The worst bit of lyric writing of my career appeared in this song in the middle eight, but it was left over from an old school song I had, so I'll excuse myself. I would like to add I've never used any lyrics about flying through the sky since! We had a big choral ensemble of Liverpool's finest rogues to sing the ending of the album, and we all gathered at [[Parr Street Studios]] to perform the outro of this one together. Probably one of the best days in the studio we ever had! There is a subliminal message towards the very end of the singing with a chant about Duncan Ferguson.

Lyrics
Wait around
I'll be walking quite a while
Don't be late, hard to take
Vicar twists and gets away
His lipstick's running
His dress is stunning
He's got high heels on
And his flock don't care now
Mavis, what he will wear?
In the path of righteous man
There is rubble where I stand
I'll be the one
You can kiss his vase
Until the end of the month
Vicar stay, 'cause your lipstick
Smeared away from your face
Vicar twist
Gray pajamas in your case
His tights are nylon
His nails by Revlon
He's got high heels on
And his flock don't care now
Mavis, what he will wear?
In the path of righteous man
There is rubble where I stand
I'll be the one
You can kiss his vase
Until the end of the month
And if you should see me passing by
Do not disturb me as I fly
Though I am walking here
This is where I'll be
In the path of righteous man
There is rubble where I stand
I'll be the one
You can kiss his vase
Until the end of the month
In the path of righteous man
There is rubble where I stand
I'll be the one
You can kiss his vase
Until the end of the month
Until the end of the month
Until the end of the month
Oh yeah, yeah
Na na na na na na na, oh
