Rehearsing My Choir - The Fiery Furnaces[00:00:00]

Written by：Matthew Friedberger[00:00:00]

But there was one man always whom[00:00:00]

I didn't get along[00:00:02]

The bishop[00:00:10]

Would head down head down to[00:00:11]

Deerport station[00:00:13]

To see what stars on[00:00:14]

The silver screen might be seen[00:00:15]

Or broadway stage were all the rage[00:00:17]

With his black leather autograph book[00:00:19]

And his black leather pastoral pumps[00:00:21]

And his pressed black robes[00:00:24]

And his tidy black beard of which he[00:00:25]

Was so proud[00:00:27]

And his hat that stuck out in a crowd[00:00:28]

But there he'd sit[00:00:31]

At his table at the edgewater hotel[00:00:32]

Wearing his ecclesiastical furs[00:00:34]

And lunching with two giggly and[00:00:37]

None too healthy looking young men[00:00:38]

And in his shirt pocket up close to[00:00:40]

His heart was his[00:00:41]

Autographed picture of Robert Mitchum[00:00:42]

Which he no doubt used in an impure way[00:00:44]

And I was at home rehearsing my choir[00:00:46]

On christmas day[00:01:17]

In the afternoon[00:01:19]

I got a call at home[00:01:21]

The bishop was on the phone[00:01:24]

Wanting the choir to go and sing[00:01:27]

On some channel 44 thing[00:01:29]

And I said out of the question the rest of[00:01:37]

The day is for their families[00:01:40]

And the bishop became furious[00:01:41]

All that time singing western music[00:01:43]

Christmas carols backsliding[00:01:45]

And no time to represent the diocese[00:01:47]

But of course he was just upset because[00:01:50]

He wanted to be on the show[00:01:52]

And he hated women[00:01:54]

And I knew he was angry with me[00:01:57]

But I couldn't worry about it[00:01:58]

I went about my business[00:02:02]

Rehearsing my choir[00:02:06]

Rehearsing my choir[00:02:11]

Da da da da da da da[00:02:28]

Again da da da da da da da[00:02:30]

Ugh altos out of tune[00:02:32]

Da da da da da da da[00:02:53]

That's not good da da da da da da da[00:02:55]

That sounds horrible[00:02:58]

Next Sunday was my late sister's namesday[00:03:07]

La la la[00:03:13]

And the bishop was coming that day to[00:03:21]

Our church to deliver a sermon[00:03:23]

Which would give me quite a big surprise[00:03:26]

Decadence in the church[00:03:29]

Betrayal of our traditions[00:03:33]

Look up in the choir loft for instance the lady in red[00:03:37]

Eva[00:03:41]

I ban her from receiving communion[00:03:42]

And remove her as choir director[00:03:44]

I couldn't believe my ears[00:03:46]

And the congregation couldn't believe theirs[00:03:48]

And my husband was furious when he was told as[00:03:50]

He wasn't there at the time[00:03:52]

And letters were written and phone calls were placed[00:03:54]

And the matter was taken up and I was granted an audience[00:03:57]

And I sat there nervous and frightened[00:04:03]

When into the room[00:04:06]

Stepped his eminence[00:04:07]

The Archbishop[00:04:09]

They had a strange deliberating[00:04:43]

Process at his initiative[00:04:44]

As it was his prerogative alone[00:04:46]

But the hierarch with the tallest hat and[00:04:49]

Longest beard would stand in the middle[00:04:50]

And the prelates with shorter hats and beards radiated out[00:04:53]

With the archbishop in front of them[00:04:55]

And then they began to intone[00:04:58]

And I was left on the other side of the door alone[00:05:00]

And when they came out bishop Nikolaki was sent off to[00:05:05]

San Jose[00:05:08]
