"Oh No" & "Trivial Hymn" - Maddy Prior

by "Mark T" <snailmail@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 9, 2008 at 05:00 PM

Oh No
Oh no, not religion again
Go to church? You must be bloody joking
Give me the pub with drinking and smoking

Humourless, straight laced, holier-than-thou
Cheerless chapel, pledge and vow

Church of England, boring empty ritual
Vestments set with gold and jewels

The Pope runs a multinational corporation
Bleeds the poor that seek salvation

Oh no, not religion again

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trivial Hymn
Please don't ask me to give up my life
Please don't ask me for a great sacrifice
All I can do, is see your point of view

I was born with a feeble heart
We both knew that from the very start
All I can do, is try to see it through

And this is my trivial hymn for you

I would be Samson but my hair is too short
I would be David but I'm not fond of sport
All I can do is paddle my own canoe

All I can manage is one day a week
And please can I be one of the meek
All I can do is try my best for you

And this is my trivial hymn for you

Holy smoke it's getting higher
There is no smoke without a little fire
Somebody spoke, says you're a liar But I'm a tryer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
