Don’t Be A Saint

I’m an atheist prone to occasional lapses (usually when I have convinced myself that some minor ailment is life threatening) but have sometimes wondered what the gig would be like in Heaven should it exist. Not sure cherubs singing choral hymns does it for me or for that matter Sir (throw me aff the) Cliff Richard singing the God’s Prayer to the tune of Auld Land Syne. If this is the reward for a life of piety and righteousness then send me to Sodom and Gomorrah now!

The Devil by all accounts plays the best tune so it may come as some consolation that as the red hot poker is getting thrust up your jaxxie you might be listening to a bit of Sonny Boy Williamson.

lyrics

Don’t be a saint

I sold my soul to the devil and he came after me
That son of a bitch sure knew when he’s been done
I ran to my mother and pleaded for her sanctuary
But she said son, son, what have you done?
She said son, son, what have you done?

But I said mother (don’t be a saint…..)

The devil played a tune that grabbed a hold of me my friends
I promised him my soul for that tune in return
My mother screamed you listen here you no good son of a gun
You listen to that music and your soul will surely burn

The devil sent his mistress to exact a swift revenge
Her punishment was hot she’d swore it’d never end
My mother cried you’re gonna fry so grab your soul and run
I said mother hush your mouth cos I ain’t never had such fun

He said soul
I want your soul
I need you soul
To eat it whole
Don’t pretend that you’re good
And you’re just misunderstood

The devil took my soul and he laughed at me
I’m just about to get myself some fun
But when he saw the depths of my depravity
There was no doubt I was my mother’s son

So I said mother
I tell you brother
I hear you sister
In the name of my father
If you bargain with your soul
You must make sure that it’s still whole
