new academics - animals at the altar كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
back in the days of dusty fable, we met across a table for lunch
within minutes i had grown a quasimodian hunch
that you might be the mythical ‘one’, so i slid my game-face on
and was granted your attentions via humorous inventions
dimensions, honesty and good fortunes kept us glued
hips connected, lips never rejected
but the rising tide of years brings extreme pressure weather
as spectators flock to docks demanding that our vessels tether
together with a strip torn from the hide of tradition
where women were traded to men, entering their possession
though the context may have changed, this trite rite still remains
if you refuse and resist, your lover may abandon ship, so

[bridge 1]
let’s walk through those courtroom gates

to vanquish infidelity, wielding clerical formality
your priest, imam or rabbi may file away
every increase in divorce rates under ‘moral decay’
but now that separation’s standard, rotten bonds may be abandoned
whereas before, under sheep’s clothing, wolves circled in mutual loathing, still we’d

[bridge 2]
better get approval from the church
they really know how love should work
those wise old men wearing goat hairshirts
oracles in the rectory

[verse 3]
the more seasoned amongst us tend to flower with expectation
that all couples, once ripe, will pursue marital elation
trading p-ssionate vows, a chaste kiss to wow their crowds
then bend backs against primal ploughs, filling cradles on the bough, you’ve

[bridge 3]
gotta keep your mother satisfied
it’s godd-mn awful when she cries
how the rest of your friends have been supplied
with a ring on a hired red carpet
