Blueline Medic - Cathedral lyrics

rate me

Seventy-two now

and as mad as they come,

but even so, now on occasion

there's a few come and help

Put a crucifix, a portico just like there is at the white house

but the stain still needs more glass

I think more of red than I could see anything else.

It's one of the arguments in the cafe

for small talk of a town.

I'm no engineer they say

I'm no architect they say

as if they don't already argue enough

for it's such a lonely order that I've taken on my own

that in a house you helped to build

I suppose you're guaranteed a room

how should it matter being better held together?

The rains have proved as only they can more for faith than mortar

I want it left to the diocese

but that idiot that a bishop be so ungrateful

like it was some dislocated eyesore

so near and not to see it finished.

The holy college seeks only to adjust it

and put out of place my columns but no

they wouldn't be found dead helping me dig out the crypt

I didn't need elevations then

I'm not looking for them now

not for all the small talk in a town

Neither sane nor fool enough is the good word going round

I built the cathedral almost on my own

It stands in a house you helped to build

You're guaranteed of a place to be
