My body is sanctuary
My blood is pure
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
You want me bad
I think you're cool
But I'm not sure
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Follow me
Don't be such a holy fool
Follow me
I need something more from you
It's not about sex or champagne
You holy fool
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

If you want me
Meet me at electric chapel
If you want me
Meet me at electric chapel
If you wanna steal my heart away
Meet me, meet me baby in a safe place
Come on meet me
In electric chapel

Come dance to me where you have been
Next to the bar
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Pray for your sins
Right under the glass disco ball
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Follow me
Don't be such a holy fool
Follow me
I need something sacred from you
Together we'll both find a way
To make it pure
Love working in dirty way

If you want me
Meet me at electric chapel
If you want me
Meet me at electric chapel
If you wanna steal my heart away
Meet me, meet me baby in a safe place
Come on meet me
In electric chapel

Ho oh oh oh, ho oh oh oh
Uh uh uh uh uh uh
Ho oh oh oh
Uh uh uh uh uh uh

If you want me
Meet me in electric chapel
Oh, if you want me
Meet me in electric chapel
If you wanna steal my heart away
Meet me, meet me baby in a safe place
Come on meet me
In electric chapel
Oh oh

    This is one of the best songs on the album, the guitar plays a perfect role and the whole dark theme that is infused with a love message is just perfect !

    It's all about wanting to feel safe with your lover in a place where the Safety of Religion and the Electricity of Love and Life is there with no more sorrow and judgment, misunderstanding or just dirty dating.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. 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.
