Lyrics Joan Armatrading

Joan Armatrading

Secular Songs

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

Yea 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 mnage a 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 song in the churches baby

It's time to kneel let's kneel and pray

Yea we'll pray

Pray

Pray

Pray

Our souls will rise upon that day

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Pray we change to better ways

Yea we'll pray

Pray

Pray

Pray

Pray

Pray

Pray we change to better ways
