In the mid nineties, I had a little red Buick and a big ol’ bass box in the trunk, and would listen to “Christian Rock”, cranked to 11.

(What did you say?  Huh?  Can  you say that again, I didn’t hear you….)

I have gotten away from that genre for many reasons, the least of which may be a loss of hearing, but some songs have stuck with me over the decades.

The artist’s I listened to sought to reflect Scriptural teaching for the most part. They ranged from “preaching” pop culture religion to significant theological teaching. As I listened to the lyrics, I found some to be quite challenging.

To be honest, I listened because I could justify the rock beat with “sanctified lyrics”.

Occassionaly I will post a song, supply the lyrics and make a comment or two. If you decide to listen to the tune, turn the speaker down unless you are already deaf. Some of the songs tend to have a certain “volume” about them!

Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!

Secret Trees – by Johnny Q Public

You can’t see
Specks beyond the trees
But I’ll forgive
If you forget
Throw your first stone
You’re a big man, make your stand
You’ve done nothing wrong
Are you sure, think again
‘Cause I know a secret
I know a secret

I know a secret that you think that I don’t know
I’m writing in sand
Hoping it will remind you
All have sinned
Let the water wash you clean
‘Cause I know a secret
I know a secret
I know a secret that you think that I don’t know

Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!

Undivine Election – by Grammatrain

Unholy judge on high above
Unholy finger you point at every one
And you sit alone on your moral throne
None do you serve so you’ve become your own

You must have died
You must have died
You must have died
To have your foolish pride

Black cross within, imagination
While you rid the world of your every sin
So have you become our redemption
A self-righteous master of undivine election

Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!

Smug – by Steve Taylor

Strike this little pose
Chin up in the air
Lips together tightly
Nostrils in a flare
Now look like you care
Ooh, very nice!

Practice in the mirror
Brushing back a tear
Very sincere
A promising career could begin right here at home
If you’ve got that smug
That smug

Hey mama, hey mama look at what your little babies all have become
Hey mama, hey mama, don’t it ever make you wish you’d been a nun?
Vain and fickle, were we weaned on a pickle? Is it in our blood?
Rome is burning, we’re here turning smug

Strike another pose
Power politics
Swallow their conventions
Get your power fix
We love to mud wrestle
We love to be politically caressed

Practice that smug
Post it like a man
One part Master Limbaugh
Two parts Madame Streisand
Now pretend you’re in a band
My, my, we’re looking smug
Very, very, very, very

Hey mama, hey mama look at what your little babies all have become
Hey mama, hey mama, don’t it ever make you wish you’d been a nun?
Vain and fickle, were we weaned on a pickle? Is it in our blood?
Rome is burning, we’re here turning smug

All you smug-starved millions in the thick of the search
Welcome to our church
Whatcha wanna solve?
We can help you evolve
From merely self-righteous
To perfectly smug

Strike the proud pose of our country-club brethren
Friendly as a tomb
Fragrant as the bottom of a locker-room broom
Now what’s the matter?
Hey, get off your knees
That part don’t come ’til later
God will not be pleased

Hey mama, hey mama look at what your little babies all have become
Hey mama, hey mama, don’t it ever make you wish you’d been a nun?
Vain and fickle, were we weaned on a pickle? Is it in our blood?
Rome is burning, we’re here turning smug

Hey mama, hey mama look at what your little babies all have become
Hey mama, hey mama, don’t it ever make you wish you’d been a nun?
Vain and fickle, were we weaned on a pickle? Is it in our blood?
Rome is burning, we’re here turning
Rome is cooking, my, we’re looking smug

[Outro: Phil Madeira]
I wanna talk today about smug people! They think they’re so good. They ain’t good! No, they ain’t good at all, I tell you what! You wanna be a good man, you look at me! I’m gonna talk to you about humility–’cause I got it! I wanna talk to you about righteousness–’cause I got it! I’m good! I’m humble! I’m better than you! You wanna be a humble man, you look at me, you say, “Brother, how can I be humble?” I don’t know how you can be humble! It took me a long time to get this way! But thank God I’ve arrived! Let’s pray

Less of Me – by Grammatrain

Seems like I am always in the way
Of who I am trying to obey
I need something to make me understand
I don’t live when I live by my own hand

Is everyone staring holes in me
Sometimes I wish that me they could not see
Like a snowfall dropping down in June
I do what I know I should not do

All I want is to be free
I need so much less of me

All my problems exist and I still say
I believe in who only is the way

Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!

