13th Century Boy Lyrics - Singles - Fatima Mansions

you don't live the way you should 

you're not chaste or wise or good 

oh no, when you're human 

i wait for you my queen 

i keep myself ready clean like my maker 

against nature 

i needn't worry about all the wars out there 

the price of fish and all the ineffective hygiene 

you are the reason why i've reached perfection 

you are the reason why i try to tend this fertile void 

i'm a 13th century boy 

these are heroic times 

so thumb your nose at years gone by 

be hardened...we're a legend 

now love keeps the country green 

i know because i've seen the pictures 

in this week's scriptures 

all i know is that i feel you coming near 

all you need know is that your prophatelector is waiting 

you are the reason why i've reached perfection 

you are the reason why i try to tend this fertile void 

and i'm a 13th century boy 

you are the reason why i live forever 

you are the reason why i learned to love the void 

oh i'm a 13th century boy 

oh i'm a new gone ages boy 

i'm a 13th century boy
