Might just be a child's plastic trumpet.

I think it's something like this.

Pew! Pew!

Clumsy piano poundings.

Is this a long album?

Strange rhythmic pattern.

I just posted that on a wrong thread. On a different forum.

Track 3 - Godsong.

Getting into a bit of theology now.

Hints of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

God never really did like man anyway
At least not after they started walking around on their hind legs
And talking on the telephone, of course poor God's point of view
Wasn't easy now (to) understand
He had invented man from dead things
At that time there were no grave yards to rob
So He had been forced to use dead worms, some sea weed
That had laid out on the beach for quite a while
For quite a while

At that time man had four legs and no telephone
A major mistake came when God decided that man should think
A trait that He'd long desired for Himself
What God no doubt intended was
For man to think about Him
And that was important because
God just wanted to be
Just another normal deity
Deity Deity Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty

All that God wanted to be
Was just a normal deity
All that God wanted to be
Was just another normal deity
All that God wanted to be
Was just a deity
Just a normal deity
All that God wanted to be
Just a normal deity
All that God wanted to be
Just a normal deity

All went well for quite a while
Man was a wonderful creature
With long rich engraved face
Four fine legs ending in five mini-legs
And a coat of satiney hair
And large genitals
His thoughts were pure and
Full of wonder
The wonder part was God's favorite
(at least at first)
Because that's the part that gave Him
His Identity Identity Identity Identity

Oh, it was so wonderful for God
Man's... Man's questions turned to visions
And visions gave God
All kinds of exciting things to do
Someday He would be a God of wrath
Wreaking havoc upon undisciplined mankind
And at other times He'd be a God of love and compassion
Of course these were all things that man had invented
So God had a hard time getting the full grasp
But...

One of His favorite things
Was man's believing in Him, and then not believing in Him
One of His favorite things
Was man's believing in Him, and then not believing in Him
Believing in Him, Not believing in Him
...Believing in Him, Not believing in Him
.......Believing in Him, Not believing in Him
...........Believing in Him, Not believing in Him
...............Believing in Him, Not believing in Him
...................Believing in Him, Not believing in Him
.......................Believing in Him, Not believing in Him
...........................Believing in Him, Not believing in Him
...............................Believing in Him, Not believing in Him
...................................Believing in Him, Not believing in Him
.......................................Like some hide and seek game
...................................Over
...............................And
...........................Over
.......................And
...................Over and Over
...............Believing in Him
...........Believing in Him
.......Believing in Him
...Not believing in Him...
Not believing in Him?
I think He liked believing in Him much better...
But I'm not sure...

I wonder who this is singing?

It's not Homer Flynn or Hardy Fox for certain.
