[Verse 1]
Well, the church burned down and no one knew
What the Pentecost Baptists was gonna do
The Sunday brimstone got so dadgum hot
It burned up a church bus in the parkin’ lot
In a panic the reverend Dr. White
Called up an ex-member than hadn’t lived right
He owned Joe’s beer joint right across the fence
It’s the same Joe’s he’d preached against

[Verse 2]
He said I don’t really want to be a hypocrite
I got a Sunday school class that’s about to st
We’re all excited about revival week
And moved by the spirit so to speak
With all the souls we saved and the money we spent
We thought God told us to sell that tent
I got a famous evangelist supposed to come
And done run out of chairs, will you loan us some?

[Verse 3]
Joe says hell you can just use the whole dang place
A9 on the jukebox “Amazing Grace”
I ain’t supposed to open because of them blue laws
But we’ll open tonight if it’s alright with y’all
Preacher said well I reckon that’d be OK
The good Lord works in mysterious ways
I was gonna talk about Joshua, Judges and Ruth
And I reckon I can do it from the DJ booth

[Chorus 1]
At the First Baptist Bar and Grill
It’s the only church in the bible belt that
smells like a whiskey still
When the sinners finish one more round
We’ll have dinner on the ground
And go inside and hell
pray we don’t get killed

[Verse 4]
The Evangelist came with a well-dressed choir
They showed up around happy hour
Looked around the joint and didn’t take it real well
said the White ministry has gone to hell
Ms. Mills that taught youth Sunday school
And two deacons in the back room shootin’ pool
Were sharin’ the Lord with a Jim Beam rep
Who was teachin’ Ms. Mills some line dance steps

[Verse 5]
Reverend White was readin’ from the book of Luke
To a tall, drunk trucker about to puke
He had John 3:16 memorized
Tryin’ to dry him out to get him baptised
The evangelist yelled about the lights and the beer
Said White you can’t save any souls in here
This place ain’t nothin’ but a den of sin
Ain’t the kind of place Baptists ought to be in
Preacher said well we don’t really need y’all here
You didn’t do a very good job last year
Only saved one sinner, that’s Todd McGuire
And he’s the little son of a bh that set my church on fire
Joe’s beer joint has done been revived
Only been here an hour and I done saved five.
Sure it’s got mirrors and a big dance floor
But I finally found the flock God called me for.

[Chorus 2]
At the First Baptist Bar and Grill
It’s the only church in the bible belt
that smells like a whiskey still
Not a stained glass window anywhere in site,
Just a blood-stained floor and neon lights,
And the communion wine
is always chilled.

[Verse 6]
We’re here every Sunday; We’re livin’ large;
We’re the only church with a cover charge.
And if you don’t like our doctrine
and think we ain’t devout,

We’ll have our bouncer throw your butt out ?
Of the First Baptist Bar and Grill

This is one of my favourite eels songs, if not THE favourite. It’s best done on
the acoustic, as it is done on the album.

Standing in the dark outside the house
Breathing in the cold and sterile air

And I was thinking how it must feel
To see that little light
And watch it as it dissapears
And fades into
And fades into the night

So I know you’re going pretty soon
Radiation sore throat got your tongue

Magic markers tattoo you
And show it where to aim
And stranger break their promises
You won’t feel any
You won’t feel any pain.

And the streets are jammed with cars
Rockings their horns
To the race to the wire
Of the unfinished line

Thought that I’d forget all about the past
But it doesn’t let me run too fast

And I just want to stand outside
And know that this is right
And this is true
And I will not
Fade into
Fade into the night

Standing her in the dark

And that just about it.

It's easy sometimes we just coast along
But like it or not something always seems to go wrong
Cm7 f9 Cm7 F9
Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down
Sometimes they will have you there because they need someone around
Perhaps you’ll receive invitations for tea
or perhaps you will laugh and you will make them all smile
Or maybe you’ll join them cause they have to be
Perhaps you’ll forget that you forgot for a while

Birds of a feather are flocking outside (4x)

like whippets they dance in a curly queue dance
of pulses and ringing and campfire chants
of ritual drumming although at first glance
you thought you could run but you won’t take a chance
it’s not an experience if they can’t bring someone along
they hang on emotions they bottle inside
they peck at the ground and they strut out of stride

Yeah, it’s just like Noah’s ark
There’s two of every kind
Pretty girls and boys in drag
Walking a fine thin line
Shaking hands and bussing cheeks
Licking their lips like they could eat
Me alive in a couple of weeks
Yea just like Noah’s ark

Chomping a big cigar
Slapping backs and making cracks
About the fags in the bar
Radio boss dipping his nose in a little white packet

The Cockettes and the Casters

Trying to hook it up for the late night shift
Here in Noah’s ark

Many rivers to cross
But I can’t seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jimmy_cliff/many_rivers_to_cross_crd.html )
Many rivers to cross
And it’s only my will that keeps me alive
I’ve been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survived because of my pride

And this loneliness won’t leave me alone
It’s such a drag to be on your own
My woman left and she didn’t[G/F#m] say why

Well I guess I have to try

Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin, I’m playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

With the Kung Fu king, there’s not enough hours in our day

Interlude: / A – – – / x1

I remember seeing someone dressed in a suit looking like a lunatic

And we all fall down, there’s not enough hours in our trip

Well, academy cartwheel’s breakin’ your hands–We got lovely posters for sale

And we all fall down, there’s not enough hours in our day

We like lovin’ yeah, and the wine we share

We like lovin’ yeah, and the wine we share

Interlude: / A – – – / G – – – / x4

Finally made our way back to the train, rolling in to Sheffield tonight

And we all fall down, there’s not enough hours in our life

So try and guess my weight and wait at the station–we’re whippin Picadilly tonight

And it all falls down, there’s not enough hours in our life

We like lovin’ yeah, and the wine we share

We like lovin’ yeah, and the wine we share

May you never lay your [G/B]head down

You’re just like great strong brother of mine;
D Gmaj7/B[/ch] D
And you know that I love you true.
Gmaj7/B[/ch]

And you never talk dirty behind my back,
D Gmaj7/B[/ch]
And I know that there’s those that do.
Gmaj7/B[/ch]

Oh please won’t you, please won’t you
Bear it in mind:
Love is a lesson to learn in our time.
Now please won’t you, please won’t you

May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold;
May you never make your bed out in the cold.

You’re just like a good close sister to me,
And you know that I love you true.
And you hold no blade to stab me in my back,
I know that there’s some that do.

Oh please won’t you, please won’t you
Bear it in mind:
Love is a lesson to learn in our time.
And please won’t you, please won’t you
Bear it in mind for me.

May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold;
May you never make your bed out in the cold.

You’re just like a great strong brother of mine,
You know that I love you true.
And you never talk dirty behind my back,
And I know that there’s those that do.

Oh please won’t you, please won’t you
Bear it in mind:
Love is a lesson to learn in our time.
And please won’t you, please won’t you
Bear it in mind for me.

May you never lose your temper,
If you get in a bar-room fight.
May you never lose your woman overnight.
May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold;
May you never make your bed out in the cold.

May you never lose your temper
If you get in a bar-room fight;
May you never lose your woman overnight.
May you never lose your woman overnight;
May you never lose your woman overnight.
May You Never
