Lyrics The Fatima Mansions

The Fatima Mansions

Viva Dead Ponies

Do you know how Jesus feels

when he's behind his sportscar wheel

and the windscreen glass is all gummed up with blood?

Do you know how old Jesus feels?

For he walks the Earth again

but not in Mecca or in Jerusalem

No, he sells papers and beer in a shop in Crouch End [London, England]

For he walks the Earth again

[CHORUS:]

So viva dead ponies

Come out and fight me

Viva dead ponies

Customers: Drop dead

I have switched the fridges off

and I will burn down this whole stinking shop

I will get drunk and I will break every little Islamical [sic] law

for I have switched the fridges off--CHORUS
