about

Written for a gay friend Malcolm Hutchinson, a song for the power of truth in friendship between gay and hetrosexual, it was also a song that championed against the disgraceful policy brought about in the 1980's by the Tory party named Clause 28

lyrics

Wholly humble heart

Every man must have his castle, and feel a hand caress his nape
yes everybody needs a good friend, to give their secrets to
I too am no exception, I too need to be loved
And I too desire a good friend, hopefully that is you

There is not time to kiss a statue, someone who purely looks the part
One who transcends onto another
Wholly humble heart
Wholly humble heart

I share a friend who is a gay boy, she tells me he is full of love
Let Malcolm too be no exception, I wish him someone to love
For it takes awhile to re-kindle, no matter how many you manage to fool
For the first bite makes the deepest teeth marks
Those wounds take a pretty long time to heal

There is not time to kiss a statue, someone who purely looks the part
One who transcends onto another
Wholly humble heart
Wholly humble heart
