This is a lighthearted one
While writing some notes for Sunday morning, and for some reason ended up writing a spoof of Britney Spears' "Womaniser" ... looking up the original has probably messed up my search algorithms. Maybe there's something profound under this about just what it is we do on a Sunday morning ... sorry if you have the tune stuck in your head now
So, I give you .... Sermoniser ....
Before you ask, I will never try to play or sing this .... Although if anyone else wants to give it a try .....
Super-style pulpit star
Tryna preach, tryna spar
Always quoting verse so far
(But I ain’t hypnotised)
Don’t try to front, I know just what you are (what you are, sermoniser)
Don’t try to front, I know just what you are (what you are, sermoniser)
You got me going, you’re oh so high and holy,
But I can see your outline —
You’re more show than homily.
You say you’re spiritual,
But I know, rhetorical,
Words are slick, methodical,
But I ain’t that gullible.
Sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser (don’t try to hide it)
Sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser (yeah, you’re just a preacher)
Sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser (you got the crowd excited)
Sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser (but I ain’t recited)
Look at you, all suited new, with your points in three,
Think theology’s a game of TED-Talk energy,
You got applause, but I know the truth inside —
I’m not that mesmerised, you can’t baptise my mind.
You think you’ve got the call,
But it’s just a monologue,
Quotin’ saints and psalms,
But it’s all a dialogue.
Sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser (don’t try to hide it)
Sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser (yeah, you’re just a preacher)
Sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser (you got the crowd excited)
Sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser (but I ain’t recited)
Maybe you’ve got the crowd,
But I can see through your style,
Think your sermon’s profound,
But it’s dragged on quite a while…
Preacher, preacher, preacher, oh — you’re so predictable
Preacher, preacher, preacher, no — I’ve heard it all before
Sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser (don’t try to hide it)
Sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser (yeah, you’re just a preacher)
Sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser (you got the crowd excited)
Sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser, sermoniser (but I ain’t recited)
Outro: “Oh-oh-oh-oh” over swelling organ chords.
