Liner Notes
"Spike Milligan vs The Chemical Brothers, with a bit of The Undertones thrown in for good measure is how I would describe this track. Looking back, I should have had the middle 8 as the chorus as our publishers told us but there you go! My most obvious Prince influence on the album was the James Brown guitar bit under the middle 8, except I was white and from Liverpool, so it was quite low in the mix so we didn't sound like Jamiroqui."
Paul Draper, Attack of the Grey Lantern 3CD Collectors Edition
Lyrics
Stripper Vicar (Album Version)
Dear Mavis, I'm compelled to write this letter In the hope that you may soon be getting better I've a feeling you should go and see a doctor If you haven't then you know you really oughta
I was worried so I went to see the vicar But before I could confess He first confessed to be a stripper
Dear Mavis, it was very strange to see him So I thought I'd write and ask for your opinion Should I grass on him, report him to the cardinal Or whether I should egg him on to turn professional
If I dob on him they'll call him plastic scouser But the only thing the stripper vicar wears Is plastic trousers
Mavis' opinion is all we really seek Mavis' opinion is all we
Should we lie, while he's still alive Should we lie, while he's still alive 'Cause when the vicar strips he gets away with it
Dear Mavis, thought I'd follow up my letter Drop a line about the fate of our poor vicar Very tragically his time on earth is ended
Found him gagged and bound in stockings and suspenders Dear Mavis, if you tell us what your thoughts are And I hope that they're not biased 'Cause you are the vicar's daughter
Mavis' opinion is all we really seek Mavis' opinion is all we
Should we lie now that he has died Should we lie now that he has died 'Cause when the vicar strips he gets away with it
And we know him as our vicar And by night a part time stripper And the vicar got suspended In his stockings and suspenders
And he's making wine from water While he dresses like his daughter And we know that he's a rip off 'Cause we've seen him with his kit off
Should we lie now that he has died Should we lie now that he has died 'Cause when the vicar strips he gets away with it
Lyrics by:Paul Draper
