God

Sinners seekers, sinners seekers........
sinners seekers follow me, a solution I will find,
for praise and thanks I'll set you free, you'll never need to compromise.
All this time I waited for you, all these things you want me to be.

don't get me wrong my child, I never meant to blow you mind,
tell me what it is you've done, open up your heart my son,
close your eyes I'll help you see, only here to grant you time,
I'm giving you my guarantee, cross my heart and hope to die.

This god is mine I'll give it to you,
this god is fine I'll share it with you,
this god.

I'll raise a glass to history, you'll say a prayer to god above,
I hope you all remember me, perfect light and perfect love.
All this time I waited for you, all these things you want me to be.

Don't get me wrong my child, I never meant to blow your mind,
tell me what it is you've done, broken vow or smoking gun?
Close your eyes I'll help you see, I'm only here to grant you time,
giving you my guarantee, cross my heart and hope to die.

This god is mine I'll give it to you, this god is fine I'll share it with you.

Originally written about a dominatrix I knew, but then changed around for dedication to the Jim Jones School Of God - written before David Koresh hit the scene (Waco), but performed in the USA with The Stranglers around that time coincidentally. It didn't really work with the band, but there are a few versions which I recorded, and in it's current guise appears cut up as "Chasing Rainbows" on the "Faith?" CD.
