If “The Celtic Soul Brothers” is Dexys' mission statement about the music industry, then “Let’s Make This Precious” is their attitude towards artistic integrity – purity of spirit, clarity of instrumentation, integrity of meaning.
Pure this must be, it has to be
Pure, let's make this pure
(Do you mean it?) Yes, I do
(Then let's sing it) Certainly, but
First, bare your hearts and cleanse your souls
(And then?) Let's try and, let's try and, let's try and
Let's make this precious, like this
Let's make this precious
We're striving, we're striving, we're striving
Striving over here
(Ever nearer?) I think so
(Visions clearer) Of course, of course
But still, we must forsake all to win
(All temptation?) Everything
(For salvation?) Now you're talking
Then let this apply to all we do
(And then?) Our striving will guide us
And somehow, I think that we'll win
Let's make this precious
First, let's hear somebody sing me a record
That cries pure and true
No, not those guitars, they're too noisy and crude (Sing it)
The kind that convinces, refuses to leave
There's no need to turn it up
If it's pure, I'll feel it from here
I don't need those bloody faces, thank you very much
Thank you, but no thanks, I get enough on my own
This must be, this must be
I don't know, I don't know
Let's make this precious (I think we probably will)
Let's make this precious (I think we probably will)
Let's make this precious (I think we probably will)
Let's make this precious (I think we probably will)
Let's make this precious (I think we probably will)
Let's make this precious (I think we probably will)
Let's make this precious (I think we probably will)
Let's make this precious (I think we probably will)
