Lyric: The Steps of St Paul's

Oct 28, 2011 00:26

THE STEPS OF PAUL’S

On the eve of the feasts of St Jude and St Simon
The good Christian Reverend Fraser resigned
While democracy stumbles and falls here on the steps of St Pauls.
The whispering gallery’s noisy with rumour
Great Paul’s saying nothing, but fear like a tumour
Is ruling within these fine halls under the dome of St Paul’s

Oh, my. I don't know if you have a tune yet, but it's singing one in my head...

Tune's coming, I hope... :-)

Well, I'll go listen to it when I'm done watching this episode of Doctor Who (finally got series 5 on DVD after waiting for the price to go down - £55 for 13 episodes you have GOT to be kidding me :P - and am watching the eps I hadn't seen before, since I started out just watching the River episodes). And I wonder if it'll be anything like I've heard in my head. *grins* Knowing what I know of you so far, I think it may be.

Edit: I paused the ep, and adfgassfghjgsdfg.

The melody of the first verse, apart from the first line, is almost exactly what I'd heard. That is disturbing because as far as I know, I'm not psychic. But I will share it!

Excellent.

I'm looking forward to meeting you! *happydance*

Likewise!

Well, I'm 'hearing' some sort of tune to it but I'd like to hear yours. (Hmm, I remember Bob Dylan as a social commentator. You beat him at writing protest songs, and you can sing, no contest! Now if only you could get his sort of money *g*...)

I'd settle for the exposure and a quarter or less of that. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't ambitious... but the songs are more important than me, these days. I mean, they were but when I was younger perhaps I didn't realise that.

And thank you!

To be fair, I think they were to Dylan as well at the time. We just need to make yours go viral...

Fine song, but one "huh?" moment - Gordon Brown? Did the old misery pitch a coup while I wasn't looking, or something? *Looks worried*

Check the website - main St Paul's site, then look under 'St Paul's Institute' - there he is in one of three rotating banner images, looking like the cat that got the cream. It's boggling, truly.

I spent some time researching this one. Everything in the song has a reason to be there! :-) Admittedly some of the clues are a bit... Talisian... :-)
