The Funky Cold Messiah

Cold coolin' at a church, and I'm lookin for some action
But like Dick Dawkins said, I can't get no satisfaction
The liturgy is all around, but none of it wants ta get with me
My threads are fresh and I'm lookin' def, yo, what's up Christianity?

The girls is all jockin' at the other end of the pew
Havin' prayers with some no-name chump, when they know my time is due
So I got up and strolled over to the other side of the cathedral
I asked the guy, Why you so fly? he said, Funky Cold Messiah

This brother told me a secret on how to get lit quick
Put a little Messiah in your glass, and you'll be on my kick
It's better than any alcohol or aphrodisiac
A couple of sips of this love potion, and you'll be coming back

So I gave some to my dog when he began to whimper
Then he licked his bowl and he looked at me, seemed nothing could be simpler
He used to scratch and bite me, before there was much much trauma
But now all the poodles run to my house for the Funky Cold Messiah

I got plans with The Man

Reading Heights (Kate Bush )
Out in the draughty, barren nave
We chant, intone and sing
You have a polity, like my future see:
Too hard. Too narrow.
How could you leave me?!
When I needed to, be ordained by you?!
I promised you: I didn't screw!

Conservatives in the night
Told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my Reading, Reading,
Reading Heights-

Rowan! It's me, Jeffrey!
I've come home
I'm so-o-o-o shafted
Let me into my palace.

Thanks, Jahlove! [I'd been pondering that humour on threads like this is an unsettlingly feedback-free process. Unless you come up with something that amuses somebody enough for them to spend a whole post nicely telling you, you could be writing rubbish or quite reasonable stuff and have no way of telling. It makes me insecure... The software should incorporate a discreet way of registering a mild chuckle]

Well, dam, technically, but that sounds so uncouth. 400 years ago the proper translation of "Theotokos" would have been "Godsdam" but that probably looked wrong even then.
