Electric Six - The Loveliest Man In Town lyrics

All we ever wanted was a vault for all our stories A place to stash the grievances of the Lib, Dems and the Tories So we took to the streets with baseball bats ’cause they never gave us none of that They said “show us your appreciation for the loveliest man in town” For the Loveliest man in town can’t be found Anywhere in town Inside the church sleeps the vicar Dreaming of young boys and a clown It doesn’t get much sicker Until the viceroy comes to town He knows not what he’s walking into but he’ll surely come around Forced to come to Jesus and to weep beneath his crown ‘Cause it’s impossible to pin him down He’s the loveliest man in town… Allow me to interject here, to lessen the stress and strife I’ve lived in this town for forty years It’s been the best forty years of me life And, oh, we watch our gardens glow And cups of tea happen… All the pubs have been shuttered All the sinners have done sinned The last insults have all been muttered And the rubbish blows in the wind A barmaid on her way back home Happens upon a weak piss rome She helps him to his feet And she turns him back around He said “Hey what’s with that awful frown I’m the loveliest man in town” The loveliest man in town… The loveliest man in town… The loveliest man in town…
