Well, i had a girl who was pretty for all to see,
But she spent her Sundays evangelically.
If she wasn't cute I might not have gone,
But I did and that's how I wrote this song.

I love you baby, but you bring me the Atheist Blues.

When I walked in everyone turned around to see,
They sure were keen to be introduced to me.
"We hope you'll come back every week.
Keep your pants on better only kiss her cheek."

I love you baby, but you bring me the Atheist Blues.

Come meet the preacher darling, give it a whirl,
And he said "You sent from the devil to test my girl."
"Come join the church and I'll change your fate."
But that's not exactly my ideal date.

I love you baby, but you bring me the Atheist Blues.

We went to the pub to meet her friends and drink,
But by pint number two they were telling me how to think.
They said "Boy, you'll always have our disdain,
'Til you find some faith and switch off your brain."

I love you baby, but you bring me the Atheist Blues.

Well the Alpha course seemed liberal, and fair,
But there's only one point of view allowed in there.
When I spoke they all seemed so surprised,
And that's not exactly as advertised.

I love you baby, but you bring me the Atheist Blues.

She said "I'm thinking darling, all the things you've done for me,
But Jesus told me that's not the way to be."
She said it's all part of his cosmic plan,
That she cheats on me with some Christian man.

I love you baby, but you bring me the Atheist Blues.
Ah, so long baby, you brought me them Atheist Blues.
