Lucky Like St. Sebastian - Momus[00:00:00]

Once upon a time there was a man called Saul[00:00:19]

Who persecuted Christians until he saw[00:00:21]

The work was bearing fruit for the Christians[00:00:24]

So the man changed his opinions[00:00:26]

And his Christian name to Paul[00:00:28]

And he wrote important chapters in the Bible[00:00:32]

But the blood on his writing[00:00:34]

Hand reeked to high heaven[00:00:36]

And Paul resolved to die[00:00:38]

So he wrote to friends in Rome[00:00:42]

A senator who owed him a favour[00:00:44]

Asking for an executioner[00:00:46]

So Paul could make his exit as a martyr[00:00:49]

The senator sent this answer:[00:00:51]

He said Should you be[00:00:55]

So lucky like St Sebastian[00:00:57]

Preferring the ache to the aspirin[00:01:01]

Swooning as they shoot the arrows[00:01:04]

Through your narrow chest[00:01:06]

Stripping naked in the Circus Maximus[00:01:08]

With a martyr eating lioness[00:01:11]

Bartering with flesh for a little pain[00:01:14]

Scenes like this give[00:01:20]

Sadomasochism a bad name[00:01:21]

Once there was a man who[00:01:44]

Loved a woman too much[00:01:45]

To give up hope when he saw she[00:01:46]

Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole[00:01:48]

He spent his whole life in the Inferno[00:01:50]

He composed in thirty four cantos[00:01:53]

O Dante though I'm anti[00:01:55]

Such romantic speculation[00:01:58]

I'm your hypocrite reader[00:02:00]

In the same situation[00:02:01]

I'm your double oh me[00:02:02]

I'm your brother in pain[00:02:05]

But Alighieri if you'll[00:02:08]

Listen there's a difference[00:02:09]

Between your Beatrice and my Paula[00:02:10]

She's anonymous and now a waitress[00:02:13]

It's comic but not divine[00:02:16]

The tragedy is no one's dying [00:02:19]

Should I be so lucky like St Sebastian[00:02:22]

Going out with a bang just hear me[00:02:27]

Whimpering with joy as Mr Death[00:02:31]

Receives his blue eyed boy[00:02:34]

Surrender unto Caesar or to[00:02:38]

God it makes no odds[00:02:41]

There's just one thing the[00:02:44]

Martyr wants to say:[00:02:45]

He says Tell me Mrs Lincoln [00:02:49]

Did you enjoy the play[00:02:53]
