One God Lyrics by Beautiful South, The

One God Lyrics

    (heaton/rotheray)
    Like the toupee on a fading fame
    The final whistle in a losing game
    Thick lipstick on a five year old girl
    It makes you think it's a plastic world

    A plastic world and we're all plastic too
    Just a couple of different faces in a dead man's queue
    The world is turning disney and there's nothing you can do
    You're trying to walk like giants
    But you're wearing pluto's shoes

    And the answers fall easier from the barrel of a gun
    Than it does from the lips of the beautiful and the dumb
    The world won't end in darkness, it'll end in family fun
    With coca cola clouds behind a big mac sun

    A howling scream in a church asleep
    Rusty bicycle in an ocean deep
    Like an ear-ring on the newly born
    Strong perfume on a winter's morn

    The world is perfumed and we're perfumed as well
    Petals from a flower that blossomed in hell
    And you can't breathe the air through the thickness of the smell
    And you can't see the hair through the grease of the gel

    And the answers fall easier from the barrel of a gun
    Than it does from the lips of the beautiful and the dumb
    The world won't end in darkness, it'll end in family fun
    With coca cola clouds behind a big mac sun

    You say there's only one god, you could do with two or three
    Your jesus christ is hired out, like the slag of galilee
    Well if peter is a prostitute, then what does that make me

    There's only one god
    There should be two or three
    One god
    There should be two or three
    One god
    There should be two or three
    Two or three
