《Lucky Like St. Sebastian》歌词

[00:00:00] Lucky Like St. Sebastian - Momus

[00:00:19] Once upon a time there was a man called Saul

[00:00:21] Who persecuted Christians until he saw

[00:00:24] The work was bearing fruit for the Christians

[00:00:26] So the man changed his opinions

[00:00:28] And his Christian name to Paul

[00:00:32] And he wrote important chapters in the Bible

[00:00:34] But the blood on his writing

[00:00:36] Hand reeked to high heaven

[00:00:38] And Paul resolved to die

[00:00:42] So he wrote to friends in Rome

[00:00:44] A senator who owed him a favour

[00:00:46] Asking for an executioner

[00:00:49] So Paul could make his exit as a martyr

[00:00:51] The senator sent this answer:

[00:00:55] He said Should you be

[00:00:57] So lucky like St Sebastian

[00:01:01] Preferring the ache to the aspirin

[00:01:04] Swooning as they shoot the arrows

[00:01:06] Through your narrow chest

[00:01:08] Stripping naked in the Circus Maximus

[00:01:11] With a martyr eating lioness

[00:01:14] Bartering with flesh for a little pain

[00:01:20] Scenes like this give

[00:01:21] Sadomasochism a bad name

[00:01:44] Once there was a man who

[00:01:45] Loved a woman too much

[00:01:46] To give up hope when he saw she

[00:01:48] Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole

[00:01:50] He spent his whole life in the Inferno

[00:01:53] He composed in thirty four cantos

[00:01:55] O Dante though I'm anti

[00:01:58] Such romantic speculation

[00:02:00] I'm your hypocrite reader

[00:02:01] In the same situation

[00:02:02] I'm your double oh me

[00:02:05] I'm your brother in pain

[00:02:08] But Alighieri if you'll

[00:02:09] Listen there's a difference

[00:02:10] Between your Beatrice and my Paula

[00:02:13] She's anonymous and now a waitress

[00:02:16] It's comic but not divine

[00:02:19] The tragedy is no one's dying

[00:02:22] Should I be so lucky like St Sebastian

[00:02:27] Going out with a bang just hear me

[00:02:31] Whimpering with joy as Mr Death

[00:02:34] Receives his blue eyed boy

[00:02:38] Surrender unto Caesar or to

[00:02:41] God it makes no odds

[00:02:44] There's just one thing the

[00:02:45] Martyr wants to say:

[00:02:49] He says Tell me Mrs Lincoln

[00:02:53] Did you enjoy the play
