@[david52665:848] I love what's been said already, and I had a couple extra idea about the second verse. First, in the first two lines when he says "If I'm a pagan of the good times; My lover's the sunlight", I think he's referring to the fact that in many polytheistic pagan religions the sun god/goddess was the highest. Thus, he's saying that while love may not be the only god, for him it is the most important. Second, I didn't think the "what you got in the stable?" really referred to skeletons in the closet. Instead, I think it refers to the fact that the church takes morally righteous positions on multiple things and thus has multiple "high horses". In addition to homosexuality there's contraception, birth control, etc. The following line of "we've a lot of starving faithful" means that there are a lot of people looked down on by the church for various reasons, and if all of the high horses were sacrificed then all of those people would find a better place in the church. I agree the church has skeletons in the closet, I just don't think those lines directly attack that point. |
