The Loveliest Man In Town - Electric Six

All we ever wanted was a vault for all our stories

A place to stash the grievances of the Lib, Dems and the Tories

So we took to the streets with baseball bats 'cause they never gave us none of

that

They said «show us your appreciation for the loveliest man in town»

For the Loveliest man in town can’t be found

Anywhere in town

Inside the church sleeps the vicar

Dreaming of young boys and a clown

It doesn’t get much sicker

Until the viceroy comes to town

He knows not what he’s walking into but he’ll surely come around

Forced to come to Jesus and to weep beneath his crown

'Cause it’s impossible to pin him down

He’s the loveliest man in town…

Allow me to interject here, to lessen the stress and strife

I’ve lived in this town for forty years

It’s been the best forty years of me life

And, oh, we watch our gardens glow

And cups of tea happen…

All the pubs have been shuttered

All the sinners have done sinned

The last insults have all been muttered

And the rubbish blows in the wind

A barmaid on her way back home

Happens upon a weak piss rome

She helps him to his feet

And she turns him back around

He said «Hey what’s with that awful frown

I’m the loveliest man in town»

The loveliest man in town…

The loveliest man in town…

The loveliest man in town…
