If I Was The Priest - Bruce Springsteen

 If I Was The Priest

Bruce Springsteen


 

Lyrics:

There's a light on yonder mountain

And it's callin' me to shine

There's a girl over by the water fountain

And she's askin' to be mine


And Jesus is standing in the doorway

In a buckskin jacket, boots and spurs so fine

Says, "We need you, son, tonight up in Dodge City

'Cause there's just too many outlaws tryin' to work the same line"


Now if Jesus was a sheriff and I were a priest

If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief

If Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line

There's still too many bad boys tryin' to work the same line


Well, sweet Virgin Mary runs the Holy Grail Saloon

Well, for a nickel she'll give you whiskey

And a personally blessed balloon

And the Holy Ghost is the host with the most

And he runs the burlesque show

Where they let you in for free and they hit you when you go


Mary serving Mass on Sunday and she sells her body on Monday

To the bootlegger who paid the highest price

He don't know he got stuck with a loser, she's stone junkie

What's more, she's a user, she's only been made once or twice

By some kind of magic


If Jesus was a sheriff and I was a priest

If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief

If Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line

There's still too many outlaws tryin' to work the same line


Well, things ain't been the same in Heaven

Since big bad Bobby came to town

He's been known to down eleven, then ask for another round

Me, I got scabs on my knees from kneeling way too long

It's about time I played the man, took a stand where I belong

Yeah, forget about the old friends and the old times

There's just too many new boys tryin' to work the same line


Well, if Jesus was a sheriff and I were a priest

If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief

If Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line

There's just too many outlaws tryin' to work the same line


Well, there's a light on yonder mountain

And it's callin' me to shine

There's a girl over by the water fountain

She's asking to be mine


Jesus is standin' in the doorway

Six guns drawn and ready to fan

Said "We need you tonight, son, up in Dodge City"

Told him I was already overdue for Cheyenne


If Jesus was a sheriff and I were a priest

If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief

If Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line

There's still too many bad boys tryin' to work the same


If Jesus was a sheriff and I were a priest

If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief

If Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line

There's still too many bad boys tryin' to work the same


If Jesus was a sheriff and I were a priest

Letra:

Hay una luz en esa montaña

Y me está llamando a brillar

Hay una chica junto a la fuente de agua

Y ella pide ser mía


Y Jesús está parado en la puerta

En una chaqueta de piel, botas y espuelas tan finas

Dice: "Te necesitamos, hijo, esta noche en Dodge City

Porque hay demasiados forajidos tratando de trabajar en la misma línea "


Ahora si Jesús fuera un sheriff y yo un sacerdote

Si mi señora fuera una heredera y mi mamá fuera una ladrona

Si papá montara una escopeta en la línea Fargo

Todavía hay demasiados chicos malos tratando de trabajar en la misma línea


Bueno, la dulce Virgen María dirige el Salón del Santo Grial

por un centavo te dará whisky

Y un globo personalmente bendecido

Y el Espíritu Santo es el anfitrión principal

Y dirige el espectáculo burlesco

Donde te dejan entrar gratis y te golpean cuando te vas


María sirve misa el domingo y vende su cuerpo el lunes

Al contrabandista que pagó el precio más alto

Él no sabe que se quedó atrapado con un perdedor, ella es adicta a la piedra

Es más, es usuaria, solo la han hecho una o dos veces

Por algún tipo de magia


Si Jesús fuera alguacil y yo sacerdote

Si mi señora fuera una heredera y mi mamá fuera una ladrona

Si papá montara una escopeta en la línea Fargo

Todavía hay demasiados forajidos tratando de trabajar en la misma línea


Bueno, las cosas no han sido iguales en el cielo

Desde que el malvado Bobby llegó a la ciudad

Se sabe que hundió once, luego pidió otra ronda

Yo, tengo costras en mis rodillas por arrodillarme demasiado tiempo

Ya es hora de que interprete al hombre, tome una posición a la que pertenezco

Sí, olvídate de los viejos amigos y los viejos tiempos

Hay demasiados chicos nuevos tratando de trabajar en la misma línea


Bueno, si Jesús fuera un sheriff y yo un sacerdote

Si mi señora fuera una heredera y mi mamá fuera una ladrona

Si papá montara una escopeta en la línea Fargo

Hay demasiados forajidos tratando de trabajar en la misma línea


Bueno, hay una luz en esa montaña

Y me está llamando a brillar

Hay una chica junto a la fuente de agua

Ella esta pidiendo ser mia


Jesús está parado en la puerta

Seis pistolas desenvainadas y listas para abanicar

Dijo: "Te necesitamos esta noche, hijo, en Dodge City"

Le dije que ya iba con retraso para Cheyenne


Si Jesús fuera sheriff y yo sacerdote

Si mi señora fuera una heredera y mi mamá fuera una ladrona

Si papá montara una escopeta en la línea Fargo

Todavía hay demasiados chicos malos tratando de trabajar igual


Si Jesús fuera sheriff y yo sacerdote

Si mi señora fuera una heredera y mi mamá fuera una ladrona

Si papá montara una escopeta en la línea Fargo

Todavía hay demasiados chicos malos tratando de trabajar igual


Si Jesús fuera sheriff y yo sacerdote

Lazy Sod - Deep Purple

 Lazy Sod Deep Purple Lyrics: The world’s on fire And I can’t get my arse out of bed The world is on fire There’s smoke all around my head   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night……   The oceans are rising And I can’t do a thing about that So it’s hardly surprising I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, you can like it or not I’m guessing not   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot, so hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, Whether you like it, like it or not And I’m guessing not Soooo what  ------------------------------------------...

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Portable Door - Deep Purple

 Portable Door Deep Purple Lyrics: When it came to me one day in Jerksville Man, I was right on the edge That jacket's too small for a man of your size And those socks are too big for your head   My eyes glaze at whatever you say But I'm listening, do tell me more It goes under the bridge, right over my head And out through my portable door   I was trapped in a dire situation Between reason and someone-in-law The winner takes all and runs off with the ball Nothing could pleasure me more   Times were, I'd have spoken my piece For a minute or two held the floor But I can't get a word in so here I am hurtling Right out through my portable door   The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad For once in my life I am bored The public house beckons, I follow the call And slip in through my portable door   The unlikely event came upon me I wasn't prepared for the shock Once round my neck and twice round ...
