Liner Notes:

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. Listen!

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
