another verse that Buckley dropped

    You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well, really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah

this and the last verse the one forwardslash quoted are my favorites. Buckley's neglect of them go to my theory of his blunted understanding and pedestrian character. Pedro the lion's version (David Bazaan) contains them both. but the think he gets it wrong too as a christian he make it about redemption. and he wusses out and drops the sex verses his Christianity again?
