Bless Me Father

Oh bless me Father, bless me Father for I have sinned

It's been twenty five years in this skin I'm living in

Forgive me, forgive me and I'll not let you down

Like Prometheus in the morning, I'm bound to come around

I hurt my little brother, I deceived my aged mother

I was called a lying bastard by my ever loving father

I've lied and I've cheated, been in brawls I never started

I've been known to fall in love more easily than I've farted

And I've cursed my friends for my own ends

But now it's time to make amends

So bless me Father, and do not mind the grin

Sixty seven years now I remember every sin

Mea culpa, mea culpa, my life's an open book

But if you show me yours then I'll give you a quick look

There was Jenny in Kilkenny, Barbara in Barbados

Helen in a back seat, Jill and Jean and both their neighbours

Henrietta, so did I, Selina and Patrice

A family of Quakers and their fifteen year old niece

A thousand other sordid nights that I cannot recall

But I never paid for sex once... Well, once, and that is all

With this girl with thighs as white as milk and tasting just like honey

And to own her for an hour you'd only have to give her money

Now you live your life of chastity and you must find it funny

That I can call you Father - you can never call me sonny

So bless me Father, and yeah, I've sinned

Enjoyed every bloody moment, so here I go again

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really, really sorry

I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry

In Amsterdam I killed a girl

In Paris I got drunk

In Brussels I went to Antwerp

In Paris I got drunk

In Antwerp I did nothing

In Paris I got drunk

In Zimbabwe I shot a dog

In Paris- what the aaagh?

Well, I caught a card shark cheating, caved his head in with a spade

He thought I was the king of fools, but I was just a knave

I seduced his wife at his funeral, I had her on his grave

So when she died I got a million bucks so I'm well laid

I got Pluto pregnant, I felched Minnie Mouse

Go fetch Mephistopheles, I'm more susceptible than Faust

I've stuffed myself on life, satisfied each and every urge

And I don't regret a moment, I'll be damned before I'm purged

Live for the moment, take your pleasures where you can

We're all dust and we'll all be dust again

Live for the moment, take your pleasures where you can

We're all dust and we'll all be dust again

Live for the moment, take your pleasures where you can

We're all dust and we'll all be dust again

So let's live, let's live, let's live, live, live, live, live

Until we die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die...
