The Church of Logic, sin, and love.....
The Church of Logic, sin, and love..... I've had this song running through the back of my head for days. So I looked the work up online. I wanted to hear a cover version before I heard the studio major artist I remember. I found only two lonely cover versions by two small time bands. The first one was not bad, so I copied it to use as a sound track in something later. The second was in a bar, and noisy, one woman in the audience, off camera, is as loud as the band, so the performance was ruined. Only 98 views - no wonder. The original was by "The Men." What a name. The band singing this song was on 'mix tape' video I made about 1994 of interesting songs. I still like the lyrics. Almost like a Hemingway short story, sketching out the minimum. I always assumed they were singing about a real road trip they had been on. One album from this 'one hit wonder' band. A good song that stands the test of time. I salute them by still singing their words out loud. ( I'd put a link to the song, but I think I get labelled as spam or something, but, look it up, nice video ) They weren't surprised by the wind and rain They took off anyway -- east, I think that's what they did They were just two of the wildest, bored creatures on earth Fed up with work, strip bars and loneliness galore In an old oldsmobile that one of them bought off their father They ate up so much road -- they was grinnin' (Then they came upon the thing) chorus This is real -- this is now This is the freak show baby anyhow On the church of logic, sin and love Heals the curious magic soul Big top drama from head to toe Cactus, venom, rodeo On the church of logic, sin and love Two hours later they decided to stop at a diner Because they loved the smell of eggs and coffee I just had to smoke a cigarette and wear a hat By the time that they set off again, the sun was starting to set It made the sky look red like a nuclear ray One of them said "what do you want more than anything in this whole wide world Do you want money, do you want sex, or do you want all that success?" I thought about that myself (Then they came upon the thing) chorus The thing ahead sixty miles, do no miss Not for the squeamish or depressed, not for the unbelievers Truly<b> obsessed </font></b>-- something you just don't wanna miss It's the kind of place where space explorers could have landed Around 1963 -- when John F. Kennedy was in Life Magazine And everything was aqua marine, chorus out... |
