religion (u can lay your hands on me) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's human, it's our religion
No preacher to teach us to love
Two bodies, one vision
No one's watching over us
[Pre-Chorus]
We've been talking on the telephone for hours at night
Whilst I've been thinking about kissing you
I wanna consecrate your body, turn the water to wine
I know you're thinking about kissing, too
[Chorus]
Oh, girl, don't stop, please
You can lay your hands on me
Oh, girl, don't stop, please
You can lay your hands on me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, girl
You can lay your hands on me
[Verse 2]
It could be LA, it could be Heaven
If you're an angel, can I be your God?
You in all your glory, it's not confession
Baby, don't apologize
[Pre-Chorus]
We've been talking on the telephone for hours at night
Whilst I've been thinking about kissing you
I wanna consecrate your body, turn the water to wine
I know you're thinking about kissing, too
[Chorus]
Oh, girl, don't stop, please
You can lay your hands on me
Oh, girl, don't stop, please
You can lay your hands on me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, girl
You can lay your hands on me
You can lay your hands on me
[Bridge]
We've been talking on the telephone for hours at night
Whilst I've been thinking about kissing you
I wanna consecrate your body, turn the water to wine
I know you're thinking about kissing, too
[Chorus]
Oh, girl, don't stop, please
You can lay your hands on me
Oh, girl, don't stop, please
You can lay your hands on me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, girl (You can lay)
You can lay your hands on me (You can lay, you can, girl)
You can lay your hands on me
(You can lay your hands on me)

What did the director say about the music video?
[It’s] a certain kind of Eden. A new kind of religion. For centuries we have been told by different faiths so much what is right, what is allowed… but here the leader is a woman, and the women are encouraged to love each other. We wanted to make a world of sexiness without being exploitative and ico...
What have artists said about the song?
The banger! Well, that started as joke with Luke (Saunders), my guitarist. We’d just done a tour and we should have gone home, but we decided to spend an extra week in Minneapolis drinking White Russians and making music. Obviously all the music that we were making was pretty shit. To cleanse our pa...
What did Shura said about the music video?
I have had a long term fascination with nuns having fun, partly inspired by Sister Act, but I’m also just fascinated with religion and religion’s relationship with women and gay people. I had watched a few episodes of The Young Pope with Jude Law and I fell in love with his costume. I thought he loo...