Drown – by Grammatrain

my spirits take me to another place
i never have to know my real face
in my brown bag i know i cannot die
my sour breath to you will testify
hey man do you wanna drown
while your bottle drinks you down
(i hear you say) save me, save me
hey man do you wanna drown
my treasured poison, you control my days
you spin my life while i forget my name
i’m in a prison of my own demise
see no escaping through my red-lined eyes

Jonah – by Grammtrain

I lost myself
Or rather images I had of me did tell
How different from truth they were

I think I’m drowning and the ocean is raging
My smile is frowning and my insides are praying
And I’ve swallowed all my yesterdays
Killed my past to follow the way
I think I’m drowning and the ocean screams to me my name

I’ve fallen in
Or did I jump headfirst into this ocean
All I know is I cannot swim

I think I’m drowning and the ocean is raging
My smile is frowning and my insides are praying
And I’ve swallowed all my yesterdays
Killed my past to follow the way
I think I’m drowning and the ocean screams to me my name

I know that you’ll dry all my tears
I know you’re beyond all my fears
I know when I call out your name
My soul you save

I lost myself
Or rather images I had of me did tell
How different from truth they were

I think I’m drowning and the ocean is raging
My smile is frowning and my insides are praying
And I’ve swallowed all my yesterdays
Killed my past to follow the way
I think I’m drowning but I hear You calling out my name

Blow Me a Kiss – by Alice Cooper

Take one in the leg (think about your baby)
Take one in the side (think about your girl)
Take one in the head (think about your mother)
Take one in the heart (it’s the end of the world)

So blow me a kiss cuz I’m black
Blow me a kiss cuz I’m gay
Blow me a kiss cuz I’m shakin’
Say goodnight then blow me away
Blow me away
Blow me away
Tell me what you’re thinkin’ tell me why
Blow me a kiss then blow me away

Take one in the face (think about your life)
Take one in the eye (think about your soul)
Take one in the mouth (think about your savior)
Take one in the thigh (are you ready to go)

So blow me a kiss cuz I’m lonely
Blow me a kiss cuz I’m afraid
Blow me a kiss cuz you don’t know me
Say goodnight then blow me away
Blow me away
Blow me away
Tell me what you’re thinkin’ tell me why

I’m in my room I’m dr. Doom
Cuz I’m not me I’m someone else
Why should you die don’t ask me why
You know it you know it you know it
Blow me away

I turn the page I am the rage
I’m coming from a darker place
A much darker place
So blow me away
Blow me away

Yeah blow me away
Tell me what you’re thinkin’ tell me why
Blow me a kiss then blow me away
Yeah blow me away
C’mon and blow me away
Tell me what you’re thinkin’ tell me why
Blow me a kiss then blow me away

Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!

Multipurpose Man – by Swirling Eddies

Insert Flap A into Slot 2B
Roll me, roll me, roll me toward my destiny
I’m a room for your love, I’m a factory for war
A hungry artist knocking at the rich man’s door
A morality play
A pornography store
A scorched-earth fire
In the nuclear core

[Chorus]
I’m your very own living multipurpose man
Your cowardly lion and your blemished lamb
And I’ll be saved, and I’ll be damned
I’m your very own living multipurpose man

[Verse 2]
Fold Panel 3 along the dotted line
Drink me, drink me, drink me, I’m a cheap red wine
An alcoholic dream, a promissory note
A discouraging word in a mercenary’s throat
A hangman’s noose
On an old frayed rope
A zephyr wind
And a paper boat

[Chorus]
I’m your very own living multipurpose man
Your cowardly lion and your blemished lamb
And I’ll be saved, and I’ll be damned
I’m your very own living multipurpose man

[Bridge]
A bad smell fogging up the vestibule
Demigods, demagogues, wise man, fool
The paper-shredding keeper of the golden rule
So roll me, roll me, roll me on back to you

[Interlude]
(Drink me, drink me, drink me)
(Roll me, roll me over)
(Wind me, wind me, wind me)
(Drink me, drink me, drink me)
(Roll me, roll me over)
(Wind me, wind me, wind me)
(Drink me, drink me, drink me)
(Roll me, roll me over)
(Wind me, wind me, wind me)
(Drink me, drink me, drink me)
(Roll me, roll me over)
(Wind me, wind me, wind me)
(Drink me, drink me, drink me)
(Roll me, roll me over)
(Wind me, wind me, wind me)
(Drink me, drink me, drink me)
(Roll me, roll me over)
(Wind me, wind me, wind me)

