Lyrics
He came on ecclesiastically
Reference to someone appearing in a religious or formal manner
His sermon loud and bold
Describing the preacher's impactful and confident message
And I got hold of spiritual healing
Experiencing a sense of spiritual healing from the sermon
His eloquence, magnificent
Praising the preacher's impressive speaking style
I didn't stand for long
Not staying committed to the spiritual message for long
And there I learnt how prayer can be misguiding
Learning that prayer can lead astray or misguide
But I'm a good girl
Asserting a positive self-identity as a good girl
Oh I'm a good girl
Reiteration of being a good girl
I'm a good girl
Continued affirmation of being a good girl
They recommended counseling
Being advised to seek counseling
But I don't need to talk
Rejecting the need for verbal expression or therapy
I don't get off on communal changing
Not finding satisfaction in collective change or communal activities
I'm better bred, much better led
Expressing a sense of being well-bred and well-guided
Leave my keys at home
Being cautious and leaving keys at home, possibly symbolic
But brace yourselves for industrial cleavage
Preparing for a potentially revealing or disruptive situation
'Cause I'm a good girl
Reasserting the self-identity as a good girl
Oh I'm a good girl
Reiteration of being a good girl
I'm a good girl
Continued affirmation of being a good girl
If you live a lie you'll die a liar
Warning about the consequences of living a deceitful life
If you live a lie you'll die a liar
Repeating the warning for emphasis
Pants on fire
Using a playful expression, "Pants on fire," to denote dishonesty
Jean of arc can kiss my art
Disregarding the historical figure Joan of Arc and asserting independence
Leave a charcoal mark
Leaving a mark, possibly implying individuality and rebellion
There's so much more to solitary refinement
Highlighting the value of personal growth and introspection
'Cause I'm a good girl
Reasserting the self-identity as a good girl
Oh I'm a good girl
Reiteration of being a good girl
I'm a good girl
Continued affirmation of being a good girl
If you live a lie you'll die a liar
Reiterating the warning about the consequences of living a deceitful life
