Castlecomer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a pretty picture and a piece of the pie, piece of the sky
I could do this everyday and you would teach me what to say, because you are.
Sister Suzie told me to be more of a saint, more of a saint to you
She's a pretty preacher, teach you how to be fly, and never know why
I don't want to press repeat, because this is just depressing me, because you are.
Judy what you do to me hurts
Truly, I don't think that it's worth, your love is.
Surely surely lordy lordy you're going to stay, you're going to stay with me
Giving cheek to fill the week and send it away, so far away
I know you're a rolling Joan, but I have got to get you home, because you are.
Judy what you do to me hurts
Judy what you do to me hurts
Truly, I don't think that it's worth, your love is.
Judy what you do to me hurts
Judy what you do to me hurts
Truly, I don't think that it's worth, your love is.
The lyrics of Castlecomer's song "Judy" express the complicated and potentially destructive nature of a romantic relationship with someone who is unpredictable and causes more pain than joy. The first verse sets the tone with the suggestive phrase "bend the rules and kiss the fools" indicating a willingness to do whatever it takes to experience the highs of love, even if it means compromising personal values. The reference to taking a "pretty picture and a piece of the pie, piece of the sky" suggests a desire for material and emotional gain.
The singer seems aware that their relationship with Judy is not healthy, and is seeking outside guidance. Sister Suzie is presented as a "pretty preacher" who suggests that the singer needs to be more saintly to garner Judy's affections. The line "I don't want to press repeat, because this is just depressing me, because you are" suggests a cycle of painful repetition in the relationship that is taking a toll on the singer.
The chorus repeats the plaintive line "Judy what you do to me hurts" three times, underscoring the emotional impact of the relationship. The final verse hints at hope as the singer implores Judy to stay with them, even as they acknowledge her restless, wandering ways. Ultimately, the chorus returns as a mournful refrain, and the singer admits that Judy's love is not worth the pain it causes.
