The newest athiest anthem
 
Same as - losing my religion, REM
 
Imagine.- John Lennon - the first in your face church POPULAR song
 
666 - Iron Maiden
 
God bless the children of the beast- Motley Crue
 
In a gadda da vida - Iron Butterfly- its a early athiest song has to make lyrics in platitudes because it would cause a uproar back then. 4951

@Ebola: What are you talking about "athiest album"?  The message of his song is about The Church in Ireland (Catholic church) not all churches.  His lack of fath should not brand him. 4951

@Retired_Engineer:  It's music and art.  Doesn't HAVE to be understood or dissected for message or hidden meaning.  Just enjoy it.  4951

@donnatella:  If the song includes lyrics, then I want to understand them.  If it's just music, then let it be an instrumental.   Calling it "art" does not make a picture of a turd anything but a picture of a turd.

"Take Me To Church"
 
My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
 
If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
 
'We were born sick, ' you heard them say it
 
My Church offers no absolutes
She tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom.'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you�
 
I was born sick,
But I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
 
[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
 
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
 
Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
 
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
 
[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
 
No Masters or Kings
When the Ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
 
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am Human
Only then I am Clean
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
 
[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

I'm with @retired_engineer, even though I really enjoy tunes I also like to know what it means or signifies. This one would be a good one to dissect in a poetry class. Yes I do like poetry and 'meaning' discussions. The human brain and thought process is fascinating. 4951

@Retired_Engineer:  But if that turd picture is in an art gallery and is for sale, then some fool will pay top dollar for it, therefore it's art.  Stupid creepy strange art, but still art.  Same as photos of boobs...bet you would think THOSE were art?  Emoticon 4951

@turkeytrax:
 
I've listen to several of their songs they all have a touch of religion or is that anti religion? I haven't been able to figure it out. 4951

I like this, love the rhythm and music to it.  To me this song is saying that even thou this guy is with someone people don't approve of and because of it he's different, he's fascinated with her and her with him. And it's like they're forgetting and leaving the other people behind and focusing only on each other in their passion. 4951

Some people interpret "Take me to Church" to be about sex as a religious experience, some take it as a criticism of religion, and other people see whatever they want to see in it.  Music is a way to tell a story. You don't have to agree with the artist's religious perspective to enjoy their music. 4951
