The Courteeners - De La Salle Lyrics

I wonder if the De La Salle brothers got out
And if their Holy Mothers and jealous fathers ever feel trapped?
Did Mary like all the attention?
And did Jesus ever get detention?

I wonder if Caesar ever did his sums
And if Joan of Arc ever slip and slice her thumb
Chopping onions in double home economics
And would Archimedes have liked electronics?

Panic stations don't set in
Don't worry if you're not getting
The reward that you think you deserve
Good things come to those who wait
God knows I've waited patiently
Take a ticket
There's a seat here next to me

The number seventeen and Steve McQueen
Seem an unlikely combination considering his elevation to Hollywood
God and all-around blonde Adonis
I can't see him settling down in Heaton Norris

Would Elvis have been able to adapt?
Would he have come to court over reports his phone was tapped?
Would Priscilla remain and reside by his side
With the lonely loyalty of being his bride

Panic stations don't set in
Don't worry if you're not getting
The reward that you think you deserve
Good things come to those who wait
God knows I've waited patiently
Take a ticket
There's a seat here next to me

Panic stations don't set in
Don't worry if you're not getting
The reward that you think you deserve
Good things come to those who wait
God knows I've waited patiently
Take a ticket
There's a seat here next to me
