lyrics

There Must Be More To It Than That

The state politician resigned from his seat
After police made a search of his flat
To spend some more time with family and friends
There must be more to it than that

Lenny was found by the side of the road
With a knife sticking out of his back
The coroner said it was a case of self-harm ...
There must be more to it than that!

The bishop of Sydney who'd been missing for days
Turned up in a prostitute's flat
He said he'd been doing the work of The Lord
There could be more to it than that.

The chemical company is moving off shore
All its assets and factories and vats
They say it's all part of their plan going forward
I'm told there's more to it than that.

A rich man withdrew all his money
And offered it round in a hat
He said Jesus Christ had shown him the light
There may be no more to it than that.

The boy asked his Dad where babies come from
When told why his mother was fat
His father's discourse on the birds and the bees
Left him sure there was more to it than that.

The cricketer's wife cut the legs off his creams
And chopped up all of his bats
I'm just over cricket was all that she'd say
I know there's more to than that.

God made the world and then rested
The job took Him just six days flat
The mountains, the seas, Adam and Eve
There must be more to it than tha – ah – ah – at
There must be more to it than that
