Bloody Kisses Tabs:

Type O Negative: Christian Woman
Transcribed by Nikoteemu Väänänen (osmo.vaananen@pp.inet.fi)
Tune 2.5 steps down to B
This song is very easy, just remember to do pick scrapes at every
opportunity! On the acoustic part Kenny uses some kind of open tuning
judging from the sound of it, but I've transcribed it as it is played
with the same tuning as the rest of the song (although like this the
octave fill is impossible to play).
Just play it LOUD!

	Very powerfully strong song.

No Picture Curtis Rhythm Player	#2 by Curtis Lee at Nov 5, 1975 at 4:59 PM EST
	A woman stuck between religion and sex. She tries to be the Good Christian.. and she fails. Her urges get to her and she slides deeper and deeper into something she knows is wrong. But, as we all know by the lyrics, she doesnt mind a little freefall into hell if she gets what she wants.

No Picture james Rhythm Player	#3 by james dobson at Jul 31, 1977 at 12:49 PM EST
	I think this song is about christianity objectifying morality by using the example of forbidding masturbation..

No Picture MysticCat Wanna Be	#4 by MysticCat (Janis johnny Udodovs) at Mar 6, 1982 at 9:47 PM EST
	Great song, Peter may not have much of a range but the man can sing. Another tongue in cheek song, like 90% of the stuff he writes.

No Picture SLUT Badass	#5 by SLUT at Feb 25, 1997 at 2:21 AM EST
	Ever seen the video for this? It's a little freaky, and Peter Steele looks like a vampire (more so than usual)....fairly cools.

No Picture ToRRi Average	#6 by ToRRi L at Apr 12, 2004 at 5:56 AM EST
	In the video the lyrics are different from the album version of the song.

No Picture Jay Dizzle Wanna Be	#7 by Jay Dizzle holden at Oct 1, 2007 at 11:11 AM EST
	I read somewhere, in some interview, that it is about a girl masturbating and feeling bad. Though, have you ever looked at a catholic saint in their state of 'rapture?' A spiritual moment so powerful that it's both painful and pleasurable? It always reminds me of sexual climax. Like the two things are interwoven. I suppose in a lot of ways religion is very sexual. There's really no greater act of submission than submission to god. At least, that's my very Medieval and Augustan view of religion.

No Picture Sam Average	#8 by Sam Ordway at Oct 2, 2007 at 12:25 PM EST
	wow, this song though, like how strong and emotional could you get? i mean type o, all your songs pull me and stuff but, wow you didnt have to release this song, its just too damn good and shit...this song seduces me espeacially after listening to machine screw right before lol

No Picture Chris Average	#9 by Chris Essery at Oct 3, 2007 at 12:06 AM EST
	It's about the sexual perversion of religion... though Catholicism is probobly more perverse than Christianity... with all of the confessinals, repenting in particular...

No Picture foster Average	#10 by foster meng at Oct 6, 2007 at 12:42 PM EST
	its about a christian girl masturbating and feeling guilty. he said it in some interview

No Picture Brian Average	#11 by Brian Dempsey at Oct 12, 2007 at 5:30 PM EST
	This song's theme has simularities to Voices by Dream Theater, but totally different. Voices is not a perverted song. lol.

No Picture Derek Lead Player	#12 by Derek O'Kanos at Oct 19, 2007 at 1:04 AM EST
	I agree with you guys.. when i first heard it I thought she had a sexual obsession with christ or god.... and perhaps jealousy comes from another man "jesus christ looks like me"

No Picture Toby Musical Thunder	#13 by Toby at Oct 19, 2007 at 1:40 PM EST
	yea it is pretty much bout a christian woman who jerks off and feels guilty about it, knowing she will go to hell for commiting this sin.The bit that I find funny is the She'll burn in hell Her soul done medium well rofl

No Picture Terence Average	#14 by Terence Taylor at Oct 19, 2007 at 8:47 PM EST
	that first portion of the song brings images of the Salvador dali's screen play "un chien Andalou.."
