I also believe the title is a play on the word Gospel. In a sense, she is saying that religion (and in a sense, God himself) is putting a spell on people to make them act crazy. A lot of blood has been shed in the name of religion. But the song is ironic because she says she's waiting even though she sees all these things wrong with religion. It's like she sees no other option. So she just takes her place in line and waits.
Very clever anylse: Godspell -> Gospel.
I hadn't thought of it, but it makes a lot of sense!

One of my favorite The Cardigan songs.
The line "it's not murder, it's an act of faith" is chilling and, unfortunately, true (in the sense that religious fanatics actually believe it to be!).
