Album version:
A lie for a lie
But a truth for the truth
Church of Women
Is made out of milk
Which their love turns to butter
Church of Women
Will have you give praise
With a laugh, bark and stutter
Like us men, like us men
They are nothing like us men
Men have gargoyles round their hearts
I'm on my knees but dancing
Want to worship
At the church of women
Breathe 'em in
Until my head goes spinning round
Want to worship at the church
Let me worship at the church of women
Church of women
Is making donations
Of loving and giving
Church of women
Performing that miracle
Raising the living
Like us men, like us men
Will they ever like us men
Men have thorns around their minds
I'm on my mount and preaching
Want to worship
At the church of women
Breathe 'em in
Until my head goes spinning round
Want to worship at the church
Let me worship at the church of womenA lie for a lie
But a truth for the truth
Give 'em back their house
The walls, the doors
The floors and roof
And stop trying to diet 'em
On wafers and wine
And some myth we're in control
Now let's put things right
Let's multiply
The loaves and kisses
'Til we have enough to love and eat forever
Want to worship at the church of women
Breathe 'em in
Until my head goes spinning round
Want to worship at the church
Let me worship at the church of women
Worship at the church of women now

Demo version:
Lie for a lie, but a truth for the truth
Church of women is made out of milk
which they love turns to butter, -er, -er
Church of women would have you give praise
with a laugh bark and stutter, -er, -er
Like us men like us men they are nothing like us men
Men have gargoyles round their hearts
I'm on my knees but dancing
Want to worship at the church of women
Breathe 'em in until my head goes spinning around
Want to worship at the church,
Let me worship at the church of women
Church of women is making omissions and loving and giving, -ing, -ing
Church of women performing a miracle raising the living, -ing, -ing,
Like us men like us men will they ever like us men?
Men have thorns around their minds
I'm on my mountain preaching
Want to worship at the church of women
Breathe 'em in until my head goes spinning around
Want to worship at the church,
Let me worship at the church of women
Lie for a lie but a truth for the truth
Give 'em back their house - the walls the doors the floors and roof
Stop trying to diet on the wafer and wine and admit we're in control
Now let's put things right,
Let's multiply the love and kisses
Til we have enough to love and eat forever
Want to worship at the church of women
Breathe 'em in until my head goes spinning around
Want to worship at the church,
Let me worship at the church of women
