jamie cullum – god only knows lyrics
you may say i am cynical, but i say man is flawed
he has a vague memory of before some fall
behaving like a reptile, but talks of walking tall
if god is in his image, the almighty must be small
god only knows
swaggart has been caught with his trousers round his knees
after d-mning me and you to h-ll for eternity
s-x and power and money is the prayer of these priests
they bribe their way past heaven’s gates and steal a set of keys
god only knows
my guru has been sleeping with adepts and with sheep
while i was f-cking celibate, self-righteous in belief
yesterday he was god, now he is a creep
we fell upon each other starving for belief
god only knows
i speak in the name of god
i speak in the name of that
white haired old man in the clouds
always a man
dispensing lightening justice from his fingertips
watching you every second of the day
just waiting for you to f-ck up
i speak in the name of god
i’m his intermediary
i’m a mollah, i’m a priest, i’m a vicar
if you want to go to god
you have to come through me
is heaven full, oh lord, of these babbling preachers and
god-fearing biggots
all these sef-rightious, self-appointed prophets
because if so:-
i know where i’d rather be
away from this cacophony
away from this cacophony
god only knows
god only knows
god only knows
