Eve was framed

[shovelbum]

I am taking a course called "Women and Religion" and we are invited to write a quote on the blackboard everyday if we choose. I was trying to think of some NW lyrics that might fit the bill. Does anyone have any ideas?

"Man is not a rational animal, he is a rationalizing animal." ~Robert Heinlein

[glokstadt]

A few songs to check out the lyrics to:

Jimmy Somerville - Eve
Ani DiFranco - Adam and Eve
The Incredible String Band - Adam and Eve
The Fall - Ten Houses of Eve

These might fit the bill, there has to others...

"They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple/Man, I ain't goin' for that". - Pink Cadillac (granted, not new wave, but the first thing that popped in my head).

[plagiarism]

Not new wave, but there's Van Stephenson's "Modern Day Delilah".

The only NW songs that are popping into my mind are

* 88 Lines about 44 women: "Deborah was a Catholic girl, she held out to the bitter end" and "Cathy was a Jesus freak, she liked that kind of misery".

* Joan of Arc/Maid of Orleans, but that's more applied religion. [:)]

There's a line about Eve in The Church's "Reptile."

And I should have believed Eve.
She said we had to blow.
She was the apple of my eye.
It wasn't long ago. (Chorus)
