Sugarcubes - Deus

This is one of the most fun atheist songs I know of. It's one that didn't horrify me when I was a believer because I just didn't notice it even though I listened to my "Life's Too Good" cassette until it was worn out and then replaced it with a CD copy. After I came to my senses, this became one of favorite catharsis songs. I particularly liked to drive around listening to it on Sundays, especially if I was on the way over to family gatherings with my kin folk who still believe in so much non-sense. Also, back when this came out, who knew that Bjork would become a household name and that the Sugarcubes would remain obscure? And, one final note, the orchestrated version, which is a bonus track on the CD of "Life's Too Good", is completely awesome. If you don't have it already, you need it.

Deus by Sugarcubes Deus does not exist But if he does He lives above me In the fattest largest cloud up there He is whiter than white and cleaner than clean He wants to reach me Deus does not exist But if he does I always notice him Getting ready in his airy room He is picking his gloves so gently off He wants to touch me I'm walking humbly down a tiny street Pulling my collar - it gets bigger I once met him It really surprised me He put me in a bath tub Made me Squeeky clean Really clean To Create A U-ni-verse You must Taste The forbidden fruit He said "hi!" I said "hi!" I was still clean Deus does not exist But if he does he'd want to get Down from that cloud First marzipan fingers then marble hands More silent than silence and slower than slow Diving towards me My collar is a huge room for two hands They start at the chest and move slowly down Wooo... I thought I had seen everything He wasn't white and fluffy He just had sideburns He just had sideburns And a quiff He said 'hi' I said 'hi' I was still clean I was squeeky clean I was surprised Just as you would be Deus, Deus Deus, Deus, he does not exist Deus, Deus...
