Beautiful South - One God Lyrics
(heaton/rotheray)Like the toupee on a fading fameThe final whistle in a losing gameThick lipstick on a five year old girlIt makes you think its a plastic worldA plastic world and were all plastic tooJust a couple of different faces in a dead mans queueThe world is turning disney and theres nothing you can doYoure trying to walk like giantsBut youre wearing plutos shoesAnd the answers fall easier from the barrel of a gunThan it does from the lips of the beautiful and the dumbThe world wont end in darkness, itll end in family funWith coca cola clouds behind a big mac sunA howling scream in a church asleepRusty bicycle in an ocean deepLike an ear-ring on the newly bornStrong perfume on a winters mornThe world is perfumed and were perfumed as wellPetals from a flower that blossomed in hellAnd you cant breathe the air through the thickness of the smellAnd you cant see the hair through the grease of the gelAnd the answers fall easier from the barrel of a gunThan it does from the lips of the beautiful and the dumbThe world wont end in darkness, itll end in family funWith coca cola clouds behind a big mac sunYou say theres only one god, you could do with two or threeYour jesus christ is hired out, like the slag of galileeWell if peter is a prostitute, then what does that make meTheres only one godThere should be two or threeOne godThere should be two or threeOne godThere should be two or threeTwo or three
