaintance who iced him after she found the Lord..."
