Closer To God Lyrics

Closer To God lyrics

It's the ballad of a Catholic boy

Full of Catholic hopes and joys

Genuflect and say your prayers

Confess your sins and God will share

Bastard Grammar School

God fearing

Discipline and saving
beatings

But no one knows where we're going to

No one knows where
we've been

No one taught anything at school

As a child made
confirmation

Choose your Saint

Then choose your station

Hurt
the child

Then shove it love

It's just violence in a velvet
glove

Sunday, Church,

Confess to Father, repent your sins

Confess to Father

Four Hail Mary's, be forgiven

There's something
inside, I'm driven

Just when I thought I'd lost my way

I'm feeling
closer now

I'm getting closer now

Closer to God
