Mansun - The Duchess lyrics
Dear Mavis I'm compelled to write this letter In the hope that you may
 soon be getting better I've a feeling you should go and see a doctor If
 you haven't then you know you really oughta I was worried so I went to
 see the vicar But before I could confess he first confessed to be a
 stripper
 Dear Mavis it was very strange to see him So I thought I'd write
 and ask your opinion Should I grass on him, report him to the cardinal Or
 wether I should egg him on to turn professional If I dob on him they'll
 call him plastic scouserBut the only thing the stripper wears is plastic
 trousers
 Mavis' opinion is all we really seek Mavis' opinion is all we
 should we... Lie while he's still alive Should we lie while he's still
 alive' Cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it
 Dear Mavis, thought
 I'd follow up my Cast your stone now he who never sins Clearly all your
 roles are now
 defined(You've got yours but I have broken mine)Simply just reflections
 ofMy honest professional belief that I am God(I am God) Stop me before I
 go over the edgeStop me before I go over the edgeStop me before I...
 Happy children specially in need(Send them to the dentist they willMansun - The Duchess - http://motolyrics.com/mansun/the-duchess-lyrics.html
 bleed)Before you get to know exhesitate(Could be gay or could be
 straight)Your mental state which separatesThe action from intention,
 wash your hands(Wash your hands) Stop me before I go over the edgeStop
 me before I go over the edgeStop me before I... Only for tinselOnly for
 tinsel Stop me before I go over the edgeStop me before I go over the
 edgeStop me before I... letter Drop a line about the fate of our poor
 vicar Very
 tragically his time on earth is ended Found him gagged and bound in
 stockings and suspenders Dear Mavis if you tell us what your thoughts are
 And I hope that they're not biased 'cos you are the vicar's daughter
 Mavis' opinion is all we really seekMavis' opinion is all we should
 we... Lie now that he has died Should we lie now that he has died 'Cos
 when the vicar strips he gets away with it
 And we know him as our vicar
 and by night a part-time stripper And the vicar got suspended in his
 stockings and suspenders And he's making wine from water while he dresses
 like his daughter And we know that he's a rip off 'cos we've seen him
 with his kit off Should we lie now that he has diedShould we lie now
 that he has died' Cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it
