lyrics

One by one we marched down to the river
With an empty bottle for the baptism
You can pour the water over me
But don't take that as a guarantee
God knows there are some sins that can't be forgiven

When we met you told me you once flew high
And with no regret I said Boy! do i!
Well you can pour the water on my head
Some folks are so easily led
Some home truths better put to bed, that's no lie

I am trying I am trying Lord, my best efforts to be
A saint amongst temptation and the lures of being free
Instead of paving i've been digging now there's dirt all over me
Let's pop these spades away..
Pour the water over me

Dinner Plates are made for good home cooking
Now a pass the parcel, no one's looking
You can pass that old plate on to me
I'll try my best as referee
But If my whistle breaks, can't guarantee i'll say no

Coz I'm trying I am trying Lord, my best efforts to be
A saint amongst temptation and the lures of being free
Instead of paving i've been digging now there's dirt all over me
Let's pop these spades away..
Pour the water over me

Let's pop these spades away
Pour the water over me
