The Problem with Saints |
I wish that Joan of Arc wouldn’t hang around the park |
Pronouncing that she won’t get burned again |
Her armour’s very shiny and her message is divine |
But I wish she’d take a day off now and then |
She said it clears your head when you come back from the |
dead |
With your sword as sharp as anything that cuts |
And to prove it she bisected three young tourists from |
Utrecht |
Which rapidly displayed a lot of guts |
She says we need to raise a brand new army |
And the flag of France |
so proudly she unfurled |
And the people that |
she hated will be neatly bifurcated |
And the British will |
no longer rule the world |
(She says) it was a mistake to let them burn her at the |
stake |
And she learned a lesson back there in the flames |
So she’s going to kill the queen and then she’ll rescue Old |
Orleans |
And it’s really hard to hang around with saints |
I think I ought to tell her that the English left in failure |
And they don’t go back to France except on hols |
But I saw her vivisect a man who wanted to correct her -- |
And the playground soon resembled grand guignol |
She says we need to raise a brand new army |
And she marched us round until we couldn’t stand |
She says the nation |
she abhors will soon be writhing on the floor |
And the British will |
no longer rule her land |
And she’s waiting for the dauphin who will come across the |
ocean, |
And knows that God agrees with her complaints |
So I’m hoping that she’ll ignore my English accent in her |
war |
‘Cause it’s really hard to hang around with saints |
She says we need to raise a brand new army |
And the flag of France |
so proudly she unfurled |
And the people that |
she hated will be neatly bifurcated |
And the British will |
no longer rule |
the British will no longer rule |
the British will no longer rule the |
world! |
