Willow Washburn "Jesus never touched me the way he's touchin' you" may be the best line of pseudo-sacrilege in music history. It's at least a top fiver. Favorite track: Jesus Never Touched Me.

The Godless Fool 03:36
lyrics
When you're gone the sky hangs low A host of locusts beat against the window And the Mystic's high on blood, the banks are overflown I paint my door post lamb red but still I can't help my own I can't live without your voice, yeah, that's that the kind of thing they say Even non-believers are known to kneel down and pray When you're near I can feel the shame I'm standing bare before you, only you know my name And I would turn to salt if ever you met my eye I know there's no blame, there's no fault if you've gone on to one of your other guys Well, it pains me to leave you, still I can't find no way to stay Even bald blasphemers are known to kneel down and pray We're both here, though there's no having you We're both here, oh I don't wanna hear the ugly truth I know the best way to lose, stone drunk on my own harlotry There is a great multitude for whom there is no more suffering I can't live in your ignorance, still only I can say For you, even the godless fool would kneel down and pray

Jesus Never Touched Me 04:13
lyrics
I can't remember praying that I'd find you What if God was one of us, and standing right behind you? I'd kick him in the bits for my desire The old perv designed to make me moronic wit cum friar I guess there are a hundred thousand sinful things that Jesus wouldn't do You tell me about Heaven, how just his love allows it Jesus never touched me the way he's touching you Just fevered delirious/ Rubber-legged in lust and solemn sworn to sodomy And love/ penetrating cut/ ever-vexed rub and satisfaction snuff The one that I have had to meet The people of this world want complex pleasures Puppies and ice cream and low dogmatic lectures The needy fear the maker of the ballotine I died of dehydration after all that salivating I guess there are a hundred thousand other girls who'd like to put it through You tell me about Heaven, how your love disallows it Jesus never loved me the way I want you to No Jesus never touched me the way he's touching you Just/ I know it isn't just/ There's just one kind of love that holds up to your scrutiny Just silly trifles but I haven't had enough Of holding out for hammered hands to spill their blood on me Now every night I'm praying that I find you Folded arms and frowning on a faith that's gone behind you Or Mother Mary in the nachos in the toilet bowl It's hard to nail a Mona Lisa smile with all that water flow I guess there are a hundred thousand pilgrims who would like to see it too I'll keep a candle burning, and a gilded shrine to house it Still Jesus never loves me the way I want you to Jesus never touched me the way he's touching you
