Joan Armatrading - Secular Songs Lyrics

They're singing secular songs in the churches
And there's not a of word of God
It's all Schubert and Beethoven
Oh and lots of French love songs
So let's go down on Sunday morning
To hear that Jacob sermon read
Everybody dressed in their finest church apparel baby
Listening to the preacher eulogies

Then we'll pray
Pray
Pray
Yea we'll pray
Our souls will rise upon that day
Pray
Pray
Pray
Pray we change to better ways

They're telling stories about love's passion
All about ménage a trois
Hear those heart felt Lieder
Coming from that deep bass voice
And whilst some sleep though this music
Others weep for all the pain
As they sing secular song in the churches baby
It's time to kneel let's kneel and pray

Yea we'll pray
Pray
Pray
Pray
Our souls will rise upon that day
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Pray we change to better ways

Yea we'll pray
Pray
Pray
Pray
Pray
Pray
Pray we change to better ways
