A new thing on this blog. Every week I'll try and post a lyric that I think is worth posting because of its contents.
The Damned - Antipope (from the record Machine Gun Etiquette)
I’m going back to church tonight
Take me back when I was eight
But I don’t mean to pray
I’m gonna nick the collection plate
I’ve got nothing against church
Or the people who go there and show there
Plain ignorant and don’t understand
A congregation at weekends won’t change their behaviour
So many people are weak enough
To have to seek answers from pedlars of hope
I should know I used to go there myself
Until the day I became antipope
There’s gonna be some fun tonight
We're spreading news around the town
That the vicars' a transvestite
With a fetish for robes and gowns
Religion doesn’t mean a thing
Its just another way of being right wing
I think sex films are okay
I don’t dig that pope no way

Cool idea. I don't know a whole lot about The Damned, but I do know that I like this song...some emo Dischord band covered it a while back (I can't think of their name) and that is really the only version that I'm familiar with.
