    Story Behind the Song
    Religious anthem for the 90's about the lies and the hypocrisy we've had to endure for the last 2000 years.

    Lyrics
    V1
    He clothed a hundred thousand naked natives in the dark,
    Converted them and bathed them in his love,
    Then he gave them chips and general knowledge,
    Filled them up with beans and porridge, gratitude and spiritual being.

    CH
    WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH WE SAY,
    WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE LIGHT,
    WE HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER START,
    WE HAVE TO PUT THINGS RIGHT

    V2
    But then he gave them Friday nights and discotheques and dirty jokes,
    Adolescent fantasy an' whisky, drugs an' Socrates,
    Then he gave them Endoway an' Hemmingway an' Hogmanay,
    He gave them Asterix an' Weetabix.

    (REPEAT CHORUS)

    V3
    Then they stabbed him in the back, buried him in an old sack,
    Tried to forget that he'd existed,
    An' then up from the grave he rose, a crown of thorns an' a freezing nose,
    The fountain of our miserable lives.

    V4
    He died upon a cross for me, nailed up to a fuckin' tree,
    We have to find some way to make it right.
    He only wanted recognition, a place on a stage as a great magician,
    It's really quite pathetic looking back.

    (REPEAT CHORUS)

    He only wanted recognition, a place on a stage as a great magician,
    It's really quite pathetic looking back.
