What's with all this doom and gloom?
You used to be such, such a laugh
It's only sin, original sin
Corinthians (15:22)
Never been a big fan of things
But I'm growing so fond of you
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
Truth is truth
I ain't no bohemian
Much too, much too safe
Much too, much too typical
Much too, much too typical
Much too, much too
You can use your hands for something else
I'll take you further than the scholars can
Put down your books and molest me
Heaven is here, where it needs to be
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
And there was a time before we were born
When we stood in the garden
If this world won't last I'll turn you on
Well, I've got enough for the both of us
The both of us
The both of us
And there was a time before we were born
When we stood in the garden
If this world does not turn you on
Well, I've got enough for the both of us
The both of us
You used to be such, such a laugh
It's only sin, original sin
Corinthians (15:22)
Never been a big fan of things
But I'm growing so fond of you
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
Truth is truth
I ain't no bohemian
Much too, much too safe
Much too, much too typical
Much too, much too typical
Much too, much too
You can use your hands for something else
I'll take you further than the scholars can
Put down your books and molest me
Heaven is here, where it needs to be
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
And there was a time before we were born
When we stood in the garden
If this world won't last I'll turn you on
Well, I've got enough for the both of us
The both of us
The both of us
And there was a time before we were born
When we stood in the garden
If this world does not turn you on
Well, I've got enough for the both of us
The both of us

The mass tends to keep up a happy life without worrying about the daily problems of the world. But the more you read about actual problems in the world (wars, climatic change, catastrophes, etc) the sadder we may feel. Today, all this "doomporn" ist just depressing.
At least, this is one issue of this text.
but i'm not really sure what this song means or how it fits in..
nevertheless, it's my favourite on the album after ion square :)
Heaven is here, where it needs to be"
? = molest me.
i love this song.
i agree with supasyd23 about the meaning of this song.
is uptight, just too full of knowledge to really
enjoy life, and kele really wants to open this person
up and enjoy themselves.
That's Corinthians 15:22
ANYWAY...
I think this song is basically saying that, according to the bible, everybody has commited original sin. The person in question is a priest/vicar which will lead into Kele's life as he was brought up in a strict catholic houshold (in liverpool. And who says the north is crap!!!)
I dunno though. Just a guess. It's a difficult one to make sense of
