The Church of the Holy Spook Songtext
von Shane MacGowan and the Popes

My daddy was a sinner
But my mother was a saintly person
But I ruined my life by drinking
Bad wives, taking pills and cursing
Rock and roll, you crucified me
Left me all alone
I never should have turned my back on
The old folks back at home

Give me that Church of the Holy Spook
Church of the Holy Spook
Church of the Holy Spook
It′s good enough for me
It was good for me dear old daddy
And my dear old mummy too
Give me that Church of the Holy Spook
I don't need nothin′ new


I believe in the Church of the Holy Spook
I believe that he's in me
The Tao is like a river
So float along with me

When the sacred blood of the Holy Ghost
Is boiling through my veins
I think of Jesus on the cross
And I scream out for his pain

Give me that Church of the Holy Spook
Church of the Holy Spook
Church of the Holy Spook
It's good enough for me
It was good for me dear old daddy
And my dear old mummy too
Give me that Church of the Holy Spook
I don′t need nothin′ new


Give me that Church of the Holy Spook
Church of the Holy Spook
Church of the Holy Spook
It's good enough for me
It was good for me dear old daddy
And my dear old mummy too
Give me that Church of the Holy Spook
I don′t need nothin' new
