Get Me To The Monastery

Divine Comedy song, Get Me To The Monastery (the image is of the Catholic priest and poet, Gerard Manley Hopkins, which somehow seemed apt). It is a B-side to the single 'Love What You Do'.

One of my all-time favorite songs. A great anthem for world weariness.

I wanna get up at the crack of dawn And not speak to anyone, Just eat, sleep and meditate on What we mean by God. Let, Let the people choose - Well, it's heads you win and heads you lose. It's your call now. So get, Get me to a monastery 'Cause you show me things I don't wanna see. And I've seen it all now, I've seen it all now And I wanna get up at the crack of dawn And not speak to anyone, Just eat, sleep and meditate on What we mean by God By God, By God, By God, By God.

Get, Get me to a monastery 'Cause if this is what it means to be free, Then I don't need it. Get, Get me to the church on time 'Cause I've had enough of secular life, You can keep it. I wanna get up at the crack of dawn And not speak to anyone, Just eat, sleep and meditate on What we mean by God. Drop, Drop me in the wilderness 'Cause I'd rather starve than live in a mess I you can't progress. Lock, Lock me in a padded cell 'Cause I suddenly don't feel very well, It all seems pointless.
