I'm posting the lyrics to one of my favourite Damned songs, cause I thought someone might get a kick out of 'em, this song is called Anti-Pope, from their brilliant 1979 album Machine Gun Ettiquette, I'm sure you can download the track somewhere without getting nicked and hauled off to jail, I'm also sending the Vatican our cable bill for april so they can bloody well pay it for taking up so much goddamn airtime:

I'm going back to church tonight
Just like back when I was eight
But I don't mean to pray
I'm gonna nick the collection plate

I've got nothing against church
Only people who go there
and show they're
Plain ignorant and don't understand
a congregation at weekends won't change their behaviour
So many people are weak enough to have
to seek answers from the peddlers of hope
I should know
I had to go there myself
Not since the day I became antipope

Theres gonna be some fun tonight
Spead the news around the town
That the vicar's a transvestite
With a fetish for robes and gowns

I've got nothing against church
Only people who go there
and show they're
Plain ignorant and don't understand
a congregation at weekends won't change their behaviour
So many people are weak enough to have
to seek answers from the peddlers of hope
I should know
I had to go there myself
Not since the day I became antipope

Religion doesn't mean a thing
Its just another way of being right wing
I think sex films are okay
I don't dig that pope no way

I've got nothing against church
Only people who go there
and show they're
Plain ignorant and don't understand
a congregation at weekends won't change their behaviour
So many people are weak enough to have
to seek answers from the peddlers of hope
I should know
I had to go there myself
Not since the day I became antipope!
