The Great Deceiver (Single Edit) - Previously Unreleased
Health-food faggots with a bartered bride
Likes to comb his hair with a dipper ride
Once had a friend with a cloven foot
Once he called the tune "A chequered suite"
Great deceiver
In the door, in the floor, in a paper bag
There's a shoe-shine boy with a gin-shop slag
She raised him up and she called him son
And she canonised the ground that he walked upon
Great Deceiver
Cigarettes, ice cream
Figurines of the Virgin Mary
Cigarettes, ice cream
Figurines of the Virgin Mary
Cigarettes, ice cream
Cadillacs, blue jeans
In the night, he's a star in the Milky Way
He's a man of the world by the light of day
A golden smile and a proposition
And the breath of God smells of sweet sedition
Great Deceiver
Sing hymns, make love, get high, fall dead
He'll bring his perfume to your bed
He'll charm your life 'til the cold wind blows
Then he sell your dreams to a picture show
Cigarettes, ice cream
Figurines of the Virgin Mary
Cigarettes, ice cream
Figurines of the Virgin Mary
Cadillacs, blue jeans
Dixieland playing on the ferry
Cigarettes, ice cream
Figurines of the Virgin Mary
Cadillacs, blues jeans
Dixieland playing on the ferry
Cigarettes, ice cream
Figurines of the Virgin Mary
Likes to comb his hair with a dipper ride
Once had a friend with a cloven foot
Once he called the tune "A chequered suite"
Great deceiver

There's a shoe-shine boy with a gin-shop slag
She raised him up and she called him son
