Lydia Wears a Cross

Seated in rows

Knees and eyes closed, I felt pretty

In the shoes and the dress

Confused by the rest, could he hear me?

Lydia wears a cross

Says she's never gonna take it off

We sit back to back

Listening to Jesus Christ

Superstar soundtrack

I'd be a believer

It was all just song and dance

I'd be a believer

If I thought we had a chance

Eyes to the board

Thoughts to our Lord

We were praying for

Princess Diana

Miss Brown was keeping score

Vivien's holding on

But singing every single word wrong on the parade float

Just a child in a leotard beneath a technicolour dream coat

I'd be a believer

If it was all just song and dance

I'd be a believer

If I thought we had a chance

The line up, the quiet

The bleeding heart divided

Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me, go on now, you try it

Oh

We sung "Welcome to the Family"

Arms raised at every assembly

Little sirens singing their songs

Where have the babies gone?

I'd be a believer

If it was all just song and dance

I'd be a believer

If I thought we had a chance
