This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Disemboweled on the altar Jesus Christ
Entrails in the pentagram circle
Spill his blood and reversing catholic humn
Invocate the onslaught of Satan
Master Lord Lucifer
From behind the light thou shall rise
Drink ourselves as you feed
His offering of purity
Bible bleed, hell on Earth has been achieved
Thou will fail before Lord Satan
Casting sin, pissing on their crucifix
Stepping forth into his creation
Master Lord Lucifer
From behind the light thou shall rise
Walk His Earth, invade in pain
His Christians become the enslaved
What was once is never more
Infernal Lord Father restored
Blinding priest in disbelief
Revenge onto god he has sworn
Entrails in the pentagram circle
Spill his blood and reversing catholic humn
Invocate the onslaught of Satan
Master Lord Lucifer
From behind the light thou shall rise
Drink ourselves as you feed
His offering of purity
Bible bleed, hell on Earth has been achieved
Thou will fail before Lord Satan
Casting sin, pissing on their crucifix
Stepping forth into his creation
Master Lord Lucifer
From behind the light thou shall rise
Walk His Earth, invade in pain
His Christians become the enslaved
What was once is never more
Infernal Lord Father restored
Blinding priest in disbelief
Revenge onto god he has sworn

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Listen to Death instead, they are good, Deicide are a joke, and the fact that these turd merchants have just put out a new album makes me think that they are the only ones who are not in on the joke...
And perhaps you're oblivious to the fact that your redundantly-stated opinion isn't going to change the tastes of Deicide fans.
I don't for one second think it will change anyones taste, I am just voicing my opinion, whether you choose to listen to it or not, is entirely your decision.
Yet "get better taste" were your words. See, stating an opinion would be maybe a few comments about how you dislike the band. Attempting to force it would be around a dozen or so posts consisting of "Deicide are so gay! They're about as good as the runny brown stuff that comes out of my anus! Listen to Death and other bands instead! Do you people actually listen to this crap? Get better taste in music!" and so on. Not exact quoting there, but that's the gist. It's obvious bait for a reaction.
It's the equivalent of walking into a showing of "White Chicks" just to yell out at the top of your lungs to all the moviegoers about how ridiculously unfunny you think it is. No one wants to hear your ass, they only want to watch the movie. It'd be like me going into the Tool section of SongMeanings to comment on half the songs about how boring they are. I wouldn't do that, because I'm not a prick. Well, not on the Internet, anyway.
But if you found Tool's music boring, then it is totally your right to do so.
Tool's drummer is good. You listen to Killswitch Engage I hear... SO FUCK YOU GET OUT. YOU DONT KNOW SATAN YOU DONT KNOW DEATH YOU KNOW NOT OV THE DARKNESS MY HEATHEN SERVANT. ASIDE!
Metalheads, listen up: your bands are artless and laughable. Your scene is composed of antisocial misfits, pretentious stoners, and moronic sociopaths. You look ridiculous to the outside world, your supposed angst and darkness and brutality are downright comedic, and you are walking punchlines for those of us with standards. Get a life, nerds.
