Píseň: Secular Songs

Interpret:
Joan Armatrading
Album:
Into The Blues
They're singing secular songs in the churches
 And there's not a of word of God
 It's all Schubert and Beethoven
 Oh and lots of French love songs
 So let's go down on Sunday morning
 To hear that Jacob sermon read
 Everybody dressed in their finest church apparel baby
 Listening to the preacher eulogies


 Then we'll pray
 Pray
 Pray
 Yea we'll pray
 Our souls will rise upon that day
 Pray
 Pray
 Pray
 Pray we change to better ways


 They're telling stories about love's passion
 All about ménage a trois
 Hear those heart felt Lieder 
 Coming from that deep bass voice
 And whilst some sleep though this music
 Others weep for all the pain
 As they sing secular song in the churches baby
 It's time to kneel let's kneel and pray




 Yea we'll pray
 Pray
 Pray
 Pray
 Our souls will rise upon that day
 Hallelujah
 Hallelujah
 Hallelujah
 Pray we change to better ways


 Yea we'll pray
 Pray
 Pray
 Pray
 Pray
 Pray
 Pray we change to better ways
