One God Lyrics - Beautiful South

(Heaton/Rotheray) 

Like the toupee on a fading fame 

The final whistle in a losing game 

Thick lipstick on a five year old girl 

It makes you think it's a plastic world 

A plastic world and we're all plastic too 

Just a couple of different faces in a dead man's queue 

The world is turning Disney and there's nothing you can do 

You're trying to walk like giants 

but you're wearing Pluto's shoes 

And the answers fall easier from the barrel of a gun 

Than it does from the lips of the beautiful and the dumb 

The world won't end in darkness, it'll end in family fun 

With Coca Cola clouds behind a Big Mac sun

A howling scream in a church asleep 

Rusty bicycle in an ocean deep 

Like an ear-ring on the newly born 

Strong perfume on a winter's morn 

The world is perfumed and we're perfumed as well 

Petals from a flower that blossomed in hell 

And you can't breathe the air through the thickness of the smell 

And you can't see the hair through the grease of the gel 

And the answers fall easier from the barrel of a gun 

Than it does from the lips of the beautiful and the dumb 

The world won't end in darkness, it'll end in family fun 

With Coca Cola clouds behind a Big Mac sun 

You say there's only one God, you could do with two or three 

Your Jesus Christ is hired out, like the slag of Galilee 

Well if Peter is a prostitute, then what does that make me

There's only one God 

There should be two or three 

One God 

There should be two or three 

One God 

There should be two or three 

Two or three
