this is BY FAR my favourite Pedro song simply for the use of the word "fuck". its so great when i heard it for the first time, i stopped the cd and laughed and just went generally nuts. i think its brilliant because of the multiple contexts it hits in that one line:
he's still talking about agressive proselytizing, but by using that line about the Spirit saying "fuck", he pokes fun not only at people's foregone conclusions about God, but also, he's getting a little cheeky with those christian musician types who have been on his case to "clean up his lyrics". and i think that's why i love pedro the lion so much: its not christian praise music. i dont listen to christmas carols all year round... why should we only have happy christian music? its a fuckin joke to think christians are all smiles and good times, plenty of us are alcoholics or cheat on our spouses or mistreat our friends or doubt God's presence.
i guess depressing christian songs just make the idea of salvation seem a lot more important.
