about
A bit of Elsie MacDonald lore here my mum is a minister so I grew up with a very different view of religion than most queer folk and this is sort of the culmination of that.
lyrics
Never before had i seen such an angel in doc martens
But she came to me in a dream and her blue cuffed jeans
Long pink hair and a smile to get lost in
And a badge on her lapel reading: Vote Scottish Greens
Now, I grew up in the church so I know what I am saying
She was a vision sent by God on a mission to save me
Can of Monster in her hand, a punk rock band to sing in
And a kindness for strangers in her holy trinity
Girl in red records as our hymns to be played
We'll have a colourful choir for our new found messiah
Not a Judas to be found she could never be betrayed
And unlike Peter we'll never deny her
We'll never deny her all the stars in the sky
Never deny her when she bakes them in a pie
Yeah never deny her or ever ask her why
Oh never deny her or ever tell a lie
Plant-based recipes for all who obey
Her scriptures, her teaching and her preaching to the choir
Of love, acceptance, and intersectionality
Of these commandments we'll never tire
And We'll never deny her all the stars in the sky
Never deny her when she bakes them in a pie
Oh, never deny her or ever ask her why
Yeah, never deny her or ever tell a lie
The return of the carpenter will not be how they told it
In Churches across the world where they preach easy lies
Of capitalism bigotry and homophobia
Cant wait to see their faces when she comes down from the skies
And never denies us all the stars in the skies
Yeah, never denies us our macaroni pie
Oh never denies us or ever asks us why
Yeah never denies us or ever tells a lie
'Bout what she's come here to do
Or say that five is two and two
She'll welcome us with open arms
To all of the gay bars
In the sky
