Naked as I am I'm happy sad bulk of a man
And I can show you everything
But I'm just doing the best that I can
And there are no escapes
Come join me in my world
And the exits are blocked off
My girl
You were very young when the law came to take you away
You had that stuff in your hair
Get you in troubles some day
There's no let up or no respite
No answers in anyway
God bless you
God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet
And keeps his shoes clean
God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet
And keeps his shoes clean
And I can show you everything
But I'm just doing the best that I can
And there are no escapes
Come join me in my world
And the exits are blocked off
My girl
You had that stuff in your hair
Get you in troubles some day
There's no let up or no respite
No answers in anyway
God bless you
God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet
And keeps his shoes clean
God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet
And keeps his shoes clean

The whole thing about God kicking with both feet is an old Irish/Northern Irish phrase, I think, and it's about the 'troubles' (understatement if I ever saw one) in Ireland. In case you don't get it, Protestants and Catholics both claim they're right about everything (including God) and that God is on their side - in other words, God apparantly kicks out against both religions, and yet there's no real mark to show this. The only people doing any kicking are the people on Earth who are kicking each other. Mind you, I'm an ignorant Englishman whose only tie to Ireland is that my cousin's wife is Northern Irish and that my great-grandmother was Irish. If anyone with more expertise wants to set any of that straight, feel free.
