TABBED BY: el sancco (sancco@hotmail.com)
D Am7
The boy with the thorn in his side
C D
Behind the hatered there lies
G Am
A murderous desire
D Am7 C D
For love
G Am D
How can they look into my eyes
Am7 C D
And still they don't believe me
G Am D
How can they hear me say those words
Am7 C
Still they don't believe me
D G Am D
And if they don't believe me now
Am7 C
Will they ever believe me?
D G Am D
And if they don't believe me now
Am7
Will they ever believe me?
C D C D C D C Cmaj7 Dsus4 C D
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh

Behind the hatered there lies
G Am
A plundering desire
D Am7 C D
For love
G Am D
How can they see the love in our eyes
Am7 C D
And still they don't believe us
G Am D
And after all this time
Am7 C
They don't want to believe us
D G Am D
And if they don't believe us now
Am7 C
Will they ever believe us?
D G Am D
And when you want to live how do you start?
Am7
Where do you go? Who do you need to know?
C D C D C D C Cmaj7 Dsus4 C D
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh

| It's about Michael Myers of the Halloween series. The Thorn theory was described in Halloween: Curse of Michael Myers. I know what you're thinking, H6 came out in 1995 and this album 1986, so it's impossible. It's true. It is impossible. But this song really does remind me of Michael Myers. Especially 'murderous desire' behind the eyes. I love you all. PUH-eace! In the Mid-DUL East! | |

| I think this song is about two young men involved in a homosexual relationship. They have went public with it and have been ridiculed. No one believes that they are truly in love, they see it as something else. 'How can they see the Love in our eyes And still they don't believe us ?' This line most reflects my opinions on the song. | |

| This song deals with a homosexual relationship which is not understood by the others. "And if they don't believe us now Will they ever believe us ?" He says that if they don't believe they're in love then, they won't ever do, because they won't ever understand that two men are in love. | |

| This was never one of my favourites. It always sounds abit too polished for me...almost as though a professional songwriter had written a song in the style of the Smiths. | |

| To me this song is about a person who feels hurt by life so he puts up a wall and acts like a cruel person but really all he wants is love just like everyone else. And he wants to start living and changing but no one believes it'll happen. That's how I relate to it anyway. | |
