Courteeners - De La Salle lyrics

I wonder if the De La
Salle brothers got papped
And if their Holy Mothers and
Jealous fathers ever feel trapped?
Did Mary like all the attention?
And did Jesus ever get detention?

I wonder if Caesar ever did his sums
And if Joan of Arc ever
Slipped and sliced her thumb
Chopping onions in double home economics?
And would Archimedes have liked electronics?

Panic stations don't set in
Don't worry if you're not getting the reward
That you think you deserve
Good things come to those who wait
God knows I've waited patiently
Take a ticket there's a seat here next to me

The number 17 and Steve McQueen


Seem an unlikely combination
Considering his elevation to Hollywood God
And all-round blonde Adonis
I can't see him settling
Down in Heaton Norris

Would Elvis have been able to adapt?
Would he have gone to court over
Reports his phone was tapped?
Would Priscilla remain and reside by his side
With the lonely loyalty of being his bride

Panic stations don't set in
Don't worry if you're not getting the reward
That you think you deserve
Good things come to those who wait
God knows I've waited patiently
Take a ticket there's a seat here next to me

Panic stations don't set in
Don't worry if you're not getting the reward
That you think you deserve
Good things come to those who wait
God knows I've waited patiently
Take a ticket there's a seat here next to me
