olivia chaney - colin and clem lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
she is young
he is modern
she comes from
a time forgotten
he strives for things we hate
believes machines will liberate

[verse 2]
a class he is, and escaped
folks her family berate
while they make up drunk to drown
sorrows or our salvation

[chorus]
in their little country church
where we pray
and rail against
truth, untruth
a preacher preaches
for every one of us
gathered here today

[verse 3]
she throws a ball
we dressed up
dance till the moon and sun swap
eventually her father came
swung old shutters back again
[verse 4]
revealing party clothes
draped across their dining hall
feeling heathen, we crept past
ancestors hanging on the walls

[chorus]
to their little country church
where we’ve come to pray
and rail against
truth, untruth
a preacher preaches
for everyone of us
gathered here today

[bridge]
my colin wasn’t too comfortable
couldn’t tell if it was the floor
or the situation
mostly stayed behind the scenes
washing up and making conversation
as you swanned
and probably so did i
is this how
to lead our double lives?
[verse 5]
never been a puritan
never liked their wine much
but i like the way her mother gives
each guest a simple task

[verse 6]
from the future, for the past
quell desire and make it last
god knows, they transcend
the devil in every one of us

[chorus]
to their little country church
where we pray
and rail against
truth, untruth
a preacher preaches
for everyone of us
gathered here today
