about

This intimate confessional song is about a priest having issues around the relevance of the Latin mass while having a secret desire to be a caterpillar. Not many songs out there about this subject, I’d guess.

lyrics

I wish I was a caterpillar
Munching on a leaf
That would be cool
But I am a priest

I’d rather be a caterpillar
Having lots of legs
What a to-do

Coz they’re bored so am I
This Latin mass is old-fashioned

I’ll have a chat with him before I
Lay me down to sleep
He will put me right
He’s always there
And if he wants to make me into
A caterpillar
That will be fine
I won’t be scared
.
