Kirsty MacColl - Closer To God lyrics

You turned all my dreams into nightmares
But, you won't turn my water to wine
Now you don't handle me like that rosary
I've seen you carressing now and again
Is there one law for you and another for me?
Is it written in some ancient text?
Are the wings of retreat well
Attached to your feet?
Do you think of me often
When you're with your friend?
Do you cringe a bit now and again?

Are you closer to God than
The folk you despise?
Are we closer to God than
The ants and the flies?
Is your idea of heaven my idea of hell?
When you get to those gates will
Your friend come as well?
Will the good lord preserve you
In pickle or brine?
Well if I catch you first then
He won't get the time
I'm all out of pity, you're all out of line
But remember you used to be mine
Remember you used to be mine
Are you closer to God than
The folk you despise?
Are we closer to God than
The ants and the flies?
Is your idea of heaven my idea of hell?
When you get to those gates will
Your friend come as well?
Does the lord keep you warm
In her bed every night?
Are your prayers in the morning
Just squeals of delight?
Has my mind disappeared now the
Flesh is so weak?
I notice you always say nothing to me
I notice that we never speak
I notice that we never speak

I notice that we never speak
