Текст песни The Trailing Skirts of God (Bell X1) с переводом

I’m seven years old,

And my bow-tie's askew

Gonna get some body of Jesus Christ

In a brown velvet suit

All the girls are dressed

Like angels

How sweetly they sang

Oh be not afraid of Us delicate meringues

The trailing skirts of God

Have passed on by It’s five years later and

I’m on my knees again

I am here to confirm what my Parents began

And I promise to abstain from

Intoxicating liquor

But the flesh, it is weak,

And my faith was never stronger

The trailing skirts of God

Have passed on by But oh how I cling on Cos it’s been a rich seam of song

And though it’s make-believe

Can I bring myself to leave

This lie’s been burning too long

Sometimes in my teens up in Kellyer’s bedroom

Skipping on Saturday evening

Mass for some solvent abuse

As the world spun around me,

And I eased to the floor

Must remember to get that sermon,

And keep the wolf from the door

The trailing skirts of God

Have passed on by

I’ve drifted far from you

In this bloodless coup

I say good-day and adieu
