Saint Augustine In Hell (Lyrics)
There are lyrics overlapping the chorus during the second and third time, and they are:
"The less I need the more I get
Make me chaste but not just yet
It's a promise or a lie
I'll repent before I die."
The lyrics to "Saint Augustine in Hell" by Sting on the album Ten Summoner's Tales.
This is what Sting has to say in his lyrics book:
"Saint Augustine was reputedly something of a libertine in his younger days, and the phrase "Lord make me chase...but not yet" is attributed to him.
"I perfer the saints in my personal hagiography to have at least some basic human flaws. Otherwise the concept of sainthood just seems too unobtainable and not particularly interesting. For the purposes of the song I morphed the saint with another character, that of the great and shameless lover Don Juan. WHat ensues is a torrid tale of lust, infidelity, and revenge."
Francis of Assisi:
"Saint Francis of Assisi (Giovanni Francesco di Bernardone; 1181/1182 -- October 3, 1226) was a Catholic friar and preacher. He founded the Franciscan Order, assisted in founding the woman's Order of St. Clare, and the lay Third Order of Saint Francis. St. Francis is one of the most venerated religious figures in history.
"On July 16, 1228, he was pronounced a saint by Pope Gregory IX. He is known as the patron saint of animals, the environment and one of the two patrons of Italy (with Catherine of Siena), and it is customary for Catholic and Anglican churches to hold ceremonies blessing animals on his feast day of 4 October. It has been argued that no one in history was as dedicated as Francis to imitate the life, and carry out the work, of Christ in Christ's own way."
