Toen ik het nummer de eerste keer hoorde vond ik het best aangenaam en zacht. De tweede keer hoorde ik een stukje van de lyrics en ben ik de radio wat luider gaan zetten.
Liedje begint na 0:42
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poorNo one laughs at God
When the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one’s laughing at God
When it’s gotten real late
And their kid’s not back from the party yetNo one laughs at God
When their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
No one’s laughing at God
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that they’re mistakenNo one laughs at God
When the cops knock on their door
And they say we got some bad news, sir
No one’s laughing at God
When there’s a famine or fire or floodBut God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
Ha ha
Ha haNo one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’ve lost all they’ve got
And they don’t know what forNo one laughs at God on the day they realize
That the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one’s laughing at God when they’re saying their goodbyes
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilariousNo one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughing at God in hospital
No one’s laughing at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very poorNo one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
We’re all laughing with God

Inderdaad, ben er ook weg van.
Ziet er een toffe madam uit, maar ik vind het nummer vreselijk. Het is een van die weinige artiesten die me instinctief onmiddellijk de radio doet afzetten.
Mooie lyrics indeed, nog niet naar het nummer geluisterd…
#grellig . Je googelt een zalig lied en je vindt het begot bij niemand minder dan Clopin.be in een blogpostje .. Heerlijk lied.
….No one’s laughing at God but every one laughs with? ;)
