Armatrading, Joan - Secular Songs Lyrics






They're singing secular songs in the churches
And there's not a of word of God
It's all Schubert and Beethoven
Oh and lots of French love songs
So let's go down on Sunday morning
To hear that Jacob sermon read
Everybody dressed in their finest church apparel, baby
Listening to the preacher eulogies

Then we'll pray
Pray
Pray
Yeah we'll pray
Our souls will rise upon that day
Pray
Pray
Pray
Pray
We change to better ways

They're telling stories about love's passion
All about ménage à trois
Hear those heart felt Lieder
Coming from that deep bass voice
And whilst some sleep though this music
Others weep for all the pain
As they sing secular songs in the churches, baby
It's time to kneel
Let's kneel and pray

Yeah we'll pray
Pray
Pray
Pray
Our souls will rise upon that day
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Pray
We change to better ways

Yeah we'll pray
Pray
Pray
Pray
Pray
Pray
Pray
We change to better ways

    A lovely track.

    wow,,,can't believe there's been to comments or reaction to this release by Joan Armatrading...as is common, this is again Joan at her best...musically and lyrically...what a message in this song...maybe the religious undertone (overtone?)is what people aren't hearing or don't want to hear...i'm finding this tune more spiritual than religious but that's just my interpretation...woke up this morning with this song on my mind after not hearing for a lot of years...don't know why this came to me but i refreshed my memory by listening to it over and over on this fine Tuesday morning in January 2019...yes indeed, let us pray we change to better ways...May God hear us...

    Joan most certainly deserves more attention, recognition and respect. All gods and religions deserve much less attention and respect- zero actually...I believe in creating beauty, joy, peace, happiness and justice, freedom n liberty for all. All gods and all religion offers the exact opposite of all that. I'm into things much better than fairytales n fakery...Keep searching and you might find the same.🙂
