Discover the story of the song > Suffer the Children, Come Unto Me – Brendan Kelly

The protagonist of the song is in a dingy back room with a woman, offering her candy while making sexual advances towards her. He then sings about how she won't need certain things (like shoes and a mattress) where she's going, implying she won't be alive anymore. He also mentions that he caught her being unfaithful. He then talks about how he's leaving and won't be going home, and how he's not going to miss the old crowd he used to hang out with. He ends the song by saying he doesn't need the things where he's going and that he'll be alone.