[Chorus]
I’m your very own living multipurpose man
Your cowardly lion and your blemished lamb
And I’ll be saved, and I’ll be damned
I’m your very own living multipurpose man

[Bridge]
A bad smell fogging up the vestibule
Demigods, demagogues, wise man, fool
The paper-shredding keeper of the golden rule
So roll me, roll me, roll me on back to you

[Verse 3]
Hook my spring between the flim and flam
Wind me up, wind me, I’m a monkey band
A mad whirling dervish and a hard day’s night
A kamikaze pilot on his thirteenth flight
An electrical storm
Ben Franklin’s kite
A doomsday clock
At twelve midnight

[Verse 4]
Fill me up, fill me, I’m a white trash can
A klu klux klown and an also-ran, yeah
I’m yesterdays news, I’m a small foot note
A DJ caring less about this song I wrote

Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!

I Miss the Rain – by Bride

There’s a place I’d like to go back to
Time seems to stand still
We ran wild, we had no cares
Take me back to that place
I wish there was a door that I could walk right through
To escape this life
I want to go back to what we had,
Times were better then

I miss the rain, I miss the rain
My heart’s been dry like the tear in my eye
I’ve been hurting for you again
I miss the rain, I miss the rain
My heart’s been dry like the tear in my eye
And the pain that I feel, lord I miss the rain

It keeps me young when I remember
In my mind the past still lives
I’ve held on to every thought,
It keeps me so alive
The future holds nothing for me
If I can’t hold you
I used to try and change the world,
Now I change a little for myself

I know there are those who are far sadder than I
They lost things they can’t replace
Like the beauty in their eyes
But through it all one thing is constant and remains
The love of God erases all my pain

I have gotten away from that genre for many reasons, the least of which may be a loss of hearing, but some songs have stuck with me over the decades.

The artist’s I listened to sought to reflect Scriptural teaching for the most part. They ranged from “preaching” pop culture religion to significant theological teaching. As I listened to the lyrics, I found some to be quite challenging.

To be honest, I listened because I could justify the rock beat with “sanctified lyrics”.

Occasionally I will post a song, supply the lyrics and make a comment or two. If you decide to listen to the tune, turn the speaker down unless you are already deaf. Some of the songs tend to have a certain “volume” about them!

Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!

Easy Listening – Steve Taylor

Gather-me-grandchildren if you love a good mystery
Gather-me-grandchildren for a little church history
It’s 2044
You’re avoiding our turn-of-the-century ways

How did we strike it rich?
Kissing up to the powerful
How did we make our pitch?
Satellites by the towerful
Why do you young people have to go and get caught up in a radical phase?

My conscience was clear and my wallet was full
I didn’t hear none of this “sacrifice” bull
Tough times call for a backtrack
Gimme that old-time easy listening

Cuddle up, yeah, yeah
12 hours, twice a day
Cuddle up, yeah, yeah
Simmer down
Attaway

Color me old-fashioned, but I still remember when
The sermons were affirming, ’cause the Lord liked us better then
It’s 2044
And I don’t want to be my brother’s keeper no more

Color me chicken yellow if I liked it in the ozone
Call me lemon jello if I lacked a little backbone
We’re King’s Kids, dang it
And we used to know what a housekeeper was for

Tickle my ear and I’ll pay for your show
Sing about stuff that I already know
Whisper sweet nothings
Pour a nightcap
Gimme that old-time easy listening

Cuddle up, yeah, yeah
12 hours, twice a day
Cuddle up, yeah, yeah
Simmer down
Attaway

Cuddle up, yeah, yeah
Order now, don’t delay
Cuddle up, yeah, yeah
Sleep it off
Drool away

Gather-me-round children, ’cause your faith is a mystery
Gather me grandchildren for a little church history
It’s 2044
And I miss our turn-of-the-century ways

How did we strike it rich?
Kissing up to the powerful
How did we make our pitch?
Satellites by the towerful
Why do you young hotheads have to go and get caught up in a radical phase?

I’m ok, you’re ok, we’re ok, so
I think I’m gonna buy my own radio show
Spread the good news and the Barry Manilow
Happy talk, no rock, non-stop easy listening

Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!
