A song about a building that is usually used for religious purposes, a church!
lyrics
The old church is still standing
Brethren come and brethren go
But that old church will stand while the surrounding houses fall
He caters for the business man, the homeless child any prostitute and all, within it's walls
Inside they all hold hands, and love dances freely around the room
Yes the old church he's much wiser than any mountain
And the only way to Heaven's through his door
Priests are born and priests do die
But the old church he employs them for their long and useful lives
To welcome in any vagabond, the pensioner who as a child chalked his name, upon it's wall
And the organ and voices ring with lust, and the magic within their minds is all set free
And the head that bounced three times to form a fountain
Smiles on them the calm forgiving
Yes the old church he's much wiser than any mountain
And the only way to Heaven's through his door

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often.
Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr
