Cathedral Call
Wrote to God for an interview
Resides at Beaulieu House
He said "You can call me Lord Montague"
and "I don't remember calling you"
I said "I want my very own cathedral
it wasn't a thought I heard your call
I want my very own cathedral
I need a job move over St Paul"
"Your work experience looks bleak
Since leaving school you've signed on every two weeks"
"Well I thought that God cherished the meek
and the DSS said I can start this week"
I said "I want my very own cathedral
it wasn't a thought I heard your call
I want my very own cathedral
I need a job move over St Paul"
"I'll live in the vestry
I know the good book you can test me
I know Genesis has been around for a while
I don't mind the earlier stuff but Phil Collins is shit"
I said "I want my very own cathedral
it wasn't a thought I heard your call
I want my very own cathedral
I need a job move over St Paul"
"What do you mean you don't believe me?
I know what you said it was true vision
You told me to tell you where's your faith man?
It wasn't up to me it was your decision!"
I said "I want my very own cathedral
it wasn't a thought I heard your call
I want my very own cathedral
I need a job move over St Paul
You can call me Dean, you know what I mean
I can see it now, move over St Salisbury!
Amen
I said "I want my very own cathedral
it wasn't a thought I heard your call
I want my very own cathedral
I need a job move over St Paul
From Genesis to Revelations
From to dole queue to meditation
I'll twist the same old stories mend and teach them
I'll even learn to sing like Harry Secombe
I said "I want my very own cathedral
it wasn't a thought I heard your call
I want my very own cathedral
I need a job move over St Paul
