Oh My Lord Music Lyrics

I thought I'd take a walk today

It's mistake I sometimes make

Kids lay asleep in bed

My wife lay wide awake

Kissed her softly on the brow

I tried not to make a sound

But with stony eyes she looked at me

And then gently squeezed my hand

Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision

Call it intuition, somethin' learned from mother

But when she looked up at me, I could clearly see

The Sword of Damocles hangin' directly above her

Oh Lord, oh my Lord

Oh Lord

Have I offended thee?

Wrap your tender arms around me

Oh Lord, oh Lord

Oh my Lord

They called at me through the fence

They were not makin' any sense

They claimed I'd lost the plot

Kept sayin' that I was not

The man I used to be

They held their babes aloft

Threw marshmellows at the security

And said that I'd grown soft

Call it intuition, call it a creeping suspicion

But their words of derision meant they hardly knew me

For even I could see, the way they stared at me

The spear of a destiny are stickin' on right through me

Oh Lord, oh my Lord

Oh Lord

Have I offended thee?

Wrap your tender arms round me

Oh Lord, oh Lord

Oh my Lord

Now I'm at the hairdressers

People watch me as they move past

A guy wearin' plastic antlers

Presses his bum against the glass

Now I'm down on my hands and knees

And it's so fuckin' hot

Someone cries, what are you lookin' for?

I scream, the plot, the plot

I grab my telephone, I call my wife at home

She screams, leave us alone, I say, hey, it's only me

The hairdresser with his scissors, he holds up the mirror

I look back and shiver, I can't even believe what I can see

Be mindful of the prayers you send

Pray hard but pray with care

For the tears you are cryin' now

Are just your answered prayers

Ladders of life we scale merrily

Move mysteriously around

So that when you think you're climbin' up, man

In fact you're climbin' down

Into the hollows of glamour, where with spikes and hammer

With telescopic camera, they chose to turn the screw

Oh I hate them ma, oh I hate them, pa

Oh I hate them all for what they went and done to you

Oh Lord, oh my Lord

Oh Lord

Have I offended thee?

Wrap your tender arms round me

Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Oh My Lord
