Sainte Augustine In Hell -lyrics by Gordon Sumner /altered and additional lyrics by Eleonora

If somebody up there likes me, somebody up there cares
deliver me from evil, save me from these wicked snares
not into temptation, not to cliffs of fall
on to revelation, and lessons for us all

He walked into the room on the arm of my best friend
I knew whatever happened our friendship would end
chemical reaction, desire at first sight
mystical attraction, turned out all my lights

The minute I saw his face, the second I caught his eye
the minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
The minute I saw his face, the second I caught his eye
the minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die

I don't know if it's pain or pleasure that I seek
my flesh was all too willing, my spirit guide was weak
I was deadly certain her thoughts for me weren't kind
A switchblade in her pocket, murder on her mind

Blessed St. Theresa the whore of Babylon
Madonna and my mother all rolled into one
you've got to understand me, I'm not a piece of wood
Francis of Assisi could never be this good

The minute I saw his face, the second I caught his eye
the minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
The minute I saw his face, the second I caught his eye
the minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die

Relax, have another cocktail, make yourself at home.
Hell is full of rock stars, actors, failed saints.
We've got jazz singers, scorned lovers, desperate houswives,
fallen angels, players, music critics, they're all here.
You're not alone, you're never alone, not here you're not.
OK break's over...

The minute I saw his face, the second I caught his eye
the minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
The minute I saw his face, the second I caught his eye
the minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die

The less I need the more I get, make me chaste but not just yet
It's a promise or a lie, I'll repent before I die
