Travis The vocal on Psalm is great. It sounds like a monologue from Robert Carlyle aka Begbie from Trainspotting. This song was covered or sampled by The Black Dog on Disench from their 1996 album Music For Adverts.

lyrics

Psalm

Don’t need no god.
Don’t need no eternal paternal god.
Don’t need no re-assuringly protective
Good and evil in perspective god.
Don’t need no imported distorted,
Inflated updated,
Holy roller save your soul or
Anaesthetisingly opiate gods.
Don´t need no all creatures that on earth do dwell
Be good or you go to hell god.
Don’t need no Hare krishna hare krishna
Hail Mary, hail mary god.
Got no yen for zen, Baghavad-Gita or Gurdjieff.
No Mormons, Methodist, Seventh day Adventist god.
No absolutes beyond refute,
No reverential preferential judaic messianic god.
No bibles, no Mahayanas, Dalai Lharmas
Instant dharma gods.
Don’t need no spiritual suicide or
Prefrontal lobotomising god.
Don’t need no stoic sexless
Antiseptic god.
Don’t need no neon crucifix,
No jade buddhas, no vedas or Upanishads,
No camels or needles or Papal decrees.
No mail-order ikons, korans or Mandalas,
No sri Chimnoys orMeha Babas or Ayatollahs
No Guatamas, no Manitou, Ouspensky or Marx,
No yin/yang, no tao, no tarot or incense,
No sacred mushrooms,
No dianetics,
No Tibetan prayer mats,
No ‘Immortal invisible gods only wise’ –
Don’t need no televised circumcised
Incessant incandescant god.
Don’t need no god.
I need human beings.
I need some kind
Of love.
I need you.

about

UV POP Meerbusch, Germany

The sound of UV PØP has always been a sophisticated blend of sadness; with morose North Country sense and a humorous confrontational sensibility.
Back again with new material and a carefully polished back catalogue there is evidence still of the melancholy that gave us all hope for today and tomorrow.
