| Till the age of sixteen My place in heaven, was assured As sinless as Jesus himself By God, I was adored
Then in the hot summer of seventy six Insects, were particularly annoying Murder, with a rolled up newspaper Each wasp death, was soul destroying
I coveted the neighbour’s lawnmower For ours was old and bent So for these unforgivable sins I begged redemption, I did repent
I was a model lazy teenager Observed the Sabbath, and things were fine Then when I started working Sundays were paid at double time
I was feeling down, and asked a priest He said it’s a sin to feel suicidal That it was wrong to worship false gods So I stopped listening to Billy Idol
The pocketful of biro pens I never meant to take I didn’t remember they were there And brought them home in my mistake
The few times when I missed with a hammer I did take the lords name in vain But I always would apologise And promise not to do it again
Luckily, I lived next door To old Fred, and his wife Nancy I certainly didn’t covet her She’s not the type to fancy
I honoured my parents With my presence, when I slept I never told them what I thought Or wicked secrets that I kept
And when I flattened mother’s tulips Upset her garden pride I could have blamed it on the dog Bore false witness, but I never lied
Adultery was fast approaching Soon I would be twenty-one So I panicked and joined a monastery Where I went to heaven with a nun !
