Commentary
Fan Brendan Jones has this spin on The Unbeliever:
"I think it is about an abusive alcoholic who
doesn't realise the damage he is doing to those around him."
Lyrics
Hey you unbeliever
You better undo that dirty rag
Hey you, hey you unbeliever
Undo it slow and let it breathe
The time has come for you to take that little white potion
Yeah you're bound to keep that bad thing away
Yeah when that time comes you better not be sleeping
'Cos it's bound to come around the very next day
Hey you, hey you unbeliever
You go and better undo that dirty rag, yeah
Hey you, hey you unbeliever
Unwind it slow and let it breathe, yeah
You're gonna wake up and find that you've been sleeping
You've been asleep for the last fifteen years
You're gonna wake up and find somebody's weeping
Your bed is soaked in your lover's tears
You're bound to have a headache when it happens
Hey you, hey you unbeliever
You better come and undo that dirty rag
Hey you, hey you unbeliever
Unwind it slow and let it breathe
You're gonna wake up and find you've been sleeping
You've been asleep for fifteen years
You're gonna wake up and find somebody's weeping
And your bed is soaked in your lover's tears, crying
You're bound to have a headache
