The Ill-Fitting Garibaldis - Whispers In The Vestry lyrics

A broken man, sits brokenhearted on the cold step of reality, he knows, no different places, no different faces and he's trying to count them all desperation, anticipation he's trying to see it all And he's climbing steps, up that mountain but he's seen the faces, felt that burn and he does want it to end, but there's a shadow coming across the sky and he knows his time is getting short What was that movie called? About that man who Climbed that mountain, but fell? Where's did my hat go, I'm sure that you had it But my mind isn't so great anymore I went to Scotland once with my parents I wish my children hadn't moved to Canada No more sadness, just utter bladness, There's a porcupine in my tree And my wife used to call me you And I used to call you her With you I'm a spare part Apart I'm a useless tool a pawn in your game of chess I once went to church, I was alone with the vicar He reached out for a bible, I got quite a shock And I knew "it was an accident, the truth I swear" But I haven't been to church since, neither has the vicar He said some words to me, that I'll never forget Keep it quiet son, like whispers in the vestry
