Boomtown Rats - Nice 'N' Neat lyrics

rate me

Through tunnel vision watch him rant and rave

He says there's life beyond the grave

He lost his slice of the eternal cake

Well, God's in His Heaven and He's on the take

That's nice (that's nice) that's neat (that's neat)

It's bitter and it's sweet, is it trick and treat

You're talkin' fast but you're preaching feast - now

Bits and pieces I remember slightly, it was a long time ago

We'd have our hot and holy conversations

And solve the problems of the drunken world

Now a clerical collar chokes at your convictions

You strangle slowly for the old addiction

It's Heaven's army and you're so professional

But listen closely to this closed confessional

That's nice (that's nice), it's neat (it's neat)

It's bitter and sweet, is it trick and treat

You're talkin' fast but you're preaching feast now

We'd take a recipe for religion

And bring it to the theological kitchen

Mix it up to make our own concoction

Believed in God but you'd shake a fist at him

And Ray, does it seem holy, hey Ray-ay, does it seem hard

And Ray-ay, it isn't that easy - now-ow

Oh-hoh-hoh, oh-hoh-hoh, oh-hoh-hoh

Oh-hoh-hoh, oh-hoh-hoh, oh-hoh-hoh

You said you spoke to God and asked a question

You were wonderin' what's the use of it all

He said everybody does what they want to

Provided that it's true, that's all

He said, hey Big G you said there's my problem

I'm not so sure 'bout what's true

He said I'll let you in on my big secret, Ray

The final truth is - there is no truth, and

Na-na-na-na, bop shoo wop shoo wop

Na-na-na-na, Oh-hey-yeah

Na-na-na-na, bop shoo wop shoo wop-ac
