Hi Guys,
Bit of an odd post here. Well I'm a big fan of the Smiths. The English band that was popular in the 80's and still has a kind of cult following even though they split up.
However one of the things I cannot decide on is if some of the lyrics are wrong for me to listen to as the name "Lord" or "God" is used. Would you say it was wrong for me to listen to this as a Christian and that this is in fact blasphemy/taking the Lord's name in vain.
Here are the lyrics in question:
"See the life I've had, could make a good man bad.
So for once in my life, let me get what I want...
Lord knows, it would be the first time.
Lord knows, it would be the first time."
please please please... - the smiths
"And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask) "
There is a light that never goes out - the smiths
I really cannot decide.
Regards
Lee
