Ok, after being unable to find a copy of Church Underground on youtube, I had to make one myself. Be the first to check it out! Such a great song! Audio only - Lyrics > She stood spotlit in a plain print dress Came howling out of the wilderness There beat a cunning and murderous heart Beneath that calm exterior You know my name You dont know my mind Dont doubt my eyes They betray the past And Ive already forgotten Much more than you will ever know And every word that I have spoken is true Except for those that were broken in two Im trying to make peace after a long night of pretend I need a pawnbroker or moneylender Why do you do me down, Mister? Sing Hallelujah, Sister Turn up the volume, just to turn it down The trivial secrets buried with profound Its enough to put a Church Underground Deflowered young and then ever since Shes tried to wash off his fingerprints So every charlatan and prince Was made to feel inferior She worked for tips in a 10-cent dance Said moving pictures might pay perchance 10,000 one-way tickets to the sparkling coast From the blank interior Everybodys either talking in code Or getting ready to explode Then she was singing with five-piece band But seems that no-one wants this sound Why do you do me down, Mister? Sing Hallelujah, Sister Turn up the volume, just to turn it down The trivial secrets buried with profound Its enough to put a Church Underground The shaft of fanlight streaked with rain Poured through the glass, punched through the pain A holy picture hidden in the midden of that poisoned stitch Her lonely voice was just a ruin in these riches Must have been dreaming this all along Could she be redeeming herself in song? “Im no-ones martyred, plaster saint Below the grease, beneath the paint” Im rolling like barrel Swinging like a gallows Im rising up fast like all hell and all hallows Why do you do me down, Mister? Sing Hallelujah, Sister Ill be damned or purgatory bound Before those jokers ever understand Its enough to put a Church Underground (from > National Ransom, 2010)
