《Rehearsing My Choir》歌词

[00:00:00] Rehearsing My Choir - The Fiery Furnaces
[00:00:00] Written by:Matthew Friedberger
[00:00:00] But there was one man always whom
[00:00:02] I didn't get along
[00:00:10] The bishop
[00:00:11] Would head down head down to
[00:00:13] Deerport station
[00:00:14] To see what stars on
[00:00:15] The silver screen might be seen
[00:00:17] Or broadway stage were all the rage
[00:00:19] With his black leather autograph book
[00:00:21] And his black leather pastoral pumps
[00:00:24] And his pressed black robes
[00:00:25] And his tidy black beard of which he
[00:00:27] Was so proud
[00:00:28] And his hat that stuck out in a crowd
[00:00:31] But there he'd sit
[00:00:32] At his table at the edgewater hotel
[00:00:34] Wearing his ecclesiastical furs
[00:00:37] And lunching with two giggly and
[00:00:38] None too healthy looking young men
[00:00:40] And in his shirt pocket up close to
[00:00:41] His heart was his
[00:00:42] Autographed picture of Robert Mitchum
[00:00:44] Which he no doubt used in an impure way
[00:00:46] And I was at home rehearsing my choir
[00:01:17] On christmas day
[00:01:19] In the afternoon
[00:01:21] I got a call at home
[00:01:24] The bishop was on the phone
[00:01:27] Wanting the choir to go and sing
[00:01:29] On some channel 44 thing
[00:01:37] And I said out of the question the rest of
[00:01:40] The day is for their families
[00:01:41] And the bishop became furious
[00:01:43] All that time singing western music
[00:01:45] Christmas carols backsliding
[00:01:47] And no time to represent the diocese
[00:01:50] But of course he was just upset because
[00:01:52] He wanted to be on the show
[00:01:54] And he hated women
[00:01:57] And I knew he was angry with me
[00:01:58] But I couldn't worry about it
[00:02:02] I went about my business
[00:02:06] Rehearsing my choir
[00:02:11] Rehearsing my choir
[00:02:28] Da da da da da da da
[00:02:30] Again da da da da da da da
[00:02:32] Ugh altos out of tune
[00:02:53] Da da da da da da da
[00:02:55] That's not good da da da da da da da
[00:02:58] That sounds horrible
[00:03:07] Next Sunday was my late sister's namesday
[00:03:13] La la la
[00:03:21] And the bishop was coming that day to
[00:03:23] Our church to deliver a sermon
[00:03:26] Which would give me quite a big surprise
[00:03:29] Decadence in the church
[00:03:33] Betrayal of our traditions
[00:03:37] Look up in the choir loft for instance the lady in red
[00:03:41] Eva
[00:03:42] I ban her from receiving communion
[00:03:44] And remove her as choir director
[00:03:46] I couldn't believe my ears
[00:03:48] And the congregation couldn't believe theirs
[00:03:50] And my husband was furious when he was told as
[00:03:52] He wasn't there at the time
[00:03:54] And letters were written and phone calls were placed
[00:03:57] And the matter was taken up and I was granted an audience
[00:04:03] And I sat there nervous and frightened
[00:04:06] When into the room
[00:04:07] Stepped his eminence
[00:04:09] The Archbishop
[00:04:43] They had a strange deliberating
[00:04:44] Process at his initiative
[00:04:46] As it was his prerogative alone
[00:04:49] But the hierarch with the tallest hat and
[00:04:50] Longest beard would stand in the middle
[00:04:53] And the prelates with shorter hats and beards radiated out
[00:04:55] With the archbishop in front of them
[00:04:58] And then they began to intone
[00:05:00] And I was left on the other side of the door alone
[00:05:05] And when they came out bishop Nikolaki was sent off to
[00:05:08] San Jose
