Divine Comedy Eye Of The Needle Lyrics

Eye Of The Needle Lyrics

They say that you'll hear him if you're really listening 

And pray for that feeling of grace 

But that's what I'm doing, why doesn't he answer? 

I've prayed 'til I'm blue in the face 



The cars in the churchyard are shiny and German 

Distinctly at odds with the theme of the sermon 

And during communion I study the people 

Threading themselves through the eye of the needle

I know that it's wrong for the faithful to seek it 

But sometimes I long for a sign, anything 

Something to wake up the whole congregation 

And finally make up my mind 



The cars in the churchyard are shiny and German 

Completely at odds with the theme of the sermon 

And all through communion I stare at the people 

Squeezing themselves through the eye of the needle
