Soap, Soup And Salvation Lyrics - This Is Lone Justice: The Vaught Tapes 1983 - Lone Justice

All ill-fated sorts 

Who sleep on doorsteps and in alleyways 

Take a stumble to the corner 

There's heavenly music playin' 

No more taking recreation 

With your dark defeated friends 

They who seek the consolation of the bottle 

Never win 

Soap, soup and salvation 

Tired hearts sing in jubilation 

Restoration at the rescue mission 

Soap, soup and salvation 

Well, Brother Randall is a bit 

Long winded and a little loud 

And as he pounds the pulpit 

The sweat flies from his brow 

Making sure none are caught slumbering 

In this mournful motley crowd 

For the ones that stay awake 

Are therefore graciously endowed with... 

Soap, soup and salvation 

Tired hearts sing in jubilation 

Restoration at the rescue mission 

Soap, soup and salvation 

Procter & Gamble 

Campbell's gospel 

Watch Brother Randall wave that bible 

Bein' drunk and hungry 

Seemed like more fun cause 

They don't feed no one 

Til' all this preachin's done, oh no 

I just thought I heard the choir singing 

My old favorite song 

That old harmony is still familiar 

Though it's been so long 

Lonely faces, and empty glances 

They surround me everywhere 

But those sweet angelic voices 

Are now rising through the air... 

"When the roll is called up yonder" 

"When the roll is called up yonder" 

"When the roll is called up yonder" 

"When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there" 

With... 

Soap, soup and salvation 

Tired hearts sing in jubilation 

Restoration at the rescue mission 

Soap, soup and salvation 

With... 

Soap, soup and salvation 

Tired hearts sing in jubilation 

Restoration at the rescue mission 

Soap, soup and salvation 

Soap, soup and salvation
