Popemobile to paraguay


The postmark read asuncion...

By the foul adriatic there can be some dramatic
Variations in the temperature
So you cant recall which s.s. dress to wear
But the king of the papists is a friend of the rapists
And the upside-down crucifixion squad
So escape from sure defeat is thus arranged

A man with your knowledge of electrical goods
Should not be condemned because hes misunderstood
Trip from zagreb to rome, and on to asuncion
In the clothes of a bishop, the new beard being your own

Chorus:
You may think we look stupid, but were paying the rent
And we wont trade our fortunes for a hippy tent
Weve been all colours of angels with both wings on the right
And weve supped and weve coupled through our mystic life

Eternal city, firm and true, no naked crimson lights
Constant like an anthrax bomb, honest like a knife...
All of this must never die
Popemobile to paraguay

Its been a while since you said heil
You cia-bred necrophile
No russkies left to rail at, not for now
But the slavs in their millions
With their scrapheaps of children
Must replace your south americans
More skulls to keep your mafia in the mafia top ten

Theyll mass when commanded, theyll hate when theyre told
Theyll murder their neighbours for the good of their soul
Theyll punish your enemies if youll read out their names
Theyll be adorning the bridges from the don to the thames--chorus

Cleansing faces of their smiles
Butchers sheltered and praised
Meeting pain with fairytales
Dead bank-balances raised
All of this must never die
Popemobile to paraguay

You may think we look stupid, but were behind with the rent
How much am I bid for this real piece of jesus polyester tent?
Polyester tent which my dad just sent
And its lock up the women, burn this book for me, man
Send sweeties and flowers to teh-huh-ran
Lock up the women, burn this book for me, man
Send sweeties and flowers to my pal in tehran
In eye-ran

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Fatima Mansions were an art rock group formed in 1988 by Cathal Coughlan, a singer/keyboardist from Cork, formerly of Microdisney. The band's name came from a working-class housing estate in Rialto, Dublin, where John Roberts lived. Their sound blended art rock, post-punk and electronic music, with often introspective and poetic lyrics. Notable tracks include "The Ballad of the Fatima Mansions", "A Little Bit of Heaven" and "The Last Day of Summer". The group released three studio albums: "The Fatima Mansions" (1989), "The Second Coming" (1990) and "The Great Escape" (1992).
