The Church Of The Holy Spook Lyrics - Shane Macgowan And The Popes

My Daddy was a sinner, but my 

Mother was a saintly person 

But I ruined my life by drinking, bad 

Wives, taking pills and cursing 

Rock and roll you crucified me, 

Left me all alone 

I never should have turned my back on 

The old folks back home 

Give me that Church of the Holy Spook 

Church of the Holy Spook 

Church of the Holy Spook, 

It's good enough for me 

It was good for me dear old Daddy 

And my dear old Mammy too 

Give me that Church of the Holy Spook 

I don't need nothin' new 

I believe in the Church of the Holy Spook 

I believe that he's in me 

The Tao is like a river, 

So float along with me 

When the sacred blood of the Holy Ghost 

Is boiling in my veins 

I think of Jesus on the cross 

And I scream out for his pain. 

Give me that Church of the Holy Spook 

Church of the Holy Spook 

Church of the Holy Spook, 

It's good enough for me 

It was good for me dear old Daddy 

And my dear old Mammy too 

Give me that Church of the Holy Spook 

I don't need nothin' new
