Not only is it PATENTLY not about god...it is CLEARLY about the work of the painter L.S.Lowry.
What a sad indictment on modern 'everyday' folk ie. human swill.
To leap from an OBVIOUS real-world reference (to Lowry) to some kind of happy-clappy god nonsense without even a breath of embarrassment or shame just shows how INCOMPREHENSIBLY ignorant the vast mass of human SLUDGE is. Oh sad sad day!
I have to agree with ohms. When this song first came out, I couldn't understand most of the words. I just liked the strange overmodulated trebley guitar and the wah-wah pedal effect. Now, 45 years later (am I reaaly that old?), with digital reproductions (clarity) and an internet to instantly look up song lyrics these songs that I thought were great sound even better. And, ohms, I agree that on close listening, your lyrics are correct. And I agree that this is probably a case of a guy...

C'mon. This was the mid/late 1960's. Psychedelic rock and roll was not about murder.
THE ONLY GUESS YOU COULD COME UP WITH!!!!
Oh my God!
