So I'm not a huge fan, but I like their music and just realized today that one of their songs reminds me of a Bible story.

gouge away
you can gouge away
stay all day
if you want to

missy aggravation
some sacred questions
you stroke my locks
some marijuana
if you got some

gouge away
you can gouge away
stay all day
if you want to

sleeping on your belly
you break my arms
you spoon my eyes
been rubbing a bad charm
with holy fingers

gouge away
you can gouge away
stay all day
if you want to

chained to the pillars
a 3-day party
i break the walls
and kill us all
with holy fingers

gouge away
you can gouge away
stay all day
if you want to


sorry if it offends anyone because it says "marijuana". The song makes me wonder if there are any other secular songs that are about stories in the Bible.

Which one? :confused:

I don;t remember a Bible story about gouging.

It sounds like Samson and Delilah.

Yes, there are billions of songs about Biblical stories or themes, done by secular artists. Secular poets have been writing about the Bible for 2000 years. But they rarely get it right (usually criticizing it in some regard).

I like the Pixies' early stuff. I am not familiar with their lyrics, though.

It is Samson and Delilah. I can't really see in this particular song where they might be critcizing it...and I can't really recall other secular songs about Bible stories, but then again I don't pay much attention.

No, I don't mean they were being critical in this song. Just in many songs and poems in general.
