Story about this misheard lyric by: Ana I really thought Midge Ure sang those words. It was puzzling, given the overall grandeur of the band's style. Mind you, I was twelve at the time so might be forgiven... |
Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"Hymn"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Give us this day
All that you showed me The power and the glory 'til thy kingdom come Give me all the storybook told me the faith and the glory 'til thy kingdom come Why They're Repetitive: This is a really good song, but these lyrics are repeated too many times!
