New songs for next years tour

Just working on which songs to include in the new set for next years follow up concert to ‘A sting in the tale’ and came across this song which I wrote in 1982.

I realise that most will say that the most inspired song that I have written is ‘Father God I Wonder’ but I think that the truth and humour behind this little Glories song were also quite inspired.

Yep I must put this in the new set and of course I’ve got plenty of true stories to introduce it!

Supernaturally from the album ‘The Power and the Glories’.
Well once I saw a fellah, he was looking kinda yella
He didn’t look well at all
He looked morose cos the doctor diagnosed
That he couldn’t help him at all
Then the Glories said, with their hands upon his head
Disease leave this man be
I’m now assured that he’s well and truly cured
Cos he looks more fit than me!

I don’t understand these Glories
They’re just the same as me
They’re naturally not super
But they’re supernaturally

We met to break bread when a Glorie said
We are clean out of wine
I said don’t worry, I’ll reach the shop if I hurry
Just before closing time
They said sit tight it will be alright
A jug of water will do
They bowed their heads and the water went red

I don’t understand these Glories
They’re just the same as me
They’re naturally not super
But they’re supernaturally

And I well remember last December
Our Christmas dinner dish
The table looked bare as we all sat there
With some bread and a couple of fish
It seemed the time and place for an extra long grace
So this we decided to do
That night our appetite got satisfied alright
And we filled the freezer too!

I don’t understand these Glories
They’re just the same as me
They’re naturally not super
But they’re supernaturally

I remember how we cried, when a friend of ours had died
He’d received his final call
I thought to show our sorrow we should call up interflora
To send a wreath from us all
But the Glories thought best to reach the chapel of rest
They said it’s never too late
They prayed, he was raised, and the Vicar said amazed
Postponed to a later date!

I don’t understand these Glories
They’re just the same as me
They’re naturally not super
But they’re supernaturally
