Cardinal Fang

Don't want ya, don't need ya, don't need your tricks and treats

Don't need your ministration, your bad determination

Had enough of you and your superbad crew

Don't need ya, don't need your pseudo-satisfaction, baby

- "Labour of Love", Hue and Cry

Here's one that is by Paul Thorn. He was the warm up act at a John Prine concert I attended. I bought his CD just because of this song.

"Joanie the Jehovah's Witness Stripper"

She drives a new car, wears expensive blouses
She tells her mama, she's cleaning houses
She goes out Witnessing, doing the Lord's work all week
But on the weekend, she's making ends meet

Chorus
Joanie the Jehovah Witness Stripper
Put a dollar in her g-string and she'll deliver
If her daddy only knew he'd prob'ly kill her
Joanie the Jehovah Witness Stripper

One night down at the club, her daddy walked in
He didn't recognize, his daughter dancin'
She wore a blond wig, he had sunglasses
When she got naked, he started clapping

Chorus

If you asked her why she did it she looks at it this way,
She says, "I'm counting my blessing every night when I get paid."
She once lived in poverty now everythings all right,
the Lord showed her how to make a thousand dollars a night

Chorus

Blonde:
What a strange piece of synchronism. I was about to start a thread asking about that song, as I've just heard about it this morning (I've never really been a Van Morrison fan). Do you know anything about it's background?

Basement Jaxxx _ YO YO

You were a prophete from above
Then you came and sucked my blood
My pain became my strength
I am reborn I'm def not dumb
Lest you forget
Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo ...

Halls of Warship by Deicide. God bless Glen Benton!

They want to witness the arrival of the lord
And the destruction he has promised to us all
Their sick conviction to the ending of the world
Live in prediction he will soon be back on Earth
They think they are the only ones who will be spared
The kingdom of Jehovah isn't really there...

Halls of warship burn, until you touch the ground
Ignited by deceit, your will of god is misperceived
Where's the virtue in the riddles of a dying king
Exiled in defeat, the end of their regime

They know who rules this world, a toll they sue to scare
Brainwash the witnesses to think he's coming here
Their only mission is the pending fear of god
Given permission to pursue a life without
A grim existence for the offspring that they breed
Return to Abraham and let us live in peace

Halls of warship burn, until you touch the ground
Ignited by deceit, your will of god is misperceived
Where's the virtue in the riddles of a dying king
Exiled in defeat, the end of their regime

LT, this is some info on Van Morrison.

George Ivan Morrison was born Aug. 31, 1945, in a working-class neighborhood in Belfast, Northern Ireland. His parents were Protestants, though his mother, Violet, briefly became a Jehovah's Witness. (Van's memories of those revival-like meetings were recalled in the 1978 song "Kingdom Hall.")

From an interview with him:

http://www.harbour.sfu.ca/~hayward/van/reviews/1997november.html

Question: Several references say you were raised a Jehovah's Witness. Is that true?

Answer: No, no, no. I wasn't raised anything. My mother went to some meetings at some point. She took me to some meetings. She didn't call herself that. It was only for a couple years' period. My father was an atheist. My mother was what you would describe as a freethinker. She would check things out and read about things, but she never joined anything.

Just from googling.

Love, Blondie

I'd have to say Hotel California for sure. Especially the part that goes:

Last thing I remember I was headed for the door I had to find the passage there to the place I was before "Goodnight" said the nightman "We are programmed to receive. You can check out any time you like But you can never leave.

Thanks Blonde.
I should have tried harder with the googling.

A song that reminds me of the dubs is "Road to Hell" by Chris Rhea

NeonMadman

(Van's memories of those revival-like meetings were recalled in the 1978 song "Kingdom Hall.")

What the heck kind of KH did he go to where the meetings were "revival-like"? Every KH I ever attended, we would have killed for a little "revival-like" excitement, the stinking meetings were soooo BORING!!

Little Toe, I am a big Chris Rhea fan...I know that song well. Of course I think I'm about the only American that remembers him??

Here's my 2 cents:

Grand Funk Railroad's "Some Kind Of Wonderful"

I don't need a whole lots of money, I don't need a big fine car.....

I got more than I could ask for.

I don't have to run around,

I don't have to stay out all night.

'Cause I got me a sweet ... a sweet, lovin' woman,

And she knows just how to treat me right.

Can I get a Wintess? Can I get a Witness?
