Lapsed Catholics |
Whose prison break is the most impressive? |
I’m gonna go, I’m gonna go, I’m gonna go Tim Robbins in Jacob’s Ladder |
Such patience, such verve and poise |
But wait a minute, shit, that’s the wrong film |
Morgan Freeman would roll in his grave, if he were dead |
Which he nearly was, if you believe the hysterical gung-ho Technicolor crapfest |
That is Sky News, or Murdoch Live, or whatever the hell the devil calls himself |
Sky News, or Murdoch Live, or whatever the hell the devil calls himself |
I preferred him when he was red and blatant, that guy |
I liked him better when he swooped around the land indiscriminately |
Bending wills and souls with glee |
Hurrying kids to their graves at sea |
Magnetically debasing the casts of the earth |
In a terrible, wonderful focus of horrors |
A justice of sorts if you listen to fools who have dressed in the dark for a bet |
A justice of sorts if you listen to fools who have dressed in the dark for a bet |
A justice of sorts if you listen to fools who have dressed in the dark for a bet |
A justice of sorts if you listen to fools who have dressed in the dark for a bet |
(sung) |
I’m on a mercy mission to prove to my new love |
That she is my nothing, that she is my no-one |
That even these triumphs are nothing without her |
That even these triumphs are empty |
But anyway, revel in it |
Be grateful when the comfort comes |
I can’t stand still for the rest of my life |
But there’s always lapsed Caltholics |
I need a change of focus, a badge of honour |
A mark of progress, a rope to hang from |
To make a difference I need composure |
To make a difference, to make it |
But anyway, revel in it |
Be grateful when the comfort comes |
I can’t stand still for the rest of my life |
But there’s always lapsed Caltholics |
The trick is, don’t start |
Be aware, be alert |
The truth is, no words are |
Worthy to hang on her |
Lapsed Catholics are the worst |
Lapsed Catholics are the worst |
Lapsed Catholics are the worst |
Lapsed Catholics are the worst |
Give me something I can take away |
Give me something I can take away |
Give me something I can take away |
Give me something I can take away |
The problem with these people is |
They understand the obvious |
The problem with these people is |
They understand their vices, not their faults |
Lapsed Catholics are the worst |
It’s part of who they were |
And who they’ll be again |
And who they’ll be again |
