Antipope
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm going back to church tonight
Take me back when I was eight
But I don't mean to pray
I'm gonna nick the collection plate
I've got nothing against church
Or the people who go there and show there
Plain ignorant they don't understand
At congregation at weekends will change their behaviour
So many people are weak enough
To have to seek answers from pedlars of hope
I should know, I used to go there myself
That's the day I became antipope
Theres gonna be some fun tonight
Spending it around the town
The vicars are transvestites
With a fetish for robes and gowns
I've got nothing against church
Or the people who go there and show there
Plain ignorant they don't understand
At congregation at weekends will change their behaviour
So many people are weak enough
To have to seek answers from pedlars of hope
I should know I used to go there myself
That's the day I became antipope
Religion doesn't mean a thing
Its just another way of being right wing
I think sex films are okay
I don't dig that poko way
I've got nothing against church
Or the people who go there and show there
Plain ignorant they don't understand
At congregation at weekends will change their behaviour
So many people are weak enough
To have to seek answers from pedlars of hope
I should know I used to go there myself
That's the day I became antipope
