Mary Mary - Chumbawamba
(spoken: the Hail Mary)
No virgin me
For I have sinned
I sold my soul
For sex and gin
Go call a priest
All meek and mild
And tell him, "Mary
Is no more a child."
It's raining stones
It's raining bile
Throw in the luxury
Of your denial
So I don't deny
I don't make do
I'll press alarms
Place bets on truth
I'm so up and down
And I love what's not allowed
I was lost, now I see
And now I'm growing old disgracefully
Whatever happened to Mary? (x5)
(spoken: the Hail Mary)
I'll spit on floors
And do more drugs
Burn every bill
Get drunk on love
Wear next to nothing
In the pouring rain
Be a bad example
And do it all again
I'll be uncareful
I'll cause such scenes
And I'll never talk
Of used-to-be's
Tattoo my face
I won't go grey
Be a dancing queen
I'm growing old disgracefully
I'm so up and down
And I love what's not allowed
I was lost, now I see
And now I'm growing old disgracefully
Whatever happened to Mary? (x9)
Mary, Mary, Mary, quite contrary (x12)
(spoken: the Hail Mary, played backwards)
