~~~ "We wrote this song from the perspective of Vera Bolberger's husband, lover, father of her children, and betrayer. With the collapse of the Berlin wall and the subsequent access to secret police files came the collapse of their marrage. Vera's political affiliations and movements had been carefully monitored and disclosed by her informant husband." ~~~ I'm the father of your children So well placed and so well hidden I wrote it all down, wrote it all down In little books that I was given All filled up with information Your whereabouts and affiliations I know what you read, when you bleed I substantiate their allegations I kiss & tell I kiss & tell them all the things they need to know I kiss & tell them There's nothing I conceal, my lips are hardly sealed It's not my fault, I'm not to blame I'm not that apt to feel ashamed I say these words they're my solution Absolute absolution I'm the one who knows you best There's a scar under your breast I told them all I did my part I'm not guilty I'm just caught I'm not guilty I'm just caught Lover, love her under cover 'Till someone pulled the wall out from under me
