uh. I got drunk at Leeds festival and sang this over and over again, and embarassed my friend.

400m across, and hanging like a football field
over the valley of the stone circle
wondering what the crop will yield
Cause the mothership has come
Cause the mothership has come
Who's she gonna take this time?
Right now tell me who's she gonna claim?

Loving is the face of Jesus
Smiling is the Mona Lise
To penetrate the diamond
the pituatary gland gets torn off its access and frees
Earth is a cannon of love, shame beyond Socrates
Who's to blame but the man like any man?
Who's to blame but the man who leads?

Going upwards at 45 degrees
Going upwards at 45 degrees
Going upwards at 45 degrees
Won't somebody sign my release
x2

When people jump through time
they give themselves up to rhyme and reasons of the heavens
they recognise in themselves
reconciling their thoughts to those of dutiful people
they're unashamed

Going upwards at 45 degrees
Going upwards at 45 degrees
Going upwards at 45 degrees
Won't somebody sign my release?
x3

  • ive seen jc perform this track twice at different gigs and it sends the crowd mad ,what a star he is . jehovakill is one hell ov an album .10/10.

  • nice seeing. jehovahkill is my favourite.

  • The first time I heard this song I thought it was mediocre. Then, a week later, it just popped into my head and hit me with its awesomeness.

  • we did a cover of this at Mr Smith's in Bournemouth years ago. Anyone remeber the Wine Thieves? Thought not. Still a great song to cover

  • This song makes me feel less alone, if that doesn't make me sound like a 15 year old. No idea what it's 'about', but it hooks my mind and soul.

  • i saw him at the octogon in the 90s, i think if ime not wrong it was the peggy suicide album he was screamin out . and what a gig it was.

  • saw the guy at sheffield octagon in early 90s just awsome thanks to all uploaders .may the drood be with you all.Doormonkey63

  • Cope the monothesistic mofo. Best of his tunes by a mile.
