In the early 70's, frustrated by the music industry's intention to dilute the impact of Jesus rock through the many religious songs that mainstream artists chose to record and the fallacious rumors that celebrities like Clapton had been saved, Larry Norman wrote various hard hitting features that magazines and papers wouldn't print. As a second line of attack he decamped to his home with a pile of recording equipment and a few friends to record a series of tongue in cheek cover version. Randy Stonehill introduces the songs in the style of an OTT egotistical West Coast DJ, The Surf Duke, and frankly this has some hysterically funny moments! Their acoustic version of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit In The Sky" is absolutely hilarious! Larry's imitation of Mick Jagger on the Stones' "Shine A Light" is outrageous and the segue of "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Let It Be" and "My Sweet Lord" is suitably respectful . until we get to the disco break in the latter song and Larry again adopting Mick Jagger mode starts singing, "I'm So Bored". Call me iconoclastic but these songs deserve to be ripped apart! After the Clapton rumors of conversion which surface every five years or so, "Presence Of The Lord" is given a straight rendition although it's worth bearing in mind Larry reports that Clapton wrote it to express escaping from the police who wanted to bust him for drugs! This CD release closes with two bonus tracks which did not appear on the original vinyl release. This time they're introduced by Larry's Big Bomber DJ alter-ego on Radio K.R.A.P. and include another great Mick Jagger impersonation on "I Am Waiting". Mischievous yet making an important contribution cataloging counterfeit "Christian" culture.

LYRICS: Not 100% sure of correctness of the lyrics. Any help would be appreciated.

----------------------------------------------------------------

When we come to the place where the road and the sky collide

I'm going over the edge just to let my spirit glide

Well they told me I was going to have to work for a living

But all I want to do is ride

I don't know where we're going from here

Why don't you decide.

Well I used to spend my time at the bottom of a wishing well

And I can hear my dreams ringing clear as a bell

Yeah, I used to know where the end of the world began

But now it's getting hard to tell

We could be just around the corner from Heaven or a mile from Hell

Well I'm just fading away from yesterday

Behind a wheel of a stolen Chevrolet

Trying to get a little higher

See if I can hot-wire reality.

Now can you see those dark clouds gathering up ahead?

They're gonna wash this planet clean like the Bible said

Hey, you can hold on steady and try to be ready

But everybody's gonna get wet

Don't think it won't happen just because it hasn't happened yet.

Well I'm just fading away from yesterday

Behind the wheel of a stolen Chevrolet

I try to get a little higher

See if I can hot-wire reality.

You can hold on steady and try to be ready

But everybody's gonna get wet

Don't think it won't happen just because it hasn't happened yet

No, don't think it won't happen just because it hasn't happened yet

I know you don't think it won't happen just because it hasn't happened yet
