This song is set in 1970s Britain in the punk eara. The song focuses on a punk guy who gets saved but is rejected by the church
because of his punk image, and ends up with the following attitude when challenged by a Christian friend.
The Plot: The punk is singing about his church experience and how he use to be.
Christian Punk (conviction of a saint)
No one gives a monkies
And they take their flight
Not doing right
No works of faith
An attitude
“I’m going to heaven mate (friend)
And that’s all it matters”
I didn’t ask to be saved (alright)!
I ain’t going to the grave
CHORUS:
Hey Christian punk
With ya skinned head blues
And ya doubled tied shoes
What ya gonna do?
With ya double minded rules?
Here you are
Spiritually naked
And bare
Attitude
I don’t care
Going to heaven
That's all that matters
In it mate (friend)?
CHORUS:
Hey Christian punk
With ya skinned head blues
And ya doubled tied shoes
What ya gonna do?
With ya double minded rules?
No works of faith
What ya gonna do?
Ya naked and bare
Take a flight if you dare
But be aware
You’d better say a prayer
Show you really care
CHORUS:
Hey Christian punk
With ya skinned head blues
And ya doubled tied shoes
What ya gonna do?
With ya double minded rules?
What ya gonna do?
“Get helpful, in it mate (friend)?”
