Cover art for The Body lyrics by Pains of Being Pure at Heart, The

This seems to be one song that may get Kip called the Jewish Morrissey. That he has to ask what the body is for seems a nod to celibacy or innocence although he does seem to actively engage with the person in this song. Also, I am curious about the reference to "sin" along with the reference to "heaven" in Heaven's Gonna Happen Now

What sort of metaphysics is he committed to?

I do not think the chords are related to Joy Division's Atmosphere nor is the theme. (Isn't Atmosphere a foreshadowing of Ian Curtis suicide? A much heavier theme.)
