Stripper Vicar Lyrics

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
'Cos 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 'cos 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
'Cos 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
'Cos we've seen him with his kit off

Should we lie now that he has died
Should we lie now that he has died
'Cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it

this song is the shit... i hope somebody starts commenting on these mansun songs, because mansun is seriously amazing... i love their music... it's so energetic, but it still reflects some social unrest... it doesn't pretend that everything is all good, but it's still happy about life. i like that.

Well, what can i say about the lads from Chester!!! Saw them way back in 1996 in Leeds in a gig that coined the phrase "Stop throwing shoes on stage!". This song is fantastic live .... just like all Mansun material (what you hear on the vinyl / cd is what you get at a gig).

brilliant lyrics,brilliant song,brilliant band.

Very funny song but I think that it has a serious side about people in positions of respect or power and the moral dilema of whether to let people know what they really get up to when they think nobody is watching.

I love this song!

Cover art for Stripper Vicar lyrics by Mansun

one of the best songs ever written, by one of the best bands ever to exist. so melodic yet it hints at this weird deeper menace.

What an amazing song. The meaning is pretty damn obvious, but wow...

basically, I'll echo what paul_banks said. "melodic yet it hints at this weird deeper menace". Well put.
