Saint of Me -- The Rolling Stones

Saint Paul the persecutor  Was a cruel and sinful man 
Jesus hit him with a blinding light And then his life began 
I said yeah  Augustin knew temptation He loved women, wine and song  And all the special pleasures Of doing something wrong 
I said yeah  I said yeah 

(**)I said yeah, oh yeah, You'll never make a saint of me 
Oh yeah, oh yeah  You'll never make a saint of me 

And could you stand the torture And could you stand the pain 
Could you put your faith in Jesus When you're burning in the flames 
And I do believe in miracles And I want to save my soul 
And I know that I'm a sinner I'm gonna die here in the cold 
I said yes, I said yeah 

(**)  

I thought I heard an angel cry I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye  John the Baptist was a martyr But he stirred up Herod's hate 
And Salome got her wish  To have him served up on a plate 
I said yes  I said yeah 

(**)

I thought I heard an angel cry I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye  I thought I saw an angel cry  You'll never make a saint of me

Mick Jagger sings about various people in history who had converted to Christianity, notably St. Paul and St. Augustine. Jagger then states that they will never make a saint out of him                (wikipedia)
